Is it attached to your house? I envy such a large space.

I have seem many great sewing rooms on this board, but I have to tell you that my personal favorite is your "sewing studio". Your cutting table with those drawer fronts is to die for. And then there is your design wall and all your storage areas. Your room is truly beautifully designed..so well thought out. I love that you use that picture as your avatar. :-D :-D :-D

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.

What did you make your risers out of and where did you get them?

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.

get rid of the bed, get an air bed for the occasional company & put them in the living room....

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
