It is not big enough and my fabric spills into two of the three other bedrooms in our home. I also don't really have room for 2 machines, which would be nice since I have a lovely Babylock serger I would love to have out all the time.

I really like the carpet and my DH just would not take no for an answer when he suggested we also put it in my sewing room. I finally got tired of arguing and consented. I was sorry almost immediately. DH was out of town and I went out to our garage and found a large piece of ugly plywood to put under my sewing machine table so my chair could roll around. I was used to throwing fabric and thread wherever because I could always sweet it up! Hate, hate, hate it!! I have those cushion rug things in front of my ironing table, (an ikea table covered by DH) and my cutting table (a workroom table/cart with drawers and a shelf from Costco that is pretty enough for a dining room!). My DH did cover an entire wall for me in sound board and white flannel, and he also is my go-to fabric consultant. He had this one misstep!Cheryl B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16852915019260177539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-27834517874346087062019-05-04T07:30:02.849-04:002019-05-04T07:30:02.849-04:00Thank you for the inspirational tour of your sewin...Thank you for the inspirational tour of your sewing space.

It a bit full of storage right now, because when my mom lived with us for a year, I had to pack up my home office/library to make her a room in our house. She has passed on, but the grandchildren have commandeered the room. The main sewing area is still set up, but because we live in an area with a long snowy winter, I can't get to so easily in the winter months. I have on one wall, four sewing machines. My Kenmore from 1977 when I graduated from design school, which has never needed any repairs in all these years. Then I have a Juki serger, an industrial blind hemmer, and an industrial straight stich, the industrials were my mothers.I use a rolling office chair to roll up and down my row of machines as needed. On the opposite side of the room I have a cutting table with mats and a pegboard above it. I can roll from my machines to the table in a quick turn, which makes it great. I have 6 windows and two southern skylights, which makes it quite nice in the daytime. <br />Pinky57https://www.blogger.com/profile/08575569572848879891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-77311520708059021922019-02-22T11:03:22.566-05:002019-02-22T11:03:22.566-05:00I have carpeting in my sewing room and I love it. ...I have carpeting in my sewing room and I love it. However, the person who installed it told me to get a plastic carpet mat to protect the carpeting from rolling a chair over it repeatedly.

It does show more dust bunnies/threads, but I keep a small broom and dust pan in the room to sweep those up. I haven't had much pain from standing, but I have also really trained myself to mix up my tasks so that I'm not doing one thing for too long. I do wear shoes when I'm up there, so that does help! If I have a lot of ironing to do, I'll lower it and do it sitting. If I had to choose, I'd choose hardwood again!Jeni Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766510979539197035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-85490381379215617152019-02-08T16:56:46.634-05:002019-02-08T16:56:46.634-05:00It's worked great without the wheels, and I kn...It's worked great without the wheels, and I knew I wanted it to sit under the table, so it worked out! :)Jeni Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766510979539197035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-89346410631097758402019-02-08T16:29:53.454-05:002019-02-08T16:29:53.454-05:00LOVE the tables your dad got for you.

I got mine at Ikea (basic desk with two thin drawers) along with a hutch that is similar to your fabric storage but has drawers on bottom & glass doors on top. I'm curious how you like your hardwood floor in there? We re-floored our whole house 2 yrs ago and, after a lot of flip-flopping, I finally went with carpet in my sewing room. I have some pretty bad back issues and was worried about standing on the hard floor; also worried about the amount of fuzz/lint showing constantly. I knew it would be an issue trying to roll my chair back from my sewing desk but honestly, it's driving me nuts now and I can't believe I'm thinking of having new carpet pulled but I just might, esp while our wood flooring is still available and I can always wear cushy shoes!
