Like many others, i am in a small bedroom too. After my sons left the nest i had the choice of one of their bedrooms for my sewing room - i took the one with 2 windows! 😊 It’s been a work in progress for a while but i think i finally have it the way i want it. Work area with a small table, my main sewing machine and my sitdown longarm are in the center of the room. I have a separate cutting table and an ironing station. My brother gifted me with a beautiful treadle so had to work that in too! My goal was to have a cozy but comfortable space where two people could sew (gotta have room for your quilting buddy!) - but still be able to move around freely without having to squeeze between things. When planning the best layout for me i measured the room within an inch of its life many, many times! Last October i got the sitdown longarm... amazingly it nested perfectly in the center of the room with my main sewing machine and a small work table! It took some talking... but finally convinced my DH that i really, really, really wanted my Happy Place painted Lilac (he is an outdoors kinda guy and freely admits that his favorite “color” is camo)!
Excuse the mess, been working in there! The one good thing about a small space is that you usually need to put one project away before you start another. But at least it’s my room and i can leave things out if i want. Our house has an open floor plan and this room can be readily seen from the main area. But if i have a mess i can just shut the door!
