I'm blessed with a nice sun room where i have a 6 ft. table where I cut and sew. As you come in my front door you can't see my mess at all. tHIS ROOM IS SECTIONED OFF BY A FIREPLACE IN THE center and then wide door openings on each side of it.

I am now a widow with no children at home...just lonely me......so I took one of the bedrooms and turned it into my sewing/computer room. It is kinda crowded but works for me. What fabric I have is in plastic containers that fit under the bed in the spare bedroom. I had to move my table from the dining room area into the family area when I got the longarm quilting machine because that was the only place I had big enough to set it up in. But it all works for me pretty good except I do have to do my oil painting on the dining room table. I only have 3 of my 7 sewing machines in my sewing room. The other 4 machines are put away for right now. I have some real old treadle singer machines that are in the garage for now.

I am moving from a 3bd [2bd 1sewrm] into a 2bd so I'll be losing my Haven But the new bedroom is 19ft L x 9 1/2 ft W room[ I was thinking LongArm ]-and its got a 13x4 cedar lined closet Which is already full of stash So my options are-1- put a twin bed in the laundry room or-2- sleep on the couch I guess either will be OK as long as I can quilt I'll be happy besides sleep is over-rated -Pops says "Where theres a will theres a way"

I'm sorry it took me so long to get the pictures loaded but they just didn't want to load for me.......lol...computers!!

I am fortunate to have a room for my sewing but I didn't start quilting until I had an empty nest. Just think of all the quilts I could have made if I started 20-25 years ago when my kids were small.

Very nice sewing area.

Gave me the wonderful picture in my head of me sitting on the toilet sewing away. :D Virg

I have been there! I started quilting after my kids were all gone from home so I turned one of the bedrooms into my quilting space-one year and 2 granddaughters joined the empty nest. One got the quiling room and I moved my 3 machines into the dining room and my stash and UFO's where ever there was an empty spot. Now we are once again empty nesters/have moved and I have a quilting room again. Peace!
I never sewed in the bathrooms though, there was always someone in them.

Hi, I used to do it all on the dinning room table when the kids were younger but it was such a pain to tidy away as everyone has mentioned. Inow have a corner in our main bedroom which makes for a tight space but husband is understanding when I remind him he has the whole garage. I have my machine there on a drop leaf table so when I sew I still need to pull out the side of the table to make it usabel for sewing but that is much less work than before. I also have a tall shelf beside it which I store my fabric and bits on. I used to use suitcases under our bed to store some bits before I got my shelf. My kids are teenagers now and everyone knows that when they leave home they can come back but will share their room with a sewing machine as I will claim it, so they are prepared. Good luck

Sooooooo :thumbup: Suggest to your sweetie that he will be a much happier husband ;) if you have a small space alllllll your own asap! :roll:

My sewing/craft area is the basement of a very old house with no windows so I have no idea what time of the day it is and it's hard to make myself go down there on nice sunny days. My kitchen is small and dark so no space there. It's frustrating to say the least.
