My Sewing-Guest-Happy Place
Listen closely and you, too, can hear my sewing room singing Dianne Warwick's song, with a twist of its own:
I know I'll never Look this way again, / so I keep photo-in' on before the good is gone....
view from the door
from opposite side
the third corner with cutting table
fourth corner with closet and a favorite poster of a girl sewing
I'll post close-ups in the next post, in case they won't show up here.

I store most fabric in a dresser drawer this way.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]561808[/ATTACH]
two more drawers with color "files"
and a 4th one (not photographed) that houses assorted home dec/apparel/craft fabric and accesssories
[ATTACH=CONFIG]561809[/ATTACH]
some Art Bins with WIPs (Works in Progress) plus some oddball stuff
[ATTACH=CONFIG]561810[/ATTACH]
I have yet to hang my design wall, but so far it works just propped against the wall.

My favorite toy Janome Horizon 8200

I used turquoise scrapbook paper, black and white ribbon, and black and white labels to set up a scrap system that works for me.

This painting inspired the colors of my sewing room. My grandmother used to sing "His Eye is on the Sparrow" all the time when I was a girl. She was also the grandma who played dolls with me, made doll quilts, and let me choose whatever dolls I wanted to keep when she was in the nursing home. I think of her often when I'm sewing.

My ironing table sits at the same level as my sewing machine, so all I do is swivel back and forth to build blocks.
I do have to get up for cutting large pieces at the cutting table, but that's good. I need to stretch.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]561816[/ATTACH]
My machine sits in front of the window, so I get a bird's eye view of the street and I can eavesdrop on the neighbors down there. I'm not nosy, just ....um...observant. That's it. Observant!
True confession--the adjacent bedroom contains a dresser with a bit of yardage and stuff that I haven't decided what to do with it. It won't get to come back into the Happy Place until it's been properly vetted.
Hope you enjoyed the little tour of where I love to let the world go by.
