Congratulations on having your own space for sewing and quilting. It is wonderful to have a place where you can create, then close the door, leave everything where you left it so it's there when you come back to it. I miss my sewing room so much as 3 years ago we had to move to a 2 bedroom apt. from a 3 bedroom home, where I had my sewing room in the basement until we moved it upstairs to my daughter's old room to have a smaller space to heat. Now I have a small space in my bedroom (I insisted on separate bedrooms when we moved as we are together 24/7 due to disability retirement) and every night I have to clean up so that I will be able to sleep in my bed. It's so easy to get disorganized that way and lose things, but at least I have a place to sew.

Great sewing room.

Oh there is something very wrong here. Your sewing room is absolutely gorgeous. When I'm working on a project my room looks like a tornado went through, then I clean it up and off I go again. Love the wall hanging, gorgeous!

I loved this post. Your sewing room is great. I could not help but notice the sewing caddy under the window. I've been looking for one of those for years. I had an aunt who had one and I would "play" with it when we went to visit her.
Does it have lids that open on both sides? She had tons of sewing stuff and scraps in it. I found out later in life that she never really sewed, but left it there for me the play with. I wish I knew what happened to it when she passed. I have wonderful memories about the sewing caddy. I'm glad to see one still in use.

I totally empathize here. I too have my own sewing room and though I am blessed that my health is good (I have MS) and I have a job and a roof over my head I cannot complain. However I work 10 hr days in the sun here and after a while you just want to come home to sleep. My kids are grown and out of the house and its just my boyfriend and I and I try my best to sew in the weekend but there is always SOMETHING that needs to be done and its not sewing :( Our goal is to save the next two yrs collectively to buy a home maybe the one we rent right now. But I do miss sewing and even if I go into the room to iron fabric it brings a sense of relaxation for me in my "lady cave" :)

Your room is lovely! So neat! I remember those years of not having a place to sew. I hated having to pack everything up every day. Consequently, I didn't sew nearly as much as I wanted. The others are right--even when you retire, you won't have enough time, but you will have more! Happy sewing!

nice! nice! nice!!

You have a great space to retreat to. Love the quilt you have hanging on the wall above your sewing machine.

I love your room! I know what you meant about work interfering with quilting. I just put a note on another thread that I wish I could win the lottery to quit my job and quilt more. As for always having to pickup and put things away, I still have to do that because I use the kitchen table to sew on. I hope to have my own sewing space one, day. I'll still have to be mindful to put certain things away though as I have a cat and she keeps me company when I sew. I want her there with me so I just be careful with pins and thread. Plus, she has made it quite clear to me more than once that she finds a closed door an insult and something that must be rectified at once! But then cats are like that... I doe hope you enjoy your new room.

I had to back and look for the sewing caddy. I have my grandmothers and I cherish it. It's painted black however, and I am thinking of getting it re-finished. I am glad you are using yours in your sewing room..
