What I would like best is a little robot person who puts fabric back in the exact spot from which it was taken, remembers which beautiful pattern was in which magazine, senses when tea is necessary and makes it perfectly and stands at the ready to iron every seam as I sew it. It would also be nice if this nifty little robot person could attract fallen threads and deal with dust bunnies.Other than that, my room is large and bright and airy and storage should not be a problem. Sharing it with DH (one little table for his home management) and DD who crafts in the corner is quite sociable. Fabrics are stored safely and out of reach of the harsh sunlight in a walk-in fireproof storeroom (that I inherited when homeshooling was finished), so life is a song!

Natural light is a biggie. Plus a cutting table at the right height. And plenty of storage shelves for fabric!

I have a totally awesome sewing room (it has taken me a while to get there). These are some of my favorite features: great lighting, large design wall, rolling cutting table that is at a height perfect for me, u shape sewing station, lots of storage, large ironing board, and SPACE.

I used this board as inspiration for some of the stuff I did in my sewing room too.

A big board ironing board! Love it!

Open, airy, light-filled, lots of counter space and lots of storage with glass doors so nothing would get dusty, but I could still see what was there.

Exactly! And she could do all the FMQing too!

The floor is just concrete, but it's painted beige, and is very easy to sweep. I also wanted space for my longarm, my Cricut machine, and my 100 inch cutting table. Here's one picture, and you can see the rest here: http://www.candyapplequilts.com/fabr...quilting-room/

You have one serious sewing studio. I have seen LQS that don't look that good.

what a wonderful space you have and lots of light. Wish I had something like that. I guess I could if I could afford to move my new house down and attach it to this old one like it was supposed to be. build to go right on the end and everything would be on one level. Maybe in my future if I win the lottery. HAHAHA
