Thrifty AND Creative!!! Can't beat that!!! Show us your quilts.

Great job! I love to reinvent and repurpose items. Also welcome to the board!

Your sewing room areas is great. Love the machine cover. Happy stitching.

Love your ideas! My DH made my cutting table out of old kitchen cabinets and some plywood. I just dressed it up with paint and fabric and it works beautifully! My sons made a "Big Board" for my ironing board out of some plywood and batting and fabric. You can do alot with just a little, especially with the internet to get directions on how to make anything yourself these days. By the way welcome to the QB from Ohio!

I particularly like your use of the drain pipe to hang your strips! What's that saying? Necessity is the mother of invention...you needed, you invented! Great work!

Great idea............ will get my hubby right on it!! He'll be very thankful to you!! LOL Great job.

What a terrific job ! I love it when people come up with ingenious ideas. As they say "necessity is the mother (or in your case, the father) of invention. Love the tiles.

I also have an old desk with a return (remember those?) It's where we used to put our typewriter. It is the perfect height for the sewing machine - and the main desk is where I have my cutting mat.

You did a great job and we all thank you for your pictures. I just want to tell you to go to a thrift store or Walmart and get yourself a good desk chair that adjust better for your back and body. Chairs are very important ! Thanks again.

As an artist, I have to say, get some homesote, cover it with felt (coupon, Joann's) and put it on the wall in front of the machine. It would make a great design wall, pin up blocks, ideas, fabrics, and be inspiring when working. Makes the basement fade away and make it a true work area.
