The Sewing Room
4 Attachment(s)
I've mentioned my sewing setup a few times and finally took some pictures. The sewing table is a counter bought at a moving sale, it sits on a file cabinet bought at the same sale for a total of $40! DH mounted a rail along the wall, into the studs, for the other sides to rest on. He cut an opening and we set the sewing machine in a wire, coated, basket. I used my Sew Steady acrylic table as a template and screwed it on top of the counter, it can easily be removed if I want to use the open arm. The cupboard was a steal too, $99 at Jerry's because it had a scratch on it, we painted it to look like new, and added three shelves inside.

The chest was on sale at Bi-Mart and all my nifty gadgets and threads are right by my side. [ATTACH=CONFIG]384144[/ATTACH] He made the spoon hooks out of old silver tablespoons to mount the bobbin holders on the wall. That was an easy one, just hammer them to give them a "look" and bend them to make a hook. We found the shelves at a yard sale and painted them to make thread storage. [ATTACH=CONFIG]384145[/ATTACH] The "office" part of the sewing room got kind of cramped for Christmas! [ATTACH=CONFIG]384146[/ATTACH] I think we are going to put more shelves over the sewing table, or maybe I'll make a quilt for it ... I need to decide on color choices and we'll paint and fix it up some more, and obviously I need to organize my stuff better, but I have a lot more storage than I started out with and a nice, flush, sewing machine! Oh, and the "cutting table" is the "38 x 74" inch counter in the kitchen/dining room. A large cutting mat fits on it, and I get my exercise running back and forth. :thumbup: |
Its looking Great!!! I have been starting to clean out my sewing room...its amazing how quickly it fills up. I have shelves all around the top of the room. I am also thinking of putting up more shelves...wider this time to hold fabric bolts.

You have a great sewing space. Isn't it fun to find great deals and repurpose things?
I have a cubby shelving unit that we bought from a hiking store that was going out of business. The cubbies are the perfect size for Ikea plastic totes, |
Thanks! It is fun re purposing and a lot cheaper!

You have a great looking sewing space. My belief is, you can never have too many shelves or cabinets.

What a nice set-up! You are going to really enjoy working in your new space.
