I have been doing a major reshuffle of my enormous 8'x8' sewing room. photo 1 is what my dear hubby made for my birthday to house most of my threads photo 2 is of my clean desk ( it won't stay that way long) a shame it's on the dark side you can't see all the tubs of fabric under there 11 in total and photo 3 is the new cube hutch he made for me to fit between the cupboards and my fabric containers. Now I don't have bags of stuff all along the wall. Haven't put the tags on the cubes yet! I now have 22 cubes in there.. just didn't take photo of the ones near the door to the left of photo 1.. Hope you like it as much as I do..

Great room

thank you

Excellent! I am working on mine now! and wow you did well! I do not have a plan for the thread, however I am hoping to hang some pegboard and hold tools. I need some kind of shelving system, and intend to reuse shelves when ever possible. My room is not heated, it gets lots of sun, so it is considered a 4 season porch. I want to heat the floors and hubby says it would be too expensive.

Thanks Carolyn, I'm a very lucky girl that's for sure..

Love it! I see you have a Madeira Thread Chest, I love mine, but what other brands do you use the most? I need to get mine sorted by colors too, and on the wall, so hard to find one when they are in thread cases, sorted by brand instead of color. Great idea you had...you have inspired me to get mine easier to find. I love Superior thread too, have all the Rainbows. Hugs and blessings.

I have a large mix of Madeira, Marathon and Echidna at the moment and a few QA thrown in that way you have pretty much covered the rainbow of colours available..

Nice sewing room. I have a corner of the family room in the basement. Now that I am down to one kid at home I talked about putting it in a spare bedroom. However, my hubby thinks I wouldn't enjoy it as much since I sew while watching my son play video games. But I would like your thread shelving - your hubby did a nice job.

Well there no time like the present ask you dh to make you one just line up the threads measure the height plus a bit for hands and how many to a shelf you want, I needed it to hold 350 .. eezzy peezzy.

Wow Marian this is one relaxing room. Puts mine to shame... Really must give you a call to meet up. :)))

Thankyou, I love the feel of timber floors and in a sewing area diffinatley no carpets. I'm scared of standing on a pin or needle, this way I can see it..

Your Sewing room looks wonderful, just wish I could expand the walls in mine a bit to make mine a more orderly place. Enjoy your lovely space to work

It looks so nice and tidy...........now make something and mess it up!-I straighten up, I mess up, ...its endless with me. I do like mine, since I got those see through, rolling containers. I see what I have and where it is now. I know you are glad to get it out of the bags and off those beautiful floors. I love your flooring and now everyone can see it again!

ps. I guess all our hubbys have been making, or made, our thread racks. It's so good when they are 'crafty' too.

by marianb 19 Sep 2014

Thank you Toogie, I like to mess it up straightening it up won't be so hard now. I only have 19 roller tubs at the moment not sure any more will fit even the wardrobe is pretty full.. I'm extra lucky my hubby is a chippy (carpenter) by trade so can turn his hand to most anything that can be made of wood..

A wonderful room & now you can mess it up too lol. very inspiring to go into your studio & create when it looks so lovely! Well done to you both!~hugs~ PS I too love the buttons what fun they are!

thank you Loralye I love to be inspired to spread and mess, but now no excuses it all has a home now, I love the buttons from IKEA hubby laugh when he hung them and said what else would you put in a sewing room..

Oh my goodness - I am so jealous! How wonderful to have a dh that can do those things! the thread looks so awesome and the cubby hutch is amazing! Looks very nice in there - and only 8x8 - I am surprised. Love your pink wall and the giant buttons too.
