Thought I should take a picture of my sewing space all nice and clean. When I bring in everything, it won't look like this anymore!!!

My sewing table my DH built in for me.

Very nice! I'd like to see it after you add all of your new lovelies.

Beautiful room, nice stash. So neat and tidy. Now be sure and post one with all the new things...LOL
What kind of machine do you have, sure looks neat...

np3 05-30-2011 12:13 PM

The one showing is a Pfaff expression. I love it. I took a Viking to the retreat. Like it too but I hate putting on the walking foot. I also have two sergers, a Janome and two older Singers. I love old machines but really don't have a place to display them all the time.

Very Nice!

Quilter7x 05-30-2011 12:14 PM

OOOOh, I hope you post an "after" picture! :lol:

Looks like a wonderful desk your HD built, very nice. And your closet is so organized.

Mariposa 05-30-2011 12:16 PM

Lovely room! :)

fayza 05-30-2011 12:17 PM

very nice area :)

lynnsim 05-30-2011 12:17 PM

I love your sewing room. Wish mine was as clean, lol.

np3 05-30-2011 12:18 PM

My empty shelf is no longer empty! And there are some piles in front of the original stacks. DH is just shaking his head.

judy_68 05-30-2011 12:19 PM

Nice and neat.

np3 05-30-2011 12:20 PM

It was neat when I got home! Now, not so much!!!

calla 05-30-2011 12:52 PM

Tidy............and after your road trip? calla.........hee heee Oh baby............it was a long road trip right?

dellareya 05-30-2011 12:55 PM

Your sewing room is beautiful. I'm sure it gives you great pleasure to work in there.

cjomomma 05-30-2011 12:57 PM

I love how organized everything is. I've tried to keep mine neat and organized but it only lasts about 5 seconds. LOL!!
Now when do we get to see the after pictures?

np3 05-30-2011 01:22 PM

Still don't have everything in the shelves yet. Discovered that I bought fabric that I already had in my stash. Guess I must really love it!

I also found some things that I am sure I won't use now. So I'll start my pile for my next sell. I'm listing some things on eBay this week anyway for Debbie. Might as well get it all on there!!!

lots2do 05-30-2011 03:20 PM

Love your room and your storage in the closet. Can you give me some info on the shelves you used? Are they pretty strong? I'd like to add some to one of my closets. Thanks in advance.

np3 05-30-2011 03:23 PM

They are just the wire shelves that you can buy for closets. My DH installed them for me. They are adjustable so I can change them as my needs change. They hold a lot of weight!!!

max's grandma 05-30-2011 03:30 PM

Do you do all your piecing with your pfaff expression, or do you have other maachine for that, would like a expression but was wondering if everything is done on one.

np3 05-30-2011 03:34 PM

I use my Pfaff expression for everything, including my FMQ. It is wonderful. It does some great decorative stitches too. I don't like to travel with it because I worry that it might get damaged so I travel with my Viking. But my Pfaff is my favorite.

kacy 49 05-30-2011 04:58 PM

Great sewing room. Love your sewing table your hubby made. Great storage closet.

Grandma Peg 05-30-2011 05:28 PM

Your room looks great, wish mine did. Think there are people who use my room while working and they certainly don't clean after they are done. lol

ksea 05-30-2011 05:28 PM

Nancy you have a wonderful sewing room, I bet all the nooks and empty spaces are filled after your adventure to Texas. I would love to see your ebay sales (Debbies too) can you tell me how to find you on ebay?

wolph33 05-30-2011 05:30 PM

very nice-but too tidy

grannyp70 05-30-2011 05:46 PM

Hi np3, I love your sewing room, especially your table that your dh made for you, looks like you have got a lot of room. I am glad that you all had a great time at the retreat, sorry that I wasn't able to get by and meet you all. But am still confinded to bed pretty much of the time. My back is still giving me a lot of trouble, hopefully it will get better soon, Glad that you all had a safe trip home.

QuiltnNan 05-30-2011 05:59 PM

very nicely organized.

alikat110 05-30-2011 06:05 PM

Sorry to hear that. Would have loved to meet you in person. Maybe next time!

I have to go look at my sign on! I think it is np3np3np3. Sounds original doesn't it? Anyway, I don't have a fancy store or anything like that. I sell fabric, Cookie Lee Jewelry and Creative Memories that I am finished with. I do a lot of scrapbooking as well as quilting. It is a great way to sell scraps or things I buy too much of.

Since the new rules went into place, I have been more selective about what I sell on the QB and what I sell on eBay. In this case, I am trying to get as much as possible for Debbie with the sales I listed tonight. That isn't practical right now on the QB. She overbought for prizes for the games and had some things that she didn't need in her room but were worth too much to just give away. So we traded some and I took some home to sell for her. I usually start my prices at 99 cents, but not this time!!!

Cute room and nice table, cant believe it would be messy when you bring your new stuff in!

J Carol 05-31-2011 03:35 AM

What a nice sewing room. My wrap around counter in my sewing room has the same trim on it ~ great looking and nice finish to a wonderful room.
