Does anybody know what an empty feeling that is?

What a great idea. I need to spread stuff out a little. Batting would be good under the bed.

I love having a design wall in my sewing area. I find it really helps me as I plan a quilt. If you have the wall space, definitely add one. The bigger the better. Mine is 8 feet square, and I sometimes even wish it was a little bigger than that.
I also find a large cutting surface to be very helpful. Most tables are too low for me, and I end up with an aching back. My cutting table is a hollow core door placed on top of a day bed from Ikea -- it happens to be the perfect height for me. And since my sewing area doubles as a guest room on occasion, it's a good use of space for the dual purposes of the room. What else -- lighting. REally good light can make your space so much more enjoyable to work in. Definitely an area I need to improve in mine. RST |
go to search on this site and put in sewing rooms. Lots of pictures and ideas. I tell everyone that cause I go a few ideas for myself there
|
Go to Wal Mart a get a set of bed risers for around $7 and put under the legs of your cutting table to bring it up to a more comfortabe height for working.

I love the sewing room ideas that everyone contributed - Can't wait to see your pics -
|
my wallet would be doing the happy dance.

I am oh sooo jealous! Wouldn't know how to act in that wonderful room. My is like a postage stamp compared to yours.
