Start reducing your stash..............a few at a time.
It will make your feel good.

sounds like you need to get rid of some "stuff".

My husband and I have our own "rooms" in a portion of our basement right next to each other. (an open area, but we have our boundaries---------his & hers) Quilting & clock repair. We both have storage for our stuff, & I have a long arm quilting machine! It took some planning, but it works fine for us.

You go girl!!!I surround myself with what makes me happy and fabric makes me happy.

when my son moved out a few months ago, I quickly took over his bedroom for my sewing room. I have that set up strictly as a "sewing area" - where I work on the actual project. But, we also had another bedroom not being used so I set that one up with my fabric and cutting area. I was able to keep a twin bed in there for when my son comes home for a visit. But, I, too, have noticed I'm slowly overtaking the dining area (no table in there so it's empty too). I think we just tend to take over as our projects expand. :-)

I like the idea of a strictly cutting and fabric area. That helps - except that I still need to cut while I am sewing - so I would be going back and forth a lot. I would love a room that could fit a very long sturdy table for cutting.

Me too. I have my large cutting table in the room with my fabric for the initial cutting stage then I have another cutting station set up next to my machine when I need to do additional cutting. With my bad back, this works for me. Plus, I have a bar stool at my large cutting table to sit down when I need to.

I have a small room upstairs to sew. But I get lonely up there sometimes. So....I bring my machine downstairs and sit here and sew...then when hubby realizes that I am sewing down here...he says 'YOU GOT A SEWING ROOM UPSTAIRS FOR THAT" AND I say...yes honey, I know, I just don't want you to feel lonely down here all by yourself. Works every time.

I got a suggestion. Once we all run out of space for our fabric...we can always build our houses UPWARDS with another floor. ONLY FOR SEWING. Nothing else. Well maybe a bathroom. :)

We have a small house (even by UK standards) but my lovely DH has encouraged me to 'nick' the study. I don't think I'd have the nerve to use any other rooms. Get sewing and use up some of that stash.
