Take the door off the room. Then you see it every time you go near. It worked for me

I think people would freak out if they saw my sewing space. It is so tiny, but it is all mine and I love it!!!

My sewing room is stuck in a back room, waiting for the other rooms to be remodeled. But I still made it as pretty as I could. Good thing because the remodel is taking forever. I have pics of my temp room in the picture section, I posted some time ago.

Could you please tell me more about the "flat boards" you use to wrap your fabric on? Do they work better than just folding our fabric on a ruler and placing them on the shelves like books? What is the cost for these "flat boards"?

Thanks, :D

I, on occasion, work at cleaning it... I am sure you can wander thru my old posts and find the last time I took it on....It of course, won...and I need to do it again...

Similar situation here, too. I'm in a 10 x 11' second bedroom and just decided I DO need a larger cutting area, so mine is now 30 x 48" and my sewing table in 30 x 60". These tables are shoved up against one long wall, but both pieces of furniture are priority; many other items were negotiable. :lol:

If I can get to what I want and use what I need, that's good enough for me!

I agree with Clem55; “just be glad it is all in one room“. I currently live in a 1000 sq. ft. Condo. My sewing/quilting machine in on the dining room table; I have piles of paperwork (magazines, patterns, etc) stacked on the living room chair; two quilts (in progress) are hanging over the back of the same living room chair; bags of quilting tools/supplies are in a bag on the floor next to the dining room table. My cutting boards, varies rulers, and a portable ironing board is in the living room standing between the couch and the wall; and bins of material, batting, etc. are in the guest bedroom(stacked in the corner of the room and in the closet). It is always a nightmare when we have company or the grandkids come to sleep over when everything needs to be moved. I am always looking for the one thing I need, but never sure which room or pile/bag etc.,I put it in. I often think of those of you that quilt in RV’s on the road. God bless you! All of you with a sewing room that are able to put all of your things together and shut a door are truly blessed! Happy quilting to all wherever you work from!
