Love the cabinet. I sew in a dedicated room that my family now calls the black hole - I go in and lose all track of time. I can sure see that with a young one around it's better to be where the action is. Besides - they do grow too quickly.

I would love to have a sewing room, but DGD lives with me so it won't be happening. But I would miss the times she sits at her little table and I sit at my sewing machine cabinet and we sew together. My own sewing room will come someday, but I wouldn't miss these times for anything. For now just keep sewing downstairs and know you can use that room later.

I completely understand! I have an 11 x 15 room and rather sew in living room. It's great to have all my stuff in the s. room though. nice room when/if you ever change your mind, but we quilters get choices, right?
We make them, and take them :wink:

I have a brilliant space, set up as a sewing room and I do lose myself in there, getting a surprise when hubby gets home from work and I think it's only lunchtime!
I do keep my treadles in the living area though, and use them there. Besides, they look pretty enough to keep there even when not being used.

I can understand. I have an extra bedroom that I could turn into a sewing room but I prefer the dining room....it's just off the living area and kitchen and I like to sew while meals are cooking. My dog keeps me company there....he won't go in the bedroom.
