Sewing room complete with all the new covers
 
5 Attachment(s)
I had a lot of requests to see my sewing room with all the new covers I'd made.

My Bernina 740 is on the far right, next to the wallhanging. Next machine over is my Benin 430 with the embroidery module. To the far left is my Bernina 630. The room is 12 x 9 feet. The 12 foot wall is one continuous cabinet/counter spaced 38 inches deep, with both cabinets having a quilting extension.

On the adjoining 9 foot wall, I have bookshelves running the length, and my two free arm Singer Featherweights are up there with my books.

Below is my Bernina serger, my Babylock coverstitch machine, and to the very far left is my vintage Bernina 830 record.

I use every available inch of this room!

In the adjoining bedroom, I have it set up as my office/cutting room area. Not much to look at, but it works :)

Very nicely done. I really like the pull out drawer that is on the left side at your sewing machine. That is such good support for a quilt while quilting.

that is so nicely done

cj i love this room & i love the organization. as for "not much to look at" i think you err on side of politeness :)). my last sewing. room was small also, a 9 x 11' room w large walk in closet in 1870‘s farm house. thirteen inch deep shelves floor to cieling on three walls for clothing & quilt fabric, books etc, 3x8' cutting table in center of floor & design wall on end of wall of room. large walk-in closet was overflow storage of batts, yarn etc. i joked with friends that it was my weight control room. if i gained any weight i wouldn't fit! not much to look at but heaven to me & it worked perfectly for the years i lived there. will you post your video on your web page w link?

Beautiful! Clean, organized - perfect!!

You've really utilized your space well, and coordinated covers to the quilt on the wall to boot! It's really a wonderful space. Love the quilt on the wall as well as the one in your avatar.

​I love it!

Jo M 08-30-2015 03:26 PM

Fabulous work (play) space!

Michellesews 08-30-2015 05:06 PM

I love all your covers...and I see your bionic gear bag there!

cjtinkle 08-31-2015 02:35 AM

Thank you ladies. I fought with this room for quite some time... we've been in this house for 7 years now, but I'm finally happy with the space and it works for me :)

Sew Freak 08-31-2015 03:17 AM

wow....wow....wow!!!!

pahega 08-31-2015 03:52 AM

I love your room, all of your tools, and machines! Also love the colors and designs of your different machine covers. What fabric line are they?

Thanks everyone :) The red fabric is a Moda Grunge. The floral fabric is a decor weight linen from Hobby Lobby, which unfortunately they no longer carry. I have enough to do a few more things, but I wish I'd gotten more of it.

I wish ​ had that kind of room!

Wanabee Quiltin 08-31-2015 06:28 AM

Lovely sewing room.

Latrinka 08-31-2015 07:53 AM

So very neat and organized! Love all your matching covers and wall quilt! Now get in there and make a mess! LOL!

annette1952 08-31-2015 08:50 AM

Love it! Very nice & handy. My sewing room is so small 9'x9' that I can't do too much in there. I sew in there & store all my stash on wall shelves. I cut on my kitchen island. I have my mid arm that I quilt on in the breezeway. Just scattered all over! lol Wish I had one big room for everything but I don't & I'm happy!

nwm50 08-31-2015 09:50 AM

Love the set ups! I see you use metal holder for peg board which I need to do as my wooden dowels don't quite hold rulers, etc safely in place.

Material Witness 08-31-2015 11:30 AM

Wait a minute, I see one pic where there is no sewing machine in view... That needs to BE FIXED!. You need just one more machine for eye candy. Or two...

NanaCsews2 08-31-2015 11:39 AM

This is very neatly and nicely done. If I didn't have my moms old table to sew on, I would want individual stations for each of my machines. Love this concept.

IBQUILTIN 08-31-2015 02:43 PM

OMG such tidiness. My sewing room never ever looks so neat. I am getting ready to move and trying to get ideas in my head about setting up when I get there. I hadn't really thought of covers, but yours look so nice, I may give that a go. I will be building a shop that will serve as an equipment barn and teaching studio, so keep all the wonderful ideas coming. I need all the help I can get.

thimblebug6000 08-31-2015 04:08 PM

Thank you for taking the time to repost with just pictures... your room is wonderful as are all your projects!

Thanks everyone!

I keep my machines covered because the plastic housing yellows over time when left exposed, and gets quite unsightly. Plus, the dust is hard on electronics. So if I'm going to cover them, I figured I might as well make them pretty :)

Fantastic organization.

psychonurse 09-01-2015 12:03 PM

ITS beautiful. so organized and colorful. You have done a wonderful job. congrats

rilene 09-01-2015 03:23 PM

I love it - so organized and neat! And the quilt on the wall is beautiful!

redquilter 09-01-2015 04:08 PM

You certainly have utilized every inch in that room and it looks wonderful. So organized and efficient.

ccthomas 09-01-2015 06:02 PM

Looking at your beautiful and organized sewing room, I wonder if there is any hope for me to become an organized person. My parents were organized. I don't know what happened to me.

Thanks for sharing your sewing room. I have bookmarked your sewing room.

zozee 09-01-2015 06:34 PM

Wow, you are "set" for a great play time! Your covers are so pretty.

appleblossom 09-02-2015 11:18 AM

Nice! Wish I could get and keep mine that organized! Beautiful room so happy for you!

117becca 11-26-2015 10:47 AM

love the detailed color wheel hanging on the door. we so often forget that!

SusanSusan33 12-02-2015 08:16 AM

What a beautiful room- I'm drooling here!!

I read your response to the fabric line, but what pattern did you use for your sewing machine covers? I love all the details/ ruffles/ect.

I sew in the corner of my dining room (well, great room:) ) and need to make something pretty to cover my machine.

mopec 12-03-2015 07:34 AM

Can you explain your pull out drawer? Does the top fold down when drawer is pushed in? I like the idea. Phyllis

caspharm 12-03-2015 02:40 PM

Nice room. I wish mine was that well organized.
