sewing room - pretty much done

I need to buy a few more white shelves, make curtains for around the white table. I would love to do something with that mulitcolor self/boxes. I have the way it looks but its great for holding cut pieces. Need to buy a curtain rod to hold up my template, cutting mats and the buckets. I bought the wrong size from Ikea. I don't feel like ordering another one. I think I can find one at the store.

I'm trying--unsuccessfully--not to be jealous. Beautiful work space!

It looks so inviting and comfortable. You're going to love having your own special place to play.

sak658 07-12-2013 04:27 PM

Beautiful space...enjoy every minute of it...I love everything you have on the walls and shelves..and everything in the room...

mighty 07-12-2013 05:24 PM

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Micki922 07-12-2013 06:58 PM

It looks great!

carolaug 07-13-2013 02:28 AM

One of my big issues is the lighting. I need to figure out what to do about that. I also hate the plastic colored bins. The one on wheels...they are cheap and ugly but it does hold the cut pieces and makes it easy to get at. My husband says it does not go with the room and I should get rid of it. hmm...need to think of a solution. I love the curtain rods! When I am making a quilt I can put up a flannel piece. I have clip on rings. I have to find out what I did with the other package I bought a while back.

Fantastic room.

Moonglow 07-13-2013 04:14 AM

Fabulous room - it looks so cosy and inviting. I don't think I would ever want to leave. LOL

QltrSue 07-13-2013 04:30 AM

What a charming and inviting work space. My favorite is the comfy chair to sit and quilt or have a friend join you in your room to visit and quilt! Or maybe the design wall on the curtain rod idea. Or maybe the sewing machine and table set-up. Hmmm...lots of favorites! Thanks for sharing and the inspiration.

Can you cover plastic bins with material?

owlvamp 07-13-2013 05:36 AM

Beautiful work space. You will enjoy it.

carolaug 07-13-2013 06:11 AM

That is a great idea. I could modge podge it. Its worth a try.

I love your room! It's o homey and inviting!

carolaug 07-13-2013 06:48 AM

the chair is a massage chair. I would never buy one that is so low..its was a gift. It is a nice to have but odd that it sits so low to the floor.

Ellen 07-13-2013 07:07 AM

Carol, is that a Second Class Crow in the picture frame on the treadle machine? Love your room... sigh. Someday!!!!!!

tessagin 07-13-2013 07:35 AM

Love your room but don't think your table needs curtains but again that's your room. Just something else to take care of and have to launder and then you have to shove the curtains out of the way. Sorry!

Love your "L-shaped" table. I covered my table with self stick Velcro on the board, and sew-on Velcro on the fabric. Also made an opening in ea. side that overlaps so I have easier access or can remove a section if need be. Good luck! The curtain hides a lot of clutter. Your sewing space looks great. Enjoy![ATTACH=CONFIG]423705[/ATTACH]

Love both of your spaces! As far as the rolling cart with the pullout drawers maybe you could make a cover for it too. Let's see if I can explain it simply. Make it a three sided slip cover that covers the back, both sides and the top. Then have a long flap in the front that extends from the top piece. When you don't want to use the drawers, pull down the flap that covers the front of all of those drawers. You could even put a cute little bow on each side to tie or make a little velcroed flap on each side to keep it shut. When you want to use it, flip up the flap and you can pull out any drawer. You could use some sewing themed fabric and even make the cover to match your skirt for your table. Hope this is clearer than mud!

nygal 07-13-2013 09:04 AM

It looks great. I especially love the old sewing machine cabinet.

carolaug 07-13-2013 09:49 AM

That is a super idea!

They have paint for plastic at WM and you could get a few cans and spray the drawers whatever color they have that you want for $10.

wolph33 07-13-2013 12:45 PM

Room looks very nice. Have fun in it

nunnyJo 07-13-2013 03:39 PM

love your room but too clean to be a sewing room, let's meet and mess it up, hehe

mimi=17 07-13-2013 05:32 PM

Great room.

AuntieD 07-13-2013 06:38 PM

I love it!!! Yea for you!!!

Oksewnsew 07-13-2013 06:46 PM

Yes, that is just what I was going to post, but decided to read all the posts.lolo Yes you can mod podge over plastic. Take fabric you like and just do the front of the drawers. Will change the look of it greatly.. have fun..;o)

bluteddi 07-13-2013 07:37 PM

awesome job!! I'm positive MY sewing room was never this clean and organized the day I moved in even!!!
I"m so disorganized..... sigh....

CindyA 07-13-2013 10:31 PM

Very nice and cozy. Enjoy your time in it.

Nathan's Mimi 07-14-2013 02:33 AM

there is paint for plastic on the market now.You could buy the color you'd like the multi colored drawers to be and spray them all one color to conform to the room's decor.(?) Just a thought......

IrishgalfromNJ 07-14-2013 03:49 AM

What a pretty room. Enjoy.

sulyle 07-14-2013 05:32 AM

That is so pretty. I love the shelves.

You have worked hard and it shows! You have made a beautiful and functional room!

I tried my hand at modge podge. I finished the spice rack which is now a button holder and started modge podging the plastic rack. I would not recommend buying one of those...I would spend the money on something better - one of my biggest buying expenses. [ATTACH=CONFIG]423961[/ATTACH]

mrsponcho1 07-14-2013 04:01 PM

Love your room! I have a Horizon 7700 and wondering about the table you have yours sitting on. Care to share the brand...also is the insert the one that came with the machine or did you have a custom one made. Thanks in advance for any info you share....
