What one item would make your sewing area better?

[CrazyMtnLady]

Actually what I need is SPACE. I have a very small table that if I put both side flaps up it would be 36". That's my work area. Doesn't make a great surface for trying to make a large quilt. That is one reason I do mostly wall-hangings or child's quilts.

It may not be an item, but I need a larger room. I'm in a really small one right now that is also my computer room.

My sewing room is a combination sewing/computer/craft/gun room. We had to buy a HUGE computer desk because our computer monitor is so big (deep). That takes up one corner and part of the walls. I have 2 computer desk/tables on another wall for my scrapbooking (which I don't do anymore but have so much $$ in I don't know what to do). My sewing machine is on the top of a cabinet that houses my older Singer Touch 'n Sew from the 60s (it is folded down underneath). We have a huge (to my eyes) gun safe for my husband's guns in there as well. The room is PACKED with stuff. So, I guess I would want more space. I would just fill it up, though!!!!

Britt, how are you selling your SB stuff? I keep asking my daughter to help me, but it's falling on deaf ears! Don't get me started about my girls. Anyway, I NEED to finish my heritage album while my mother is still around to give me names, etc. She will be 86 next month. However, I've not touched SBing for at least 3 years!!! ARGH! If I got rid of all that stuff, I'd have so much room for my seven (YIKES) machines.

Someone to come in and clean it up after each project would make my sewing room much better! Why is it that creating something beautiful makes such a mess?! Once I start going through fabric it looks like a whirlwind went through the room.

I have a lovely planned out sewing room. It was built by a local contractor right after we moved into this house. It is wonderful in every way except that with an ever-growing fabric stash, the three closets in the room are bulging, and I've moved into two other closets and a corner of another room for the stash. I need to clean out some of the stuff! I have several sewing stations, because I do costumes for plays, and often have helpers who need a place to sew. Besides, I don't want to get rid of any of my machines, so they each have their own place. If I had a place to put my treadmill somewhere outside the sewing room, that would make me happier, but I do need it in there to remind me to use it once in a while! Other than some lousy carpeting, it is just working very well. I do have a bedroom downstairs that is only used for guests, and it is big enough for me to put two craft tables together to lay out my quilts to make my sandwiches. This is what I use instead of a design wall. But I have a space for a design wall, just haven't taken the steps to create it, even though it wouldn't be hard to do.

Well, I would like more space but what I have is cozy and I have a window that faces the ocean. So nevermind. My space is good for me. Let's see, a cutting table? Naw, I use the kitchen table in the next room.

I know! To win about $500 in a lottery or something and go fabric shopping! That would make my sewing room better. I'm pretty sure of it. That would probably improve ALL of our sewing rooms.

I'm just sayin...

PS: I bet I could spend more than $500 too...

I would love a design wall. My sewing room doubles as an office for our company and spare guest room (although I'm reluctant to share this room with guests unless its almost an emergency). I would love to br able to have an island that's used for cutting and pressing, but not possible in this space. DH keeps telling me what I need is not more space but less stuff!! That's a man for you.....but gotta love him anyway!!
