I just bought a 6' folding table to set my sewing machine on...an upgrade from the old card table. And I have an old singer in a cabinet that I have a small tabletop ironing board on it when not using it. Did I say that this room is only 10' x 12'? It's small & getting smaller by the minute. Looking at your pictures I see my future...ha. Lucky you for being so rich in fabric!
This sounds familiar to me. My sewing room started out as my sons' old bedroom too. It still had the bottom half of a bunkbed in it at the beginning. That soon left in order for me to have more usable space. Now lining the edges of the room are : bins of fabric, a bookcase, a dresser (filled w/ fabric, patterns, sewing needs), a light stand (I do start some seeds in March/April- but is mostly used for WIP, yarn, thread storage), my computer desk and my sewing machine sits on an old dining room table. In between some fabric bins and my sewing machine is my ironing board/table. I have to move it if I need to get to those bins of yellow, orange, teal, purple, blue, red and pink, tho. We work with the space we have and hopefully we won't outgrow it! Or if we do, hopefully there's a larger space we can move to.
