I'm still sorting and putting stuff away, so it's rather messy but getting there!
My husband really did not want to build a building for my sewing, so in the end we decided to build a new chicken coop - expand the summer kitchen into the old coop, move all my canning stuff out there, move DH's reloading stuff into the large walk in closet (where it use to be) and move my treadle machines to the small upstairs bedroom that DH was using, and then use my dressing room as my office. A lot of moving stuff around. Probalby a better use of resources, but it would have been fun to have the building . . . I'd be broke too, but you can't have everything
Here is the upstairs - just moving a lot around. We put in track lighting so now we can see to work on that side of the room.
Moved the dining room table by the stairs - I put the extensions in and now have lots of storage underneath too.
This is my main sewing area - when cleaned off, there is an ironing station next to my main machine (and a Singer 500 in the cabinet). There is a 99k in the cabinet my serge is on, and then a Pfaff 130 in the next cabinet, and my Pfaff embroidery machine on top. I put the cute GE Sewhandy on display above.
This is my work area - cutting station to the right - with a day bed underneath. There is room to pull the bed out for use, but so far we've only needed it once when our Son was visiting this spring. Ironing board in the middle (the mangle will go underneath when put back together) and the new treadle cabinet is going in place of the one on the end of the ironing board. Not sure where that cabinet will go yet- it's got a newer Free/New Home inside.
To the left is DH's sewing area - storage for his fabric and notions on the end - with his 403 in this cabinet, and his Bernina 830 Record on the cabinet behind. He can move it when he wants to use that one. The Singer 101 is tucked in the back cabinet - somewhat inaccessable, but DH says that is fine - he says if he never sees the 101 again that will be OK with him (not going to tell him I want to put it on display downstairs).
In the middle are three more "sewing stations" the right is a cabinet with DH's 201 and then a cabinet along the wall with a 15 inside, and DH's Viking 21A on top. The cabinet splits in the middle so I can actually open it up even with the sloped ceiling. To the left is the trapizoid cabinet, and eventually the 319 will go inside. The Kenmore is sitting on top as DH wants to use that machine too.
So, that accounts for 16 machines.
