small sewing room
I also have a small bedroom for my sewing room. Here is my ironing and cutting station. I bought a 2'x4' pine board from Lowe's covered it with heat resistant fabric, batting, old wool blanket and heat resistant fabric and stapled it to the board. Then I used a piano hinge to attach it to the back of the bureau, which I bought at a tag sale for $15 or $20, so when I am not using it I can lift it up and hook it to my pegboard wall above. I have a 18"x24" cutting mat I put on the left side and can iron on the right.If I need more space, I can take the cutting mat off, or likewise I can put a bigger cutting mat on top. If I have patterns I want to do in the near future I put them in clear sleeves with a cheap shower hook, so I can hang them on the knobs of the bureau. I can change them out easily and they are very handy. You can get a package of the hooks at Walmart for $1 to $2. I put my fatquarters in the small center drawers, in the top 2 large drawers I put my patterns, and the other drawers have my fabric, folded with the 6"x24" ruler and folded in half, and they fit perfectly. I also put wheels on the bureau so I can move it around if I have too, I got tired of removing full drawers to move the bureau. LOL
I have my machine in front of the windows in my room. I bought the desk at the Goodwill for $20.00 and my DH cut out a hole for my machine. I put my machine on the cutout and can put my little box of accessories underneath it.
I also bought a small metal basket from the dollar store and screwed it to the side of the desk for my Thread stand and scissors, pincushion etc.
I hang all my rulers, hoops, scissors, small vacuum, etc. on the pegboard wall. I use an office desk carasol on my sewing desk for anything I need sewing etc. I bought that for $1 at the Goodwill.
I plan on painting the desk and bureau the same color and mod podging the drawer fronts.
