This calendar year I have finished a record 9 (!) quilts so far, and I am currently working on one with plans for at least one more before the end of the year. This has been a record year so far for quilts produced! Therefore, my sewing room was kind of a disaster, so I spent some time recently cleaning it up and then took some pictures to memorialize the occasion.
I took over one of the bedrooms in the house as my sewing room, and it is wonderful. This is the view from the doorway looking into the room. You can see my Koala sewing table in the middle of the room (that I found on Craigslist after 3 years of searching).
9 months later, I still LOVE this sewing table and I believe that it is partially the reason why I have gotten so much sewing done this year- it is the perfect size and height for everything that I need. I usually keep my laptop in the sewing room to consult patterns, read sewing blogs, write this blog, etc.
This is the view to the right when you enter the room- I have one wall with 2 Billy bookcases from IKEA and my ironing board. The bookshelves hold the bulk of my fabric "stash" in the clear containers- I organize by color and rarely buy more than 1/2 yd at a time- I like the scrappy look in my quilts.
Then this is the view as you walk around behind my sewing machine. You can see my Texas Quilt and my "What's for Dinner?" placemats on the wall.
Finally, the view looking back at the doorway. You can see my design wall- it is 2 giant pieces of foam wall insulation covered with batting and hung on the wall. It is one of my favorite parts of the room, it makes it so easy to lay out quilts! They hang on hooks on the wall so they are removable if I want them to come down.
I hope that you enjoyed this tour of my sewing room! What is your favorite part of your sewing room/area? Mine is my table closely followed by the design wall1
