A year on....
 
5 Attachment(s)
Last year my husband very kindly converted our small room into a sewing room..... It is a really small room so we ripped everything and after a visit to ikea set out kitting it out.....we needed a bed settee so that if guests come we can use it as a bedroom.......which we have done a number of times. It is great. We didn't fix the unit top to the base cupboards so when guests come the top goes up against a wall....the units all budge together and the bed gets pulled out......and it still looks tidy.
I have had it for a year now and it is a wonderful room. It is really easy to keep tidy which I try to do after every project....as I said it is a tiny space but I love it
I only have my Janome out at the moment but I can fit either my embroidery machine or overlocker on the unit too....so as much space as I need.

Nice and tidy sewing space! I really like the brown woven pull out baskets.

What a super neat room! How wonderful!

Because it is such a small space (10"x 9"approx) it has to stay tidy otherwise it becomes a pit....but good storage made all the difference.....Good old Ikea.
Before I stored all my fabric in large storage boxes which was fine but if I wanted some fabrics five boxes down it was a major lifting exercise....using the folding method suggested by the board has transformed how I do a project...I can look through my stash easily and quickly .....does that mean I don't buy so much....Heck no...quilters have a fabric addiction.....just have to have that fat quater!

Great sewing room. I would have left the bed out and made room for a cutting table.
Thats what they make Motels for. LOL

I couldn't agree more....but don't think my daughter would be too happy.....also it would so have to be an amazing longarm...oh in my dreams !!

Very nice job pulling that together. Will look back at this when I get ready to do mine!

Pam S 03-15-2012 12:17 PM

Wow, amazing use of a small space. Look at how much storage you've managed to get in there. My room is slightly bigger than yours and there's no way I could fit a bed in there!

Grandma Peg 03-15-2012 12:26 PM
