So, now that both college daughters have moved home for the summer, my sewing room has become a big catch-all room...can't even get to my sewing machine. It is absolutely embarassing/discouraging. The most memorable times in my dining/sewing room were the 4H years...one girl would be doing pinning/etc. and the other would be yanking thread off the machine in order to rethread it for her project. Amazing how they both managed to end up with champions...they easily could have messed up their projects! It is funny now...was frustrating back then.

My dinning room IS my sewing room...okay..I did put the table in storage and the dinning cabinets were emptied and now have my fabric it them. Since there is just the two of us and a very small house, this is the only place I could have. Company eats off TV trays ( we don;t entertain, only parents over to eat on Sundays) I do miss the sewing room I once had, but our oldest son had to move back home and so it went back to a real bedroom. My husband has his office in the other, so this was the only place left for me. I like having my machines set up and ready to go when I get inspired. The downfall is I can't shut the door to hide the mess. Our backdoor opens off the dinning room so it is pretty much open to for everyone to see. But I still feel blessed to have my little space.

Also, I cleaned it up yesterday. DH and kids went camping (I'm taking a class for work this weekend) and took the camera. I'll take new pix and show you. I actually cleaned out a cabinet and moved my fabric in there. Looks okay now...still want my own room though.

My sewing room was my dining room for many years. My husband would groan when I'd pull out the sewing machine and lengthen the table because he knew we'd be looking at a mess for months (hey, I'm not a fast worker, especially working full time). So, when my son moved out I did a head dive into his room to claim it. I posted pictures of my sewing room yesterday, but what I didn't show was what is under my drafting table. You sure can get a lot of crap under one of those guys! :lol: :lol:
It's nice to have cabinets to be able to put stuff into. I use an old dresser, and a closet, AND a bookshelf. I may have a lot of stash! :roll:

Stuff I have shoved under the table because I ran out of room. As I've said before, when I grow up I want to be organized.
