Looks very cozy and efficient. At one time when I was married, we didn't use our front door so I set up my sewing space in the small foyer. It was amazing how much sewing I got done in that little space. Enjoy yours.

I would also love to know what you used to build up your table to fit your sewing machine. Looks like a great idea.

We used Margarita McManus' tutorial for making the table top to sit my Juki down to tabletop level. Used thick insulation from Home Depot, then covered it with thick plastic from JoAnn's Fabrics. It just took a few hours from start to finish, and I absolutely love it this way.. and it works like the Supreme Slider for moving quilts around on it.

I'll go look up MM's tute and post it for you.....

Besides using the closet and the shelves above my sewing table, I have a 6 drawer dresser full... it isn't in the pictures.

I love my little corner of the house....

Margarita McManus has tutorials on ergonomic designs for making your sewing table and work space better for you... My sewing table was made using her tutorials.. THANK YOU MARGARITA MCMANUS!!!
