I finally have my own sewing room!
I didn't think that would happen until we moved into a bigger house. I used to sew at the kitchen table and hated that because I would constantly have to move all my stuff. Get sewing machine, fabric, patterns, sewing notions, etc out of the closet. Then put it all away at dinner time, even if I wasn't finished. That doesn't inspire one to sew, at least it didn't me. So I set out to find a sewing desk. I found one on craigslist and set it up near the kitchen table. I sewed a lot more now, but still had a mess that overflowed to the kitchen table.
Solution: I took over the toy room!
My boys had so many toys they didn't play with hardly any of them. Instead, it was lets just make a giant mess all over the downstairs.
So we downsized their loot and put all toys back into their room. Not only do we NOT have toys all over the downstairs now, but I have my own sewing space. I couldn't be happier and they like having all their toys in their room. It's a win-win situation.
I have now added a new piece of furniture to hold my fabric stash.
I think my ironing board needs a new cover. |
So what do you think? I would love to see your sewing space and where you create.

ReplyDeleteI would love to have one too but it won't be for a while.
Your sewing machine is one of the top notch that I have been dreaming to get as well. :)
I'm very happy for you..so now you will have your own space to create many more beautiful projects.
How wonderful!!! I don't think I would sew much if I had to move my sewing every time I sewed. Enjoy your new room!

ReplyDeleteOh I love all of your sewing room furniture! Especially that armoire holding your stash. And your sewing machine table for the older machine... <3 Love it all. I bet your kids are psyched! I remember when my brother got his toys in his room. My mom would say "go to bed!" and 5 minutes later you would her him whispering to Thomas and Percy the tank engines. ;)
