These represent the latest pictures of my sewing room. The main change is the computer area, but there are a few new wrinkles here and there. Most of the things you might have seen at one time or another but this is the most recent rendition. But I am constantly tweaking this place, as I come up with new ideas.

Nice sewing space. I really like the covers for your sewing machines. They are cute. I keep dreaming of having a nice big room to sew in. I sew in an extra bedroom, and all through the house. I have an understanding DH so it works for me. Then I have more money for fabric and supplies, and retreats.

Wow, John! What a great space-I'm jealous!! I noticed your great quilted wastebasket cover!! Did you make it with a pattern, or by yourself?? I would love to make one, but feel more confident with a pattern! I made a machine cover, without a pattern, but it took me AGES!

Great room. Are you in the attic on the third floor?

Aha! I new you would have to be messy in some area - look at the fabric! Not nearlly as organized as your thread cabinet pictures! I'm messing with you, really a great room.
All of the furniture you have made is terrific. Nice job.

Thread does tend to stick to the insides but I don't care, because I can use the vacuum cleaner to suck them out.

What a great sewing room John. I'm working on mine (again! :)). Always changing things around. I also have a scrapbooking area in the room and it's hard to fit both in there, but I'm trying.

No, I am in a room on the second floor. It has a peaked roof. The only advantage/disadvantage is it is right over the kitchen and my wife is a knockout good cook and the smells sometimes drive me downstairs for the purpose of quality control of whatever she is doing. It is almost impossible to practice "Girth Control".
