Sewing Room Tour
Come take a tour of my sewing room. I would love to share my ideas with you.
Below is a picture of the side of the room that I have my machines. Above the machine area I have pegboard on the wall.
Thread, scissors and embroidery hoops are right at my fingertips. I had shelves and cabinets with drawers made according to my setting height and placed formica kitchen counter tops to rest on the top of the drawers and shelf units. This works as tables for my machines. I love the depth of the counters and also the back splash because nothing can fall behind!

I have an old steamer trunk I put shelves in on one side - which holds magazines and books
and the other side has drawers that hold my craft items.
(above) Pegboard above the cutting table holds stabilizers on hooks.
(above) On my cutting table I attached shelf brackets (brackets need to have a hole in them)
They are attached with clamps. A swimming noodle was split and slipped over 1" dowel to make what I
call a "fabric roller". When working with lots of fabric I push the end of the fabric
into the split and roll it up. I release it as I lay out my pattern. This way no fabric is
hanging over the table edge. If need this can be removed very easily.
On the ironing side of my room I have a custom made ironing table with plastic
drawers blow. (from the office supply store) that fit underneath. A "fabric roller" is
on the wall above the ironing board. As I iron I roll the fabric onto it. This recently
helped me as I pressed in the hem when making a dust ruffle.
My favorite tool
Pattern weights - made from 3 oz fishing weights. I use them instead of pins.
