    Cool I am getting a 'Woman Cave" ..a.k.a / new sewing space!!

    I have a small house. A few years ago we moved the living room into the unfinished basement. Then we set the old living room up as the dining room.

    That was fun, inviting family over and using it a lot.

    But then it slowly became my sewing area. Now I have all of my sewing stuff in the dining room, and I am spending more and more time in there. It is no longer the dining room.

    Hubby suggested, "Why don't we move the living room back up here and make the downstairs your sewing studio?"

    YA SURE!!!! LET'S DO IT!!

    That way we have a place to congregate, in the living room again, and I have a larger space dedicated to my sewing and quilting!

    He even handed over his Grandfather's old work bench that he was planning on making a bar. He said you would make better use of it with all of your equipment and tools.

    So this Friday, we are moving things around! Starting Friday afternoon. I could barely sleep last night. I was thinking about moving things around.. Making storage on one side, and my studio on the other side. I call it studio, because we just bought a new machine with embroidery features. My husband works in the graphic design world and looking ahead.. He has so many ideas and plans to put them into fruition. This is turning into 'our' studio, but I love that.

    Before he gets his design ideas into, I plan on putting curtains and a few fabric walls up ( since they are cheaper than building walls) in my favorite colors.

    Wahooooooooooooo!

    Oh, have so much fun! You can dream all week and move like crazy over the weekend! You will be so neat, organized, and ready to sew/quilt when you get it all put in one place! Enjoy the planning, the implementation, and even the work to get your perfect studio. I love that you plan to make it a shared one, too!

    Sounds like you have a very supportive husband. I am blessed with one also. My sewing room is only about 10x10, so with all my equipment including my sweet 16, it is pretty much wall to wall with very little space to walk. My dear husband is trying to figure out a way for me to have a bigger area so I can get a longarm. I told him I am satisfied with my S16 but he wants me to have the best. How did I get so lucky?

    Hope to see pictures of your new area when you get it set up.

    Hubby keeps talking long arm.. But I am not ready for that yet. I think my next step is that S16! But not yet !

    How awesome your hubby is supportive too! Makes for stress free living!

    Wonderful idea.... it's great when our guys think enough to want to share the space and understand our passion for crafting and handwork... We have constantly "moved" rooms to accomadate our hobbies over our 45yrs of marriage..it's a riot! Moved to retirement home 10 yrs back and moved the rooms 3 times until it's just right!

    How awesome!! Enjoy your new space!

    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.

    I don't have a "spare room" so I have to make use of our dinning room. Its a got a good sized table and lots of natural light coming through we just can't use the table for eating from as its normally got something fabric wise on there but my DH doesn't mind at all.
    I had thought of moving out into the garage, but then I remembered how cold and dark it would be in our long winters, so I'm staying in the dinning room.
    Hope you have fun arranging your new studio.
