soooo......true !!!!

Wow, you all have some mighty big spaces. I sure wish I had more space. I am grateful for it just the same.

Maybe its just me. (?) But I couldn't sew in a cluttered sewing room. I would have to organize and clean first.

You're one busy quilter. :thumbup:

Wow, your is quite NEAT compared to mine, I don't dare share a photo.

It is amazing what we create in such cramped quarters. My husband always says, if I had 2000 square feet for my sewing stuff, I would fill it up, and he is probably right.

I don't have a sewing room, so my sewing area is always neat. I cannot stand clutter anyway, so I guess I'm better off without an entire room. - Cynthia

Welcome to my world at least u can find your machine

I love looking at the pics of yall's sewing rooms. I think they're great. I keep on dreaming of actually having a real space of my own. My machines are just scattered here and there, until the day that I can set things up differently.

I really can't imagine a sewing space that is being used, not being in some form of chaos. That's just the way it works. It takes a certain amount of space to work in period. Some of us are lucky enough to have more space and others not so much.

Thanks to all for sharing your delightful rooms..

Kaye Woods throughs all the little pieces over her shoulder. Bet she don't clean up her messes . she has people for that I bet. our rooms are untidy because we don't have "people" :) :) :)

Been there. Done that. And it still is similar to yours. But I'm slowly working my way through it. One of these days (years?) I'll get my room straight again.

wow...looks like mine...

I don't have a sewing room. I have a cell. Inmates have more room than I do. I started with a 12x12 room. DH put a 2.5 foot deep counter the whole length of one wall. I'm down to 9.5 feet. On the other wall I have an antique buffet that I use for storing linens and I use the protected top as an ironing station, it is 18 inches deep - I'm down to 8 feet. One whole wall is a closet where we keep winter coats and seldom used clothes like suits and fancy dresses.In front of the closet is my folding cutting table. With the leaves down it is 14 inches deep. I'm down to 6 feet 10 inches. On the other end opposite the closet, is my industrial machine. The table is from a closed sewing factory but it is smaller than the modern tables since the top is a solid slab of hard rock maple. I switch out my Singer 31-15 with my Pfaff 138-6 since they both use the same table cut out (Bonus!) The table is 18 inches deep, I'm down to 5 feet, 4 inches. In front of the China hutch that butts up to the buffet I have a large plastic tote for fabric storage. It is 20 inches deep, this leaves me with a total of 4 feet of open floor space. My chair takes up about 18 inches square and the 3 dog beds for my assistants take up the rest of the open floor space.

I have everything I need, but living in a 750 sq foot home really teaches you how to employ "creative stacking" and teaches you real quick what is important to keep and what to send on its way to another home.

All of you have me smiling because it is all so identifiable.

Here goes mine. I've got several things going right now.

Yup I feel better about my space now too, however I am jealous of all the beautiful material. Rita

hi I just love the fabric I just put mine back together again

I sure needed a laugh, I am in the process of moving out of the living room into a spare bedroom. Since I am a do it my self-er some little disasters have made this job take a little longer. I am excited to have a room of my own. I will take pictures of the new addition. What will I find when I unpack?

I can identify with that!

Is the red a blue quilt done with jelly roll? I did a similar one in a class, did it in shades of brown and orange.

hi just got mine in working order again if I just stop moving things around

other side of room

If I had to finish each project before starting another, I would go crazy! I love to work on one project for a while and know that if I get bored or if it suddenly "develops a problem" I can put that away and go to something else. That's how I work.

I would love to send you a picture of my work area, but have already seen it out here several times!

That's my mom's sewing machine! It warmed my heart to see it!!

A couple weeks ago I cleaned my sewing room and posted pictures on my blog. I had cleaned up the sewing room because I had company coming.

Well...the company has come and gone and I have not yet started any new projects, yet, so the room still looks the same right now:

I may think this only because I have all mine tucked away in cabinets and only projects (non-quilting) and doll stuff in totes-nothing in boxes, but I look at pictures like this and think that what your rooms need is cabinets with doors and the fabric neatly folded exactly the same for every piece. Nothing sits out in the open except the project you are working on. Notions etc, in an organized manner in drawers. All like stuff together. Anything you cant use or wont use gets tossed, given away, or sold. I cannot work on a project unless everything is put away to begin with. Clears my head so I can move forward. But that is just me.

My DH refers to my sewing room as the 'atomic bomb site'. I think that just about sums it up! At least it's MY atomic bomb site and I love it.

Saw your blog and it looks very nice! I love your sense of humor in your quotes. Chuckle Chuckle!

I want to come help you fold your fabric. It is a little obsession of mine. Some say a little anal, too. :) But looks like you have lots of space-which makes me jealous!

hi thanks I love this machine it runs better then my husquvarnas how sad is that wish I had my singer first

When can you get here? Ha Ha Really though, when?

Oh my gosh....you are SO BRAVE to post pics of your quilting area. Am afraid mine looks like that at times...but, I'd be so embarrassed to show everyone. My husband just is so nice about my mess saying it's the creative work space, etc. I do need to keep certain things "contained" so I don't have to keep looking under things to find them, i.e. rulers, cutters, etc. Again, thanks so much....these pictures sure help the rest of us feel like we're so "normal?"

My sewing room is usually pretty neat. I straighten things out after each sewing binge. My problem is I put things away and can't find them again. Last week I lost the same magazine several times and had to go through all of my magazines to find it each time. Finally, after listening to me whine about losing it for the umpteenth (I think that's a real word) time, my DH told me to bring it to him when I found it again and he would put it in the top drawer of his desk and keep it there until I was done using it. Of course, I have to remember to put it back there each day. He's such a Love.

Everyone here makes me feel right at home because mine is always like this!
ps anyone who needs me to come over and look threw you stash I mean clean up your stash let me know!

I would feel so at home in any of those rooms! And when I got going........

Right now my sewing space is all over the house. I cut in the living room and sew in the kitchen then go back to the living room to do my pressing. Oh I have most of my fabric in my bedroom. You go barefooted at your own risk.

It all looks normal to me.

all this replys looks just like my room

OH OH Oh my gosh. I feel so normal. Thank you.

Thank you so much! Glad I was able to add some humor to my day! :)
