Hah! The rulers are on the wall and all the hanging plastic bags with fabric in them hanging from hooks are my WIP's and such. :) I have cats that like to nest in my fabric so I have keep them all under wraps. :)

I have a free bookcase coming over this evening so I think I'm going to buy the hard comic book bakers and use those to wrap my fabric stash and put them in the bookcase. That is if my patience holds out....doing stuff like THAT drives me crazy!

Gorgeous room, I'm jealous. I have a very small sewing room and I needed a cutting table. I found a butcher-block kitchen island at Mennards. The height is perfect, with 2 drawers and 2 open shelves. Also it is on rollers so I can move it if I want a different arrangement.

Wish that I had a basement! Love your set up. Well planned out. I also love the knotty pine paneling. Be sure to keep it original. No covering it with paint. :)

I'm not sure....it's the entire half of our basement. So I am fortunate to have space to streatch out. Also on the other side is my new toy.

Someday I would LOVE to get an Imperial frame. But for now this setup is great for me, and what I could afford....now I'm eatting ramen noodle for a few mohts until all of my quilting bills are paid off....:)

Awesome space!! Caution on that ramen noodle stuff -- use only a little of the "seasoning." It's super high in sodium!

Great job on your sewing room! It's absolutely gorgeous! Very warm and cosy place to work in. I would eat ramen for the rest of my life if I could have a sewing room like yours! :lol:

The green in your room is gorgeous - the colour I have gone. I am sooooooooo envious of the equipment and space you have.

I will be downgrading house soon and that basement will probably be the whole space I will have to live in. OMG what am I going to do with my quilting books, stash and 3 sewing machines and 2 overlockers? Anyone got some sky hooks?
