my sewing room

Ever since I caught a sewing + quilting bug a few years ago I've been using a corner of our family/ TV/ dining room to do all my sewing. I made it work and liked the fact that I was able to sew right next to where my children were doing their homework, reading, or watching TV. But, from time to time, I really wished for a space of my own.

I even had a plan. As soon as all three of our children became independent I was ready to take over their room and turn it into my very own sewing room. Never mind the fact that our youngest one is only eight :) One can dream, right?


 And then, one day a few months back, my husband and I decided to look for a new, bigger house. A house where I would have my own sewing room, yay!!!! With lots and lots of windows, ....

 

and a giant cutting table. I ordered the cabinet after seeing it on Faith's blog. I love this table and how huge and wonderfully sturdy it is, but ordering from Home Depot.com and putting this cabinet together was pure nightmare. Just saying in case some of you would like to get one :)


I love having my fabric (I bought my fabric cabinet here), cutting supplies, design wall, as well as my sewing machine all in one room. What a treat! No need for "set up" and "take down" every time I want to sew.

Now just to find my sewing mojo and I'm ready for some serious sewing :)

Thanks for stopping by. Svetlana

  6. Awesome! It makes such a huge difference to be able to just leave everything out. I know I am more productive. When my kids moved out I took over 2 bedrooms!

  10. what a delightful room you have with so much daylight pouring in. The fabric cupboard is wonderful, you can see at a glance what you have. Love the covers for the chairs and the long stool. I stitch in my kitchen allthough I have 3 bedrooms and live on my own but the house is too cold to use a bedroom,

  29. I've been sewing in the corner of our kitchen/family room for quite some time (I still do). My dream is to have my own sewing room once our kids are off to college (yet our youngest is still twelve!)

    You are so lucky, Svetlana. And I think you totally deserve it! Can't wait to see more of your beautiful creations made in that awesome room. With love from California, xoxo Amy

  34. Oh, I love this your sewing room. Ikea furniture is the best place to your fabrics.

  35. For your sewing mojo needs - do you have quilty friends in the area or belong to a guild? Your area is large enough to have someone drop in with a small project or some blocks. You could each work on your own stuff (or trade for the day - I love doing work that isn't mine - weird, I know) while chatting and sharing coffee. Your space is fabulous - your mojo is totally missing out. : )
