My Sewing Area - finally a space to call my own!
 
So I've never had a dedicated sewing area; it's always just been me sitting at a tiny, wobbly desk with the computer keyboard shoved aside and cutting on a tiny mat on a tiny kitchen table. Then we bought a diningroom table which, much to my husband's dismay, acquired all of my sewing gear - in all its glory.


Now that we're leasing a new, bigger place, I could actually set up an area in the basement for all of my sewing stuff, and I'm really excited about it.

Here are the pics!

It is a nice light, but it's taking some getting used to. These new blue-ish LED lights on machines nowadays I find are a lot harsher on my eyeballs than the good ol' incandescent bulb on my 1970's Brother. But it is nice to have such a well lit area!

Very nice sewing area!!
