Well ladies as promised, I am finally able to show you my new sewing room. It is not 100% finished as the ceiling will have to wait until the new kitchen and bathroom are installed on the first floor. It is ''L'' shaped and measure 23 feet long by 11 feet wide and 17 feet long at the end of the room. I am in the basement (Happy machine needs a solid base) but I have 3 windows and although the pictures appear dark, it is bright enough. I may add another light over my machine but for now I am content.

Pic #1 showing the overview from the end (23feet lenght).

Pic #2 this is my 4 x 8 foot island with a total of 39 cubes where I store all my cottons and pul fabric. I have another stash in my cold room for bulkier fabrics plus a walk in closet in my guest room for more storage.

Pic #3 is where my ''Happy'' has found a home. As you can see, my thread racks are pretty full. All my hoops are hanging at arms reach. Storage trays holding patterns, snaps, zippers etc. placed under my #2 computer table. This computer will be hocked up to my Happy for transmitting my designs (makes it easier to follow my colors). Bias binding machine installed on the small table.

Pic #4 Work table with my machines, Hus. Ruby which I no longer use for embroider but for sewing. Regular sewing machine and my serger. Computer station on the end where I work most of the time.

Pic #5 Other side of cutting table, (wanted to show you some of my pretty fabrics lol)

Pic #6 Cutting table which I have divided into 4 work stations, cutting, hooping, work in progress and embroidered work ready to be cleaned up and sewn.

Pic #7 Wanted to show you that each station has it's own tool rack, scissors, tweezers, rotary cutter etc. My health limits my ability to move a lot so I limit that as much as I can. My cutting tools are centered as well for easy access.

Pic # 8 My machines also have their own tools, scissors and tweezers and notice the black mats under each machine. I purchased these at the dollar store and they serve as pin cushions as well as absorbs the vibration of the machines.

So here you have it. I know I am BLESSED and could not ask for anything more. I will however have some shelving units installed on the left wall and have asked for a wall mounted iron board for Mother's day. Then a little decoration here and there and I may never come out of the basement lol.
I waited a long time for my new room and along with everything else in our new home, this is paradise for me. Working in this environment is so freeing, easy for me to create and continue to do what I love so much.

Thanks for taking the tour,
hugs to all
Michelle
