I have a corner too....in my bedroom. I always did my sewing on the dining room table, and had to clear for dinner or eat around it. Then the kids grew up and out and I actually had a room all to myself....a sewing room. Then two years ago my son went through a divorce and moved home for a month with (at the time) a 7 year old daughter and three other daughters that visit often and regular. So, after a year of my granddaughter sleeping on the sofa.....reluctantly, I gave up my sewing room and painted it pink....for the Girls. But, I LOVE my corner none the less. And son is moving out by January 1, 2009!!!!!!!!

This is a link to mine, too. It was taken a while ago and I have done a couple different things with it----just some rearranging, really. Thanks for sharing your space with us.

I've LOVED all your pictures of sewing rooms. I have a funny story about mine, although it doesn't start out funny. We were recently the target of a home buglary - lost an almost new TV and DVD player. The burglars clearly checked out the entire house - opened drawers and closets - left dirty footprints. The only room they didn't bother with was my sewing room! They took one look and left it alone! I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry.

Well - at least insurance covered much of our loss. I'm just glad that we weren't home - though they probably wouldn't have entered the house if someone was home.
We learned a lot. At first, my reaction was - wow - we don't have much that's worth stealing! The police said that they were probably druggies looking for things they could sell quickly to a fence. Computers are basicly worthless, because they have too much info on them - and the re-sale value is very low. I was wearing the only jewelry of any value. Fortunately, I'm not a jewelry person - I'd rather have a sewing machine and fabric!
