Sewing room set up.
#22
I am just finishing my laundry/sewing room. It is 10x10. Not large, but I am trying to utilize the space wisely. I have cabinets overhead - filled with fabrics. I bought a table from IKEA - adjustable height, which is perfect for sewing and I also bought a mobile drawer unit from IKEA to fit under the table. Tubs fit nicely under the table in the back and the wasted space on the side of the table was perfect for a low bookcase. Peg board along the wall is perfect for hanging odds and ends. When the room is completed, I will be posting pictures. Good luck!

Where do you store your fabric? Do you have a cutting table?

Instead of setting my sewing machine table against a wall, i set it in the middle of the room and put the chair against the wall. Since the room i use has a center ceiling light, i feel i get better lighting than if my machine is against the wall.

Good storage,lighting and cutting tables are the most important things that need to be considered when you are setting up. I found open shelves that are deep enough to put large plastic storage containers on work well. You can see what is in them. My cutting table is on wheels so I can move it to one side if I need floor space. Also make sure the cutting table is a good height so you don't have to bend while cutting(saves your back).
