My Sewing Room/Office!
 
8 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone!

My name is Chelsey, and I'm a newbie on the forum. While I've dabbled in quilts previously, 99.9% of my sewing is for my online business, where I make hammocks/beds/cage liners for a small animals such as rats, ferrets, chinchillas, guinea pigs, etc. In the past year though, I converted a friend of mine from a knitter into a sewer, and she is absolutely quilt crazy! It's been fueling my urge to get more into making quilts (if only for myself, since I seriously can never find a bedspread/bed set I like).

All that aside, a couple weeks ago, I moved all of my sewing stuff into the finished basement room. Huge project with lots of organizing (which is my favorite thing ever), and it's all finished now! Well, besides maybe some cute wall art here and there... :) The pictures show the main part of the room with all of my sewing stuff, my computer, and the closet where I store excess fleece and mailing supplies. The other side of the room has a loveseat and coffee table. No pictures of that, since it's not very exciting!

Hope you like the pictures!

Welcome Chelsey. Really nice room, very neat and tidy. Now you should get in there and mess it up ;0)

Thank you!

I've cut/sewn a few orders in here finally, but it took me a while! The first week after it was finished, I couldn't bring myself to do anything in here, besides show it off to friends/neighbors, lol!

Welcome aboard! I love, love, love the towel bar ideas! What are the bars though? Look too thin for actual towel bars.

BellaBoo 11-18-2012 03:11 PM

Wonderful! I love a bright sewing room. White furnishings make all the difference too. So many rooms are dark with dark wood furniture. I know if my sewing room is pretty it's easier to keep tidy.

Sewfine 11-18-2012 03:20 PM

Love your sewing room/office. Wow!!! You have a nice fabric stash. Thanks for sharing.

annthreecats 11-18-2012 03:51 PM

Welcome to the message board. Great space.

I love your towel bars. Great idea. Where did you get the hanging cups? I would love to pick some up for my sewing room. Thanks for posting.

vondae 11-18-2012 07:58 PM

Fabulous!!! You have done a great job creating a wonderful space to create. I was wondering the same things as Camille, about the hanging cups/buckets. That is such a neat idea. I would like to add some to my sewing room.

audsgirl 11-18-2012 10:55 PM

That looks like a fun room to work in. I love the colors on the walls, and the fact that it is so easy to get around in. And what a terrific way to display your vintage machines!

LoisM 11-18-2012 11:26 PM

You have a FABULOUS set up! And those magnificent machines all lined up...wow!

​What a wonderful space to be creative in!

luvstoquilt301 11-19-2012 04:55 AM

nice metal shelves. We are moving across country and I had to get rid of all my bookcases. These look like they would come apart for a move. Where did your get them?

callen 11-19-2012 04:58 AM

Fabulous space ! Towel bars are such a terrific idea. Tks for sharing. You are one lucky gal!!

ksdot417 11-19-2012 05:44 AM

What a great space - not to mention the great job you did on organizing it.

coopah 11-19-2012 05:55 AM

Don't you need a FL vacation? You could come organize me? Actually, I'm envious of everything organized and ready to go. Just awesome!!

EmiliasNana 11-19-2012 07:01 AM

Welcome! You did a great job organizing and furnishing your new space. I love working in a clean space where I can find everything. That is what I am doing now..........reorganizing after a rash of sewing projects. Next order of business is to organize my scraps by color and size.

Treasureit 11-19-2012 07:10 AM

That is beautiful...does it look like that all the time? I am jealous...

DonnaC 11-19-2012 07:57 AM

Wow, that room is beyond awesome. I'd love to have that lineup of vintage machines - do they all work?

Do you own ferrets or just sew for them? I've always thought they are totally cool little animals....

champagnebubbles 11-19-2012 07:58 AM

Great to have you with us. Love your sewing room. I don't think mine will ever look that neat though!

Wintersewer 11-20-2012 07:08 AM

What a great room! Nice and neat...just like mine! I love your vintage machines. I just got a Kenmore like yours. I bought it because it is just like my first machine that I bought in 1972.

Carol34446 11-20-2012 12:55 PM

How great space you have. So much easier to work when you have room and can be organized. Let us see when you make a quilt and what else you make for the critters too.
