You did a really great job planning this. I love to plan sewing and other rooms, and there is nothing I would change.

Fabulous plan! You have obviously figured everything out to suit your needs, and don't need any advice (at least not from me.) Just enjoy!!

I like this floor plan the best.

The design wall is "above" the armoire in the photo, it will actually be to the side of it. That space (3 feet) isn't enough for anything else, and there's room for it to be 10'x12' if I prefer. Hubby will build it for me afterwards.

No room for a larger bathroom. My original design didn't include one as we were going to build right next to the house, but it got moved out into our orchard, about 300 feet from the house, so I had to chop down everything to squeeze the bathroom in.

I didn't look at your earlier drawing, but here's some thoughts, late as they may be!

* if you're planning to use it as an utility sink ... you might want a larger room to allow for space to work, and set things to the side as you work.
* you mentioned your design wall was above the armoire ... when using, you may prefer to not have the armoire in the way, for easy access for placing of blocks or assembled sections of a quilt ... or even a whole quilt.
* you can't go wrong with a larger design wall! Mine is 10 ft x 7ft and I've never regretted it, as I can have more than one project on at a time and have even had fully assembled quilts on, til they were quilted. I do have the full 8 ft to the floor, but kept the wall above the plugs, to save fitting around them.
* indeed, add an easy chair or small couch to get comfy in, when doing hand sewing that takes time!

Good Luck ... and have FUN with the process!

I can't answer you on the amperage. We'll be tying into my hubby's shop which is on it's own meter, 220 service. I WILL be having separate breakers for both ironing stations and each work station. I'm going to put a ton of can lights in the ceiling, with daylight spectrum florescent bulbs in them. I have them in my kitchen and love them. They'll not only be around the perimeter of the room, but over each work area and in the closet.

Be sure to include wiring for overhead lighting and plenty of wall outlets. The older I get the more light i need.
How many amp electrical service panel are you considering?
Can't wait to see finished studio.
