Pictures of loved ones, artwork children made, beautiful fabric, quiet if I want or do lots of music, and my lighting and of course Bernina. Oh and forgot my large design wall, in basement so clean when I want to as well, cool in summer, and I am def in that age group of always warm, haha.

My sewing space is special because it is set up the way i want it and no one else needs to go in there (unless invited) Just having a "me space" gives me peace of mind that my projects will sit and wait for me untouched.

What makes my room special? I designed it for ME! I told my construction guy what I wanted and he did it. I have 3/4 of the basement. I have loads of closets so I can put everything away and not have to look at it. I have a large (60"x80") padded ironing table and a 40"x60" cutting table. I don't like things stored out in the open so I have file drawers for all my sewing notions. It still gets cluttered, but at least I have a space for everything.

My sewing room is my creative room. Used to be my sons bedroom until he married. It's all about sewing, my room, my stuff, although there is only me and my DH in the house.
When I go into my sewing room, all I think about is sewing/quilting. My quiet room to concentrate on quilts.
No TV, no radio, no food or drink, just me, the quilt I am working on, and my Bernina.
I quilt during the day when DH is at work. So the house is quiet, no background noise.

He took me shopping before that to see if we could find a nice desk to turn into a sewing table. I didn't want to spend several hundred to a couple of thousand dollars so he is going to buy and cut plexiglass to fit the top of my current table and fit it to the edges of my sewing machine. He is going to make a larger ironing board so I can iron full yards of fabric without having to do half and then turn it around to iron the other half. He comes in to help me with design and sews my fabric before I prewash it. My DH makes my sewing room special for me. :)

Because it is all mine, and when I'm in there I'm surrounded by all the things I love! My fabric, my grandmother's sewing machine in the cabinet my grandfather built, my project cases full of UFOs, my quilt tops, a comfy chair for my daughter when she drops in, my tv and movies to play while I sew, a radio if I want music, my chair on wheels so I can wheel from sewing machine to cutting table.... oh, I love it so much, why am I here instead of in there sewing???!!!

I have room built just for me. My favorite features are one long wall just for my hand quilting frame. The opposite wall has built in shelving running it's length. I ran track lighting so there is lots of light and I can add more as necessary. The room also allows for multiple workstations so I can have two more people crafting with me with out being crowded. Special touches include a candle and pictures of my kids.
