great job done by him and so lucky you are to have the space you need.

I forgot to mention, and should have taken a bigger picture to share what the machine is sitting on -- I found the kitchen counter, and the four drawer file cabinet it rests on, (the other side is resting on a 1x3 bolted to the wall, there is also one bolted to the back below it for support), at a yard sale. It was a construction guy cleaning out his stash. The whole set up was $40. You know you can't even buy a cheapy pasteboard two drawer file cabinet for that!

The four drawer metal file cabinet is 30" wide with the bottom drawer going the whole length, which is about 14" high. There is one deep drawer and two narrower ones above that. I have bought plastic section thingees to put in the drawers. It matches the huge office desk I have in the "sewing room" also found at a yard sale. The file cabinet is great for storage! Maybe not very attractive, but indestructible!

Love the yard/garage sales!

I don't really have much space, but I'm sure making the best of it! I bought a rolling wooden cabinet with several drawers and a rolling wardrobe rack that sit to the right of the machine along the wall. They have to be moved to get into the closet. At least I know which "stash" I'm using and which is undercover, lol!

The room is roughly 10x10.

Thanks Nan! I know I probably don't have much stash compared to everyone, but I have several ideas and the material for them in the closet. :roll:

btw, I helped! I vacumed him off with the shop vac. That foam makes a mess!

This is a Marguerita McManus' video. She recently wrote a book called "Sew & Quilt in comfort" which covers more of this concept for those who are not on the internet. If you should happen to have a distant sewing friend or relative, it's a nice visual & description of creative ways to setup your sewing room on the cheap. Of course, with effort put into the ergonomics of sewing without strain. http://www.amazon.com/Sew-Quilt-Comf...By=addFiveStar

Thank you for sharing, I added it to my wish list. I see it's only $2.99 for the Kindle Reader. I suppose someday I'll have to get one of them, but I'd rather page through a book!
