That is fabulous! I really tried to get my husband to put an addition on the house and he would not go for it :( I really wanted a new sewing area that I could fit in to but alas... not going to happen :(
I am so happy for you!! You are going to love it when it's done!

Today, on one of my email lists, I saw the two links below. They go to a woman's blog where she talks about her mother's sewing room. There are wonderful pictures to look at as she describes each section. I've got to say that her mother has an awesome mind to have come up with so many wonderful ideas for a sewing room.
Wow, I wish I had the money to design a room like that. I'm on a budget. I'm doing as much of the work as possible to save money too. But...wow. I wish I could have a room like that. My room will only be like 14x22 and I have to somehow squeeze all my stuff into that and make it look nice enough to work in...lol.

Enjoy!

How wonderful for you! Can hardly wait to see the pics! I've been broaching the idea of turning our carport into a sewing room, but my DH is not handy and it would really be expensive. Right now, my cutting board is in the office, my long arm takes up a 9'X15' former bedroom, and my sewing area is in a walk-in closet! I store some of my stash in my sewing area (messy: closet is 5'x8') and the rest under my long arm in plastic bins. Cabinets would be wonderful! And just having everything in the same room would be great!

I bought table legs last year so I can make two tables for my new sewing tables and just slide some of the plastic bins with drawers under them to help minimize on taking up too much space. I have three book shelf cabinets that I can use too. They don't match, but I'd jsut spray paint them black and use them until I have enough money to get some bigger cabinets to take their spot.
I seen a tute that someone put up on here on how to make fabric bowls and another one on making little fabric baskets that I will be making too...so I can make them to match the room and make it cutsie.
