I have to say that I had a really nice sewing room before, but now I have an AWESOME sewing room. My sewing room is located in the top of our garage and is approximately 14' X 20'. About 9 years ago, that was an unfinished spaced, so DH and I spent a few months finishing it.

This year I decided I wanted to give it a facelift and come up with better storage/organization. I painted the room and hubby and I made laminate counter tops. I got a book from the library and watched lots of videos on how to do the laminate countertop. Amazingly it wasn't too difficult to do. I used Kraft Maid cabinets that you assemble yourself and bought them at Lowe's.

The planning wall is actually the doors to my wardrobes which store my obscene amount of fabric. I made curtains for the window and the closet, and I also covered my ironing board in a coordinating fabric.

I finally have the sewing room of my dreams. :D

Ditto! This room is so lovely, very inspiring in an attainable way. Lots of solid ideas here, thanks! LOVE the large appliqué block and matching pieced block on the design wall.

envy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you sewing room is wonderful!!! Congratulations on having such a wonderful space to work and create in. I love your wrap around counter. And I think your huge design wall is perfect since it also hides your stash. After all you don't want your stash to get faded or dirty being out in clear sight. Enjoy using it.

But I know you must be grateful you have a room. My first was the space under the stairwell. I could slide in and slide out. :-D But it was mine and I could close the door and hide my work in progress. Now my space is the converted attic. I even have room for my Little Gracie frame and machine. I love it. :lol:

Hattie Frances 10-21-2011 06:38 PM

WOW!!! nice setup. I expect to see great quilts coming out out that sewing room.

Glassquilt 10-21-2011 06:38 PM

OH!! I always wanted a U-shaped desk for homework. I'm drooling over yours.

Wine Woman 10-21-2011 06:46 PM

What a wonderful sewing room! There's one thing you are hiding from us and that's your fabrics! :hunf: Please share we want to see what's behind the wall!?!

quiltgrammyt2 10-21-2011 06:49 PM

I soooo love your space!! Its absolutely perfect, I wouldn't change a single thing if it were mine!! And as another posted, it's so inspiring and attainable for most of us to borrow your ideas! ;)

Mad Mimm 10-21-2011 07:36 PM

I want to see a pic of those cabinets open and all that fabric!!! Seriously though, what a gorgeous, well-organized space. It must be an absolute pleasure to spend time there. This Woman Cave gets a serious :thumbup: !!
