Some may remember my old one--12 by 7 and quite cozy. :lol: My daughter wanted me to take her bedroom, but she's graduating from college in May, and I'm not comfortable taking her room until she's married. So, hubby and I had the idea to switch the library and the sewing room. I knew it'd be a huge job, so was going to wait until Christmas break to tackle it, but there seemed to be time over Thanksgiving break. So, the switch was made. What a change!!!!
First, the old sewing room, then how that transformed into a library (we got rid of a LOT of books), then the new sewing room! The kitchen table was my cutting table, so we went shopping for a new cutting table, but ended up buying a new kitchen table! Our old one only holds six, so since our family is growing, it was time to expand; the new one can hold 10 if we need it to. :-D
Remember this one?

See the rocking chair with the green seat? My grandmother's brother made that for her. She gave it to me. I treasure it. The quilt I made her hangs on my sewing chair.

Cutting table (prior kitchen table). All my scraps fit underneath! I'm still wondering where the best place for that thread holder is.

Sneak peek--students' bookmarks just need tassels and beads.

Books are organized with grandkids in mind--although they are about 5 years away yet. ;-)

The ironing board will just be moved where it's out of the way.
