    Default Who encouraged me to take a spare bedroom as a sewing room?

    If you did, please come and help me! My old sewing room (small as a walk-in closet) is a mess of pins and errant pieces of thread, the kitchen is full of fabric waiting for a spot in the new sewing room and my new sewing room is a jumble of fabric, patterns, batting, fabric, books, kits, notions and yes, even more fabric! What a mess! It will take me weeks to get it sorted out. But I love it, even the way it is now. Thank you for your encouragement to take the plunge!

    Congrats on moving to a bigger space! It is true, that moving into a bigger/different space can be a little crazy for awhile, but you will be happy when it is all set up. I have a spare room as my sewing room and I found that it took a few times of rearranging before I got it to where I really love it. It's not totally done yet...still have some fabrics to sort and odds and ends to finish, but now that the biggest cleanup is complete, I work on the other things a little at a time. It's all falling into place and it will for you too!
    Good Luck and show us some pics when it's ready.

    I use a spare bedroom sewing room having moved it from the attic, I now have an over-flowing bedroom and a still over-flowing attic, oops!

    Wish I lived closer. You should take some before, during and after pictures of the progress! It will all come together and you will love it! Have fun with it. Congrats on the new sewing room!

    I love to deep clean and organize, so I would so be there if you were a bit closer! This sounds heavenly to me....but then again....I am so weird! Can't wait to see your new space!

    Should have said something last week when DH and I were in the area-or close to it. DH is great at organizing and arranging things in a useful and convenient way.

    Wish I were closer too. It is so much fun to put something together and organize it.

    Sounds like you are having fun.....even if it is a big mess right now....

    I've decided to redo my quilting room..... That means dismantling everything, getting it ALL out..... Then painting, and trying to make it a better, more useful and attractive space.... My dear husband designed this room for me fourteen years ago.....in another house. I liked it so well, that he just redid it in the new house.... I still love it, but feel the need for a change....

    Not looking forward to the mess....

    After having my Li'l Sis here last weekend, pulling things out of closets and opening storage bins, I can happily say that I am so glad she did that - I've totally rearranged my sewing room (just finished the MAJOR sorting this morning) and am now functional again - or as functional as I can be without my main machine. It's a GOOD feeling.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
