I see gorgeous sewing rooms... then there's mine....

Well, as you know you are not alone. On May 19th I posted before and after pics of my sewing room, and I am glad I did. Everyone was very helpful with advice and comments. I think I maybe had one negative comment. And I didn't care.
I still need to sort my fabric, but it is summer and that is not on the top of things to do list, I do some here and there. At least I can go in the room and work.
I feel so good going in there now, and I am proud to say it is still in order and will remain that way.
So good luck to you, and thanks to everyone on the forum who has been there or is there and always offering a shoulder to lean on.

I am so happy but so discouraged at the same time.A wonderful lady gave ma a large amount of material.That makes me happy ,what discourages me is I have no place to put it.I put it in my suppose to be sewing room on top of all the other material people gave me but I cant get into the room to sew.I so need a bigger house.One just for me and my sewing.

To DebShelties--you're not realistic.. and JustFlyingIn...I'm more with you. My sewing/computer/wordprocessor/tv/smocking/storage/etc room is only 18x24..and crowded!!! I invested in some large clear plastic boxes, and they are jammed in behind the bar.. and bolts of fabric on large plastic shelves.. along with several sewing machines,(desk models also) 2 treadle machines, pleater, small Singer, Serger,l ironing board, 2 large desks, 5 filing cabinets, shelves along the walls for books, and more material, and still it's a mess... I walk around sideways, and then there are the 2 kittens that climb on EVERYTHING, and that falls on the floor, materials as well as papers, and it's difficult for me to bend over, due to my 81 yr old back.. No, I'm not taking pictures.. Diana O.

I love looking at those gorgeous sewing rooms also, where everything has a place, and everything is in its place... but where do they keep all of their patterns, books, MATERIAL??? There are a few fat quarters here and there, but that's it... and there are maybe 2 rotary cutters, and that's it... and all the rulers? and all the other goodies? certainly not in front of the camera.... C'mon now, they're not realistic... Diana O.
