    How awesome your hubby is supportive too! Makes for stress free living!
    You would never be sorry if you got a sweet 16. I love mine. Since I was already using to quilting on my sewing machine, the transition was very easy. Learning to use a longarm after all this time would take some time. At this point, I really don't want a longarm.

    Congratulations! I spent 4 yrs sewing with my dress form in the closet and sewed on a 42 inch round kitchen table in our old house. In this house I spent 4 yrs with my dress form in a corner of my daughters room and sewed on our dining room table. All of my fabric was always in bags in a closet. I now have DD's old room as my sewing room. I love it. I for the first time since being a child have a room of my own that no one has any reason to be in without me! My girly space and my space to create!

    Kelly - fabric walls? I've never heard of it but just last night I was thinking about doing something to make walls downstairs. I already have piled up my plastic bins and other furniture holding my stash to help to make walls, but I LOVE your idea!

    If anyone needs me, I'll be back later. I have fabric walls to figure out and put up! Thanks!

    Kelly, you are going to love having a dedicated space for sewing. I used to sew in my diningroom for a long time too, then I took over my eldest daughters room when she moved out and I absolutely love it. Well have lots of fun designing and putting your room together and please post pictures when you are finished...........Leslie

    Hmmmm...we have an unfinished basement so I may need to do some cleaning and rearranging to make myself a space down there. You have given me food for thought with your idea of fabric walls! Right now I am jus set up in a corner of our bedroom.

    A friend of mine did it in her basement 'media room'.. Lol. She hung black curtains and you wouldn't know any different! I figure I may use furniture tacs or I have used a closet rod before.. The cheaper the better.. I think I may look for some cheap but pretty sheets to use instead of buying fabric... Unless I can't resist on some good priced fabric!

    How awesome that you are getting a room for your studio! I don't blame you for not being able to sleep last night. Your head must be spinning with great ideas for how to set it up!

    I am sew happy for you! I've thought of moving to the basement, but since it isn't finished, I've not done it. However, I also have a spare room. Please post pictures when you are finished. I really would like to see what you do.

    My basement walls have been painted yellow, it really lightens up the darkness of the area. My husband also hung a few industrial size fluorescent light fixtures and it makes a big difference. You are going to have soooo much fun setting up your sewing room - be sure to take some pictures, I'd love to see them!!
