I agree, athomesewing do you sew/quilt for a business, by chance do you have a long arm in that studio?

hi there everyone....my sewing room is also a craft/computor rm...:-(! i lived alone from 1997 until May of 2004,(I retired 12/31/2003)and my son and his 2 kids moved in with me(my decision). My house has 3, small, bdrms and no family rm or extra room. My son and his 5yr old son took the room i had my sewing/crafts in and my 3 yrs ol grandaughter bunked in with me. Now, she will be 9 and he will be 11 and i got everything piled into one small rm. I had bought my new Singer XL1000 in Feb 0f 2004 so it is in here too. I uncovered my quilt top, Grandmother's Flower Garden", my mom had mostly hand pieced(some machine)in the 1950's. She gave it to me before she passed away and now i am trying to get a border on it and send it to my cousin who does maching quilting as her business. I will try to attach a pic of it(if i know how). One of my sisters has learned to quilt and has made about 4 quilts in about 2 yrs. She never sewed much and has done this since mom passed. She does beautiful work too.(mom always thought I would be the one to make quilts.
Am I talking to much?? thanks for the ears. |

When my DS graduated from college and moved to NYC, I took over his room for sewing. When he's home for a visit he stays in the den which has a TV and the sewing room does not. Last September my DD moved out and I've slowly been moving things into that room also. I do still have a bed in there for company.

Walmart sells the risers. I have a 2 br house and living in FL, we have to have a guest room. So we got rid of the 2 twin beds in there and bought a trundle bed so 2 can sleep. Hubby made me a 2 part collapsible cutting table 24x36, so I can take that down if guests come. Bought a big white entertainment center at the Habitat store and have it filled with fabric, batting and cross stitch stuff. Have my mother's old vanity (looks like a low desk). Put blocks on it to raise it to desk height and use it for sewing machine. Lots of drawers and makes me feel good using something like that. I had a friend over who's just starting out quilting. She stood in the doorway and said "I think this is heaven." I love it in there.

How do you have your sewing rooms set up to accomodate the most usage of a small space, send me pictures if you can. I am so tempted to take the bed out but have no where to store it, once my daughter graduates college and moves out I can take over her room as the sewing room but that will be 1-2 years. that way they don't mess up your stuff!! |

I am lucky to have just moved from a smaller bedroom to a larger bedroom (it used to be my daughter's room). I moved all my Ikea cabinets to the new room, and added some more. Relatively inexpensive way to get storage.

Is the table your sewing machine is in from Ikea also? I really like it and it looks like you have lots of room. Thanks, Sarah
