Oh my goodness!!! it is excellent. I wish I could have a room like this, When I move in our new home we have two spare rooms I thought one will be for visitors and the other one is going to be my sewing room I have dream for so long. Well we have so many visitors there was not a chance for my sewing room, it would be wonderful to have everything within your reach, not spend so much time looking g for this and that. Enjoy it!!! Thank you for share it with all of us.

Like WOW-Ihave a spare room but the "stuff"overtook it so now I only have: Enough space for a chair @my embroidery Bernina Aurora, space for a chair with the table in my back @ my Bernina 740 Favorit. My overlocker sits at the Favorit's table, my cutting boad next to the Aurora with laptop jammed on the side.

What a lucky girl you are! My room was our second bedroom before the boys moved out and now it has a couch, TV, dressers, computer and embroidery machine. When I want to use my regular sewing machine I have to go out onto the enclosed porch, lol. My lighting sucks too, the overhead light isn't working and I will have to shut off electric to 4 rooms in order to work on it. Hubby is no help!

Gosh Yvonne, it looks marvelous. It also makes your room look bigger, even on the photo's. I believe that, if everything has a place, and you can just pack it back after use, you get 10 times more work done, and it is nicer to work in a place such as this. Hope to see for myself soon.

5. close-up of the wall space to the right of me.

6. this is the back wall - the selves with the tin collection is from my late Moms. So she is always with me. below is 1 of the thread cabinets and next to it is more packing place, with a cabinet below - this holds my stationery. And extra embroidery threads.

7. I have 3 of these plastic draws, on wheels under part of the work tops.

8. Place draws next to me to the right, with more packing space.

9. desk with 3 of my machines - which over looks our back yard.

Hope you enjoy viewing

Best I get the machines going now.

Lots to do.
