When we built our home about 5 years ago, I shrunk the kitchen and made a small sewing room, 10x 10...if I need more room I use the dinning room table (which is just outside the sewing room door)...wished I had made it bigger..but at least I have a space.... :thumbup:

My husband carpeted our basement and then gave me his pool table. He put and 4x8 sheet of plywood on the top. Then got me the large cutting mat. I have the one wall lined with fabrics. Two 6x8 tables and My surger and sewing machine on them. Three cabinets with lots of stablizer and other goodies in them. I would say that I have a real nice sewing room.Also, a wonderful husband.

I do, actually had 1500 square feet studio until we sold our house and moved husband, dog and myself into the studio until we build retirement dream house, in the meantime I am living in the nightmare studio. Still have two rooms dedicated to longarm and sewing but cramped for breathing room....going crazy because husband and Maggie the beagle are in the middle of everything.

I am currently sewing in the kitchen/dining room, but we are closing on a house this Friday and over there I will have my own sewing room! It's in the basement and is the only bedroom that doesn't have an egress window, so it can't really be called a bedroom. It's about 11x13. I am so excited that I can hardly stand it. It has a really nice sized closet that is almost 3 feet deep! I can only imagine how much stash I'll be able to put in there once we get shelves put up.
I thought it would be a long time before I got my own sewing room, as we have 3 kids & the oldest is just turning 7. We just happened to have this house shown to us and it has enough room for everyone, plus a sewing room.

I am fortunate enough to have two extra rooms, when my boys moved out.
One is a 'guest' room where my hubby does fly tying and we store Holiday stuff in the closets.
The other is my sewing room and it is so stuffed with fabric and sewing/crafts items that I can hardly use it. I keep cleaning and purging and sorting and organizing, but it just seems to always be stuffed.
As an example, here are my quilting magazines. Too many?? I am not showing you the 4 foot high stacks on the floor!!!
Hmmmmmm... maybe I should stop buying new stuff? What a novel idea? Nahhhhh!

Well Corky, at least you're organized with your magazines.
