    I covered with 2 layers of low loft poly batting and 1 layer of cotton batting, then my fabric. I am not sure how long it will hold up to steam ironing, but it was free and I figured if I got a year or two use out of it, the little work would be worth it.

    Wow - I love your studio - so bright and cheery - looks like a great room just to hang out in. I am sure you will do great things now that you are organized - good luck.

    My long arm is actually in the back portion of my living room. Not
    much to it other than frame, machine and batting. I have to keep everything neat and tidy since all my work spaces are in public areas of my house.

    Your room is beautiful!! I am in the process of moving my sewing room out of the guest room, a small room with a double bed taking up most of the room, and into the formal living room. Like you, I want my creative space to be beautiful as well as functional. In your china cabinet you have boxes and magazine storage that look like you covered yourself with fabric to match your room. Can you explain how you did it, or were you lucky enough to find them ready made? Thanks for sharing!

    I love it! I'm a sucker for white white with colorful accents. And for great deals, free stuff, elbow grease, paint and repurposing.
