My Fabric Stash and Sewing Room
I have been out of the loop for a while as I decided I would get organized and iron my fabric stash! What was I thinking???!!! Except for my solids, it is all done! :) (And those solids won't get done until the urge strikes me!!!) This is my sewing room. Had to take a pic of it while it lasted because u only have to give me 10 minutes to destroy it again! And yes, I have now started on another quilt. Room is not completely destroyed but give me time! hee hee
Thanks for having a look!

There was a thread about sewing rooms in Community a couple of years ago, ranging from mere cupboards to spacious rooms, but nothing came close to the size of yours. Congratulations on having such a nice place to create.

I am so jealous! Your room is wonderful and I love all your quilts. the sunbonnet one has been on my to do list way too long and I like the blues and burgundy that you used.

Love your sewing, cutting and ironing stations. Love your rotation thread stand next to your machine. Where do you store all your thread? In drawers? Good collection of fabrics. I have sewer's envy. LOL
1 comment
That rotation stand that u r referring to was made by a friend while we were living in Saudi - where u have to come up with creative ideas. The bottom is a turntable from Ikea, the middle layer I believe also came from Ikea and the top….no idea. Then drilling was done and doweling inserted and waalaa…an awesome embroidery wedding cake! If u look at the pic of the wall unit with the doors open, u will see about 16 containers (some white, some clear). That is all my embroidery thread.

Wowie!!!!you must feel like you are in quilting heaven, I know I would with such a beautiful room like your's...........Was wondering who built it for you, maybe a hubby? It is just to marvelous for words....

Actually, we bought the house and this bedroom was downstairs. We have a walk-out basement so it doesn't even feel like a basement. (My sewing room is the only room in the basement that has a little window!) We saw the shelves on sale at Home Depot so we bought 2 as they fit perfectly in the closet. (If we buy 2 more on wheels, they will also fit in front of the ones that are there.) Then bought some cheap sticky tiles to put on the shelves so that my fabric wouldn't have the wire ridges in them. Other than that, it is just furniture that we have had around and re-purposed. Well except for my sewing table and cutting table - that was compliments of my wonderful hubby!
My hubby also added 2 more florescent lights for me. One to replace a bare bulb in my fabric closet and the other above my cutting table! Now any time of day or nite, it is like a room filled with sunshine! Gotta love that hubby of mine!!!

You mean, shortly the room will look "utilized"? These pics are awesome. Some of us would pay for a set of these pics to take to class and tell lies about "our" sewing room! hehe

Well, the first thing that got my attention was the pair of ears sticking up in the second photo! YOU HAVE A SHELTIE! I'm a Sheltie person and had 2 dogs for 26 years - Kelly died at 14 and Bella died at 12 only 3 years ago. Wonderful room to have everything at your fingertips. I particularly like the fabric in the wardrobe on the tiered racks. I love cleaning up my room and I was going to do it yesterday, but babysitting duties got in the way. Maybe I'll try again today. Love Chris, Newcastle, Australia.
1 comment
Yes, we have a Sheltie! This is our third one and I do have to say that this is the one that definitely has the most 'attitude'! He is 1 1/2yrs old and is still very much puppy and does not like it when mom is in her sewing room working! He brings me toys, noses me (and hard!!!) and then to really get my attention, he steps on the foot pedal of the sewing machine! Guess he just wants to help! Lol

Beautiful! But, have to ask...what are your favorite thread brands?
1 comment
I love Isacord!!! I bought a kit containing all of the colors at the time (400 I believe) from Sew For Less years ago when I bought my sewing machine. I just keep replacing what I have used. Now if I have an embroidery project, I have all the colors that I need.

UNBELIEVABLE. To have your material so nicely color coordinated is amazing. This is a awesome room. Unfortunately Just about when I get organized I start a project and out goes the neatness.

Sorry, wrong dimensions! I got my husband to help me measure my room last nite and it is 13' x 13'.
Sweet, Thank you. Until my oldest finds his own place I can dream. My room isn't as big as your, but like your lay out of machines and things. Happy Stitching!!!!

You have a sewing area most of us can only dream about.. if you want to swap mine is a spacious 8'x8' room and you can trip any which way you turn sound good huh.. lol
1 comment
Oh, i do know how that feels! This is the best sewing room I have ever had! I did have one that was so small, half was in what i called my sewing room and then other half was across the hall in my office! So thankful for the room I have now!!!

I love your room. a nice inspiration for me. I just changed my sewing room with my sons room under the roof. Now I have got a lot of space about 40 square metre but now idea how to arrange. How did you fold your fabrics?
1 comment
I have a 12"x24" ruler. Folded fabric so selvages where together and then wrapped around the ruler. Then in half. That way, all fabric was the same size.
Hope this helps and good luck with yr new room! :)
