This is my little piece of heaven. It is still a work in progress. And, yes, it is always this clean. The table my sewing machine is on is very low. I have a horrible problem with neck strain so my wonderful husband cut the legs off to make it lower for me. I made my ironing mat with instructions from this board. It is 30 x 48 inches. It works perfectly for all my projects. I have a cutting table with a bulletin board over it for any ideas I may get while I am in there. The window shade behind my machine I use for photos, they are my inspiration. I have a temporary design wall put up. I have another to take its place, but for now I do not want to remove my granddaughter's name from the wall. After all this used to be her mother's room. There is a closet in the room, but it is mostly used for storage for my grandchildren. Under the ironing and cutting table are totes full of fabric. The next project is to organize that.

I hope you enjoy seeing my sewing room. I know I love it!

That's a very nice room. Doesn't it feel good to have a place where you can go and it's all your own!

Looks like you have a Bernina (440?) i

It is a Bernina 430. It came with the BSR and an embroidery module. The previous owner traded it in after having it for 3 weeks (she had only logged in 3 hours on it). So, I was able to get an incredible deal on it. I was originally going to purchase the 440, but the deal was too great to pass up. And it is a great machine.

What a great room. I can tell you have fun in there. Thanks for posting; I am in the process of prepping my own sewing room. So exciting!

Love the room, and the little helper!

pocoellie 07-26-2010 03:28 AM

Nice room. I wish mine was half as neat and clean. LOL

I can completely understand why it's your heaven. You look like a sweet person. :D

I love your room! Can you tell us how your hubby cut your banquet table down? I use them too and they are so sturdy, just too high.

My husband used a hacksaw and cut them down where they turn down to the floor. I put the pvc pipe on each leg to make sure it was sturdy. It works great. Good luck and if you have any questions please ask! :lol:

Melinda in Tulsa 07-26-2010 08:10 AM

Maggie, thank you so much for this information. I'm going to try it!

AshleyO 07-26-2010 08:54 AM

Awesome sewing room and I LOVE your helper dog :D

no1jan 07-26-2010 08:54 AM

Very nice room. We should all have some place to call our own!

Pineapple Princess 07-26-2010 09:40 AM

What a nice room!

T-Bones mom 07-26-2010 11:30 AM

Your sewing room looks very refreshing. Hopefully mine will be done in a couple more weeks.
I just love your assistant. What a beautiful boxer. Words fail me to tell you how much he loves you and you him. Reminds me of my T-Bone when I ;had him for 9 wonderful years. Enjoy your room and your assistant. Give him a kiss for me.

crafter005 07-26-2010 12:04 PM

Thanks for all the pictures. Gives me inspiration to get my sewing room started. I don't have a four-legged assistant like you do but I have two cats (all black and tabbie) and I just bet they will at least help with the folding of material (yeah!) but I do love their company.

dungeonquilts 07-26-2010 12:11 PM

Nice room......I have a quilt inspector when he comes inside! Right in my way when he is with me. Gotta love them :)

Maggie, you have a terrific room! You also do not look old enough to be a grandmother!

mms61371 07-26-2010 05:13 PM

Thank you so much for all the compliments on my sewing room. And for not looking old enough to be a grandmother. You all know how to make someone feel good.
