What one item would make your sewing area better?

Nana B I am going to list some of it on craigslist, some on camplesyardsale (local craigslist type site) and at my yard sale this spring.

I have wood floors and if I set my machine up on my folding table it vibrates so much I can't sew.

I need... well not much really, I have all I need to get by.

I want.... that's a whole different story!!!

I have everything I need except an embroidery machine.... My room would look so much prettier with new flooring and a paint job, too!

I have 2 items:

1) a table to drop my sewing machine into for a flat sewing surface for FMQ.
2) more fabric - my stash is pitiful.

If I got rid of all that stuff, I'd have so much room for my seven (YIKES) machines.

I don't know anything about selling on ebay-but I do love to buy from it! I got a huge box of slightly used quilting supplies-cutting mats, rotary cutter, several rulers, pins, and a few do-dads I have *no* idea what they even are.

Ebay is a good way to get your stuff seen by many mnay many people.

the ONE item that would make my sewing area better is a small portable ironing surface.

I LOVE my table, it does have the acrylic insert so it all sits flush, and I can hide my machine in it and cover the hole to make a cutting table. My serger sits next to the machine so I just turn in my seat to go between the 2 machines- my serger is my workhorse-I use it more than my regular machine. Well not for quilts, but I am new to quilting.

A closet would be nice-my room is a bonus room and just has some wire shelves. And piles and piles and piles and piles and bins and piles on bins of fabric.

I would love to have a larger sewing room but since that is not going to happen maybe a design wall where I could lay out larger quilts.

I need a higher cutting table, I'm tall and bending over a regular height table hurts my back. I have a folding table that I'm going get out of storage and raise up to a better height by putting pieces of PVC pipe on ends of the legs. I want a table to set my sewing machine into.

I would like to heat the basement and turn the whole thing into a sewing area - maybe in time since DH is thinking about taking the garage door off and sealing up the basement. Of course by that time that it actually happens, I would need him to install one of those automatic chair lifts to carry me up and down the stairs to get there - haha.
I do seem to have everything I need right now, time, I guess I would have to add. Time to do nothing but sew.

Hugs,
