My sewing room is small. Mark says he could never work in there, but I assure him it's cozy. :wink: However, it seems I've outgrown it, and I blame the craft sale prep. There's a possibility it has something to do with a love of buying fabrics? Nah. :roll:
My daughter said to take her bedroom, but she's only 18 and even if she works away from home summers, she'll still be back for long breaks from school. So, after careful planning, I decided the only option was to swap the small bookshelf for two larger ones. It did the trick!! :D I'm so pleased with the results. And the book shelves were under $30 each at Wal-Mart. I bought two for my classroom this summer. There's one small window that faces south, but I keep the curtains pulled all the time. Here are the before shots... after to follow. |

After!!!! :D :D :D
What went on the bookcase are kid fabrics, flannel cut up flannel blocks batiks CW fabrics large pattern flowers etc that don't fit in a color category there's a pile of unfinished Talk-About-Quilts a small pile of fabrics I wanted to keep together a shelf with notebooks of patterns and sale price tags stuff one open shelf with scissors, rulers etc bottom has books and magazines other bottom has all patterns in a basket, along with Wonder Under, photo sheets, etc. I'm sure I'll rearrange as needed, but this works for now!! |

More....
We may take the file cabinet out, but it does help to have it there. The other picture is a coat tree I use for UFOs. Those are the keepers that won't go to the sale... so they aren't a priority. |
Wow!!!! What a stach. Love your sewing room.
|
Lovely make over and the daughter's room is intact (for a few more years! :wink: )
Making use of the vertical space in sewing room is essential! And tall book shelves always are a good idea! Nice job! |
