Default Sewing room

An 8 x 10 room. Not big, but it works. Has room for my modified ironing board, a wall of shelving and a 4 ft table for a work area. I'm thinking about a 6' table, so I can have both machines out at the same time. Fabric is stored in bins on the shelves. Not to shabby for a $0 budget. Since this pic, I have removed the computer, so there's room for the bigger table. (Apologies for the messy room.)

Very nice area! I would not take a picture of my sewing room right now as I am ironing, sorting and cutting scraps.

Cozy is nice! Less room to mess up. I have trouble keeping flat surfaces clear!

Try as I might, my spaces are a mess but it is an organized one. lol I have a room in my basement where my fabric collection is stored. This is where I cut out and do prep work. I have an ironing board and iron here as well. I didn't like sewing in that room and while I live alone, I still felt isolated. There is good light there but I couldn't hear the doorbell so I sew on my first floor. It actually keeps the lint and string mess down and it is forced exercise because I have to go downstairs when I need to cut anything. I do have an iron and ironing board in both rooms and could cut small things on my kitchen island if I decide not to run downstairs. Living alone I can sew all over the house if I decide to do that. So, instead of a sewing room I have a sewing house...works for me.

A small space forces me to be neater and organized. At least that’s how my mind works !

Nothing wrong with small and compact rooms. Great that you made a zero budget work for you. I love the L shape work space and use one too. Small rooms can make storage a challenge so it really helps to be organized. One option is to think "up". I love the sewing rooms with the cabinets on the wall for storage.

My room is 10x12 so rather small too. I installed 3 rows of shelves over the work table. There are 3 different work tables, a 72x24 cutting table and a lateral file cabinet for home office files.

There are also behind the door organizers that hang on the door. These take little space but with added hooks can store rulers and other flat items.

Enjoy your space!

I have had my 2 main machines on a big corner computer desk for years. I love rolling my chair to the other machine when I am working. I used to keep a serger and embroidery machine on the corner desk. Now it is my Juki and my embroidery machine.

Thank you for sharing your sewing room with us. I will be moving this summer and my current room is14' x 20'. My new one will be about the same size as yours so I am especially interested in seeing how you placed things and reading the comments from others about theirs and how fabric, etc., is being stored. I am definitely going to have to downsize and do some stash busting!
