I thought this might be a good place to share ideas and ask for help on decorating our sewing rooms. Mine is basically a nice area,just not real homey.
Martha,what would you suggest,to make a sewing space homey and comfortable,but still functional? Nonie |

Nonie, here are two I ideas that I have.
Give yourself plenty of light, either natural from windows, or artificial light. Another thing I like is to have music. For last December, my DH gave me a combination AM/FM-CD-Tape player. I am working on arranging the rest of the room, but it's a start! *-*-*-*-*

Good ideas Sewmagical,I think I should invest in a really good sewing light. Alot of my sewing has to be done in the evening,because the days have become very busy.

My husband mounted a TV up in the corner, much like they do in hospitals. So I can have it on or view instructional videos. It keeps me company and keeps my daughter occupied when she is in the sewing room with me.
Hubby also installed a 12 foot long pre-fab countertop. So I have my machine, PC, printer, scanner all in one. My ironing board is directly on my left cuz I am a lefty. All in all I think I have a nifty set-up. Julie
I was cut out to be rich, but I was sewn together wrong!!! /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ |

I bought the book dream sewing spaces when we decided to buy our house... I now need totake mesuremnets and get into true space (a 3D graphing program)and design my space... I sawa windo seat in the book that I definatly must have and I have how I want my sewing space done currently done with card tables and a desk and on each wall by the window seat I want shelves one big enough for a TV and VCR and then space for my books.... it will be a great sewing room if I ever get it done but I have to save for it and everything wrks now... but I do know I must have the window seat! everything else is up fpr negotiation ;-)
