Hey everyone ! My husband and I just bought a new house and even though the girls will have their own bedrooms for the very first time it is a little smaller.

The good news is my husband is building, or closing in a room for me in our shop building and i will have my very first sewing space/room ! YAY everything will all be in one space! The room is gonna be huge 25 x 15 i think he said! WOW I'm excited ! I will post pictures when he gets it all done! Bonus!There will be enough room for me to put all my vintage machines on the wall so i can look lovingly at the ones I'm not using!!

Wooooo! Start dreaming of storage space, because you are gonna need it!!! :D

Wow, that's great!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you! Be sure to keep us posted :D

When we moved 5 years ago it was a top priority for me to have my own sewing room in my new house. It's so wonderful for so many reasons! Enjoy!

Wow. You have been blessed. New home and new sewing space. Enjoy!

What a wonderful thing! I have my own room, it is small and crowded, but I love it! Only thing is my Juki and frame have taken over the dining room....would love to have a large enough space for it to be all together.

Yes, please, send pics!

Congratulations!!! Have fun in your new space and please post a pictures.

Make sure you have lots of lighting, plenty of plugs and wall space for that design wall. And with a space that big maybe someday you can put a long arm in there.

Happy News! Enjoy your new digs!

Congratulations! Having a separate sewing room is wonderful. One of the nice things about being an empty nester, I have a spare bedroom for sewing and a guest room (that is used for storage!) Rarely ever have overnight guests. Have fun with your new room.

you are very lucky

Congratulations! Be sure to make yourself a cool design wall and plenty of storage space!

Congratulations!!

good for you.4 yrs ago my honey and I bought an old farmhouse.It needed/still needs lots of work but I now have a sewing room ,a fabric/book room and a quilting room for my longarm,yea.I am also an empty nester.I spent most of my life sewing on the kitchen table or coffee table sew I am blessed now.

Congrats....having your own space gives you the option of sewing at a moment's notice....and since I work 40 hours a week....sometimes I just want to sit and sew for 5 or 10 minutes....it adds up!

Enjoy! Look at IKEA, Pottery Barn, etc., catalogs for good storage shelves, cabinets and then see if you can make look alikes or buy cheaper at stores or online.

Wow, what a nice size room you're going to have! You're going to go crazy trying to figure out what you want to go here or there. There are some books on designing sewing spaces, maybe they can give you ideas you haven't thought of yet. You've got a really nice hubby who takes your sewing seriously enough to do this for you. :thumbup:

Good for you! My hubby gave me space in our finished basement. Still waiting for my large cutting table, but for now I have 2 tables serving my needs. I love it!

Tally Kathy is right...Do a search here for An English Country Sewing Room and see what she has done. Her cutting table you can find at Ikea http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60045393. She put two of them back to back, filled the shelves with bins and put her cutting mats on top. They are a great height for cutting. I can't afford them, but my husband is going to build me something similar.

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS! It is such a blessing to have your own space!

One good thing about having lots of bedrooms when the kids are home is when they leave the rooms are empty! I have four spare bedrooms now.

Woo Hoo! :D:D:D

Please send us pics when you have it all organized. I am getting a 20 x 20 sewing room in one year and I need ideas!!

I was just looking at a magazine at the store yesterday called, Where Woman Create. (I think) It was so beautiful. It had the work spaces of designers like Amy Butler and lots of others. I was going to buy it, but it was pretty expensive. But wow, it sure was full of ideas for work places.

Congrats!!! That will be absolutely wonderful for you!! I'm jealous, still going between places!

Congratulations! So glad to hear. I know you will enjoy it. will look forward to pictures.

Congrats! That will be nice to have your very own sewing space!

My dream is to have that one day too. I live in a 2 story house with a finished basement. I have sewing stuff on all three levels.

Please post pics when you can of your new space.

sometimes husbands do understand us! Mine transformed an empty bedroom and it's wonderful--if he's that handy he can make you custom cabinets for a fraction of the price Hahn's wants. Mine even make a sewing table with the exact cutout of my benina so I have a wonderful 3 x 5 foot flat sewing surface.

When we built our home 50 years ago, the architect put a sewing room in the plans. It was great That lasted six months when my DH decided to move his radio equipment in the same room. Reason......It was where the phone was.

As my four sons moved out I Moved from one bedroom to another until the sons at one time or another had to move back for money reasons.

They are all finally in their own homes and DH has passed on. I now have the Florida room which is 25' x25' all to myself and three empty bedrooms for the overflow. I'm in heaven. Of course, my family think I'm nuts to have so much fabric and so many machines. Their problem, not mine. My doctor says I'm not certifiable yet but maybe in another 20 years.

Congrats! I just got my own room a little over a week ago. We are now empty-nesters. Our kids both moved out within the last 2 months. My husband has his den and I have my sewing room. I used to have the basement which wasn't too bad. I had lots of room - I had 3 6' tables so I could spread out my projects, but it was also kinda damp and musty down there.

We're so lucky. Florida doesn't have basements usually. Just heeeeeeeaaaaaattttt. Oh yes and a hurricane once in awhile. If you have lived in Florida as long as I have, you learn to stay in the air-conditioning and how to duck for storms.

I am so happy for you. Have fun in your new room.

How nice for you. that is a big space. enjoy

That is so exciting for you! Can't wait to see pics.

Sounds like room for a long arm machine... congrats!

Lucky you - send pics when finished

That's wonderful, post pics love seeing sewing spaces.

Hurray Hurray You will love having your own space It is soooooooo wonderful. My DH just keeps making mine better. I have to be careful what I ask for in there because he tries to do it right away, and I'm afraid it will get too crowded

Congratulations!!! It's always great to hear a quilter getting their own sewing room!!! Take pictures when it's complete!!Wooohooo!!!!

Lucky you, sounds awesome.

That is great. God bless.
