I couldn't take it anymore!

Hummingbird - 'after' looks better. There's so much more maneuvering room. When my cutting is up in the middle of my room I barely have room to walk around it. I prefer to cut out everything all at once and then fold down the cutting table but that isn't how it always happens.

Maryq - I'd move your sewing room to the bigger area. You never know. You may not have to sell your house and after two years you'd be thinging 'dang, I should have moved my sewing room when I thought about it'.

Mary I agree....Move now. Before the nephew comes back. LOL Just kidding. You deserve to have all the room you want for your sewing girlfriend.

Looks great. I'm very glad to see someone else with their rulers hanging on the wall. I tend to think of mine as "art."

Nice job Hummingbird. Your room looks so nice. It looks a lot bigger too. I find that when I clean my sewing room and sort through stuff I feel so much better afterward and am ready to start a new project.
Aren't our sewing rooms heaven! I love that I have a room all to myself to have all of my "stuff" just where I want it. For so many years I sewed at the dining room table. I feel blessed! lol

[Hummingbird]

I agree! I love being tucked in my sewing room! I tend to take my laptop with me so I can listen to Christian music or teachings while I sew and stay in touch with everybody on the forums, LOL. Ok, ok, I also take the cordless phone and the cell phone if I'm in the middle of a big project, LOL. Now if I just add a coffee pot and a potty, I'd never have to come out!

The rulers are definitely my art, LOL! If I can't see them, I have to dig for them and that drives me crazy!

Looks much better. You deserve to buy, buy, buy.

Your room looks great. I really need to be doing that to mine, but when I get the money together to do that something happens. This time it was the waste pipe from the house to the street, $8,000. but at least I will be able to use the bathroom, do laundry and dishes.

Much better! Don't you like having your sewing table up against the wall? I don't like it when the quilt is hanging off the table. Amie

[Hummingbird]

Yes, I like it against the wall. The selling point of putting it in the middle of the room was so I could see out the window but it really doesn't make that much difference. I can turn around to do hand work or DH said - just put up a mirror and then you can see out the window, lol.

As far as cost is involved in my sewing room, I have to be honest. My DH is a veteran scrounger, LOL. He made the sewing table for me years ago and it is s-o-l-i-d!! The trunk on the floor was an auction find for a few bucks. The light colored shelving unit was something that a guy at DH's work was going to throw away, the treadle machine was DH's grandmothers, and my sewing chair was a floppy office chair that DH fixed. Even the Bernina was my MIL's and she gave that to me. SO - the only expenses were really the fabric and quilting toys!

Looks good. I have got to find a way to store my "rulers"....and, I want a Design Board. Otherwise, my sewing room is set up ok. I may get an Ott table lite for sewing area. I have a floor lamp that is great. I need a basket or something to put a lot of notions in also.

Your room looks great....
