I finally did some re arranging today. I move some stuff out of the extra bedroom and moved my sewing stuff in. I think I will be much more comfortable than when I had to lug things from this room to the dining room.

I also went to see my aunt yesterday. Talk about my lucky day! She gave me a ton of fabric - all togehter at least 30 yards, books, and the best a serger! One of the older heavy duty metal ones. I was suprised when the foot pedal was not plastic!! She is very crafty and although she has 10 kids of her own, none are into sewing at all. I totally lucked out with the hobby!

Here are pictures of my new room - sorry no before pictures - but it was more of an office before, and the things my aunt gave me yesterday.

I love lighting - so some are taken without flash. I also collect elephants so those are what the little lamps on the desk are.

YEA!!! YEA!!!!YEA!!! What a haul !!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Rm looks good

Lucky you!
Room looks good, lots of room

Looking good! Ready, set, SEW!!!

You did a great job on arranging your sewing room, it's very nice :D:D:D

Wow what a great sewing room

Your room looks great and the things your aunt sent home with you are fantastic. Have fun!

Great space! Not only do you have a window (I suffer from window envy), you have a place to take a nap when you get carried away on a sewing bing!

Everything looks so nice!! I was surprised how well a computer desk works for a sewing desk. Good thinking on that one! But, if I can give a little sadvice???? Best if you put a little curtain over your fabric bookcase so the sun and light from the window doesn"t cause fading. The quilt I made for my hubby's bed , off to the side of a window that got afternoon sun, faded out on just the top corner near the window. So don't take the chance!!

Congratulations on having your own space. It looks wonderful. I find my guest bed as a great place to begin placing blocks. Enjoy!

It's so organized! And a whole room for sewing stuff. I am planning on doing the same idea as soon as school is out. I am going to rearrange my office into a real for sure enough sewing room.
Congratulations!!

It looks great.... now mess it up with all your projects.. LOL

Yes, it is okay to mess up your sewing room.

I love your wall hangings :mrgreen: The room looks perfect :thumbup: A place for everything :lol:

I would be so excited with such a clean room I wouldn't want to leave it ever. Re: the fabric cabinet, I used a cheapo tension rod and a light weight fabric to make curtains for my fabric bins. When you want to look just remove the curtain entirely or throw curtain to side while you are using it. Works great?

Beatiful room and fabric and I love the Serger, I would go and get me a piece of plywood and that way you could lay in on the bed to put your cutting matt on it , thats what I do, and it works fine for me as a cutting out area.
Happy sewing

Great room, but it's too clean!!!!!!!!!! Mine never looks so neat, even after I clean it up!

Looks really good. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice and roomy. Enjoy.

Good advice on the curtin over the fabric. I have read that - but didn't think of it.

Thanks!!!!

Very nice, but that room is way too clean, get in there and mess it up a little!

Great job :thumbup: Thanks for sharing :D

Wonderful sewing room - makes ME want to come over and sew. I like the pictures with the flash going off...you can see things.

Wonderful room :thumbup: Wonderful Aunt :thumbup:

Great job! Doesn't it feel good to have everything organized! Let the fun begin. You did a great job. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Oh my goodness.....you have the exact Toyota serger that I bought off Craigs List on Sunday. You're right....it is an old workhorse with metal parts....and that's what I liked about it. Is yours in working order? Did your Aunt show you how to use it? I'm working completely blind here and even though I'm looking at the "quick threading" guide, haven't quite figured it out. And apparently nothing works if you don't get the threading right! Any advice?

I have that serger too! Bought the floor model in 1992 and absolutely love it. I've only had to have it worked on one time, when I hit a pin and it threw the timing off. Other than that, it's been a dream. Everytime I use it I'm fascinated again at how it works. They are so neat.

WooHoo!! now the fun can really begin! Have you thought of building a sturdy cutting table a little shorter than the length of the bed and a little wider, so the cutting table legs do not interfere with any part of the bed and headboard?

What a great room. You sure got a lot of fabric from your aunt. I love the serger. It was a great day for you. Thanks for sharing your room with us.

Your room looks neat and tidy... better get sewing :)

awesome

its so nice to have a space :)

very sharp!

ahhh what a nice Aunty, I have alot of those fabrics she gave you and you did a great job in the sewing rm...all neat & tidy...ok time to mess it up w/ a project...
he he...hey thats what everyone told me when I showed pics of my new & improved sewing rm...just passin along the advise..lol have fun in there, looks very relaxing.

very nice.. i have a window that looks out at a neighbors house.. i put a birdbath out there and now it gives me something peaceful to look at, especially when the birds come to play !

You did a great job.

Great looking room,fabrics and serger. Good for you.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Looks great. From Ikea, I bought a piece of furniture with 6 cuby holes across and 5 down and put all my fabric in it, each one with differnt types of fabric, linen, wool, cotton, ect. it works great and was not that expensive. But I like the idea of hanging a rod with cotton sheets or curtains across the froot to save on dust and shading from the sun. thanks for that. your room looks nice!
