My sewing room/office is jammed and I bought a sewing table that almost take up the whole wall. Well, It has a lift up back so when you are quilting something big you have more space so it does not drag. It is a major overhaul of moving lots of stuff to get that back up. what was i thinking??? I take water and some times eat at the computer desk. Thanks for the coffee warning.

My sewing room was son's bedroom in a former life. My husband added some great features and made me glorious furniture, but we left the carpet. Would love some type of wood flooring, those sneaky pins hide on me & we're a no shoes in the house most of the time family...

I will never again let my 'well behaved' puppy in my sewing room! She was fast asleep on her bed in the corner, or so I thought. I found her covered in my once neatly laid out blocks on my 'design' floor, with a nice soggy piece of fabric hanging out of her mouth! Thankfully, she had only just started chewing and besides puppy saliva, no permanent damage was done.

I will never let somebody "borrow an electrical outlet" in my studio to plug in a crockpot that stunk up the place something fierce. Don't know what she was cooking but it took several weeks for the "fragrance" to go away.

Wow, this thread sat dormant for two years before recently being revived!
I will add that I will never cut sparkly, or sequined fabric in my sewing area... and always will spray baste outside. I have a table I set up in the middle of the yard for that!

At least very little of it is done with the checkbook anymore.
