A few blocks for your enjoyment…
String Twist by Lorraine Olsen
String Twist would be great in so many different fabrics. The 30′s shown above are fun; I can also imagine Civil War repros, brights with black and white prints, girly lime and purple or pink and yellow, earthy batiks—so many possibilities.
Mirrored Ribbon Star by Donna Lynn Thomas
Fussy cutting gives Donna Lynn Thomas’s Mirrored Ribbon Star a beautiful kaleidoscope effect. To change it up, you might try for the effect of twisted ribbon!

Hmmm let’s see two sentence description of your sewing space.
I love to spend time in my sewing room, it’s full of fabriclicious it’s because I have some really yummy fabrics there and also magalicious it’s because I have your magazines there, I just found out 2 new words today
Right now my sewing room is in a disarray because of moving but am hoping by next week everything will have a place and my new sewing desk will be completed and I will be ready to sew again, I have missed it greatly.
Since I live alone, my sewing space is my whole house!
I have, um, at least 3 projects in progress (one MUST be done by Friday, to hang in my guild’s quilt show), so my sewing space is one, big creative mess today.
My sewing room is quite large, and needs decorating, which hopefully will get done this year. It takes ages to tidy and only minutes to mess up…. why is that?????
My sewing room is growing right along with my skill and love of quilting. I have a great U shaped space with a wonderful cutting table with 12 drawers that is a kitchen island from Ikea. The first time I saw it I said “that would make a GREAT cutting/storage table for my sewing. I love my space.
Thank you for the opportunity to win.

I have a large sewing space and it is very untidy!
I have to share my sewing room with my dining room, so sew and pack away is the norm, but the whole house is the storage for sewing “stuff”. I am hoping to convince hubby to convert one of the garages for my “stuff” as he calls it.
I would describe my sewing space as a place that INSPIRE my CREATIVITY. In two sentence Inspired Creativity!!
My sewing space consumes half of my house! Blessed with a large eat-in kitchen and 2 living rooms spaces, I’m permanently set up in the dining area and second living room without impeding on my living space, spilling into the spare bedrooms for storage.
I quilt in my dining room. It gives me a commanding view of main floor so that I don’t feel isolated while I’m sewing and can call my children into my sight whenever I need to see them or show them my progress.
My sewing space is way too crowded! I have to share my space with my husband and all his computery goodness, and it leaves little room for me, my machine, my fabric, my books and magazines!
My sewing space is unfinished. My sewing space does not have enough space for more storage.:(
I have a small bedroom that I share with our “office” for my sewing room. I have a large sewing table for my sewing machine that is wonderful and a closet where DH built shelves that are overflowing with books and fabric. A small chest of drawers has my serger sitting on top of it along with a pile of fabric pieces needing to be put away.
I live in a converted warehouse, and the lower half of the loft is my sewing studio and living room. Flimsies, WIPs, and finished quilts decorate the walls.
My sewing room is in my basement and is organized into stations (that is when it is clean). Cutting area, Koala cabinet with machines, pressing area and machine quilting area.
I just have a tiny space for sewin. A small table and a corner in our bedroom. So it looks always a bit messy, but it is a creative mess!
I am using my rec room as my quilting space. I need more storage space because I have things stacked here and there which takes away table space. For some reason we always need more room!
Hello,
Currently my sewing space is in mess-too mnay projects on the go. It is a small room in my basement but has lots of storage space.
My sewing space is cluttered. But it’s still my favorite place in the house.
My sewing space has a split personality – the tables are clear, and the shelves are full. I’ve taken over the dining room!!!
Great giveaway! I would love to win!
I have a lovely room for sewing & cutting that has a wall of windows that looks out into the woods. I have another room that holds my fabric racks and a cutting table that has a wall of windows that looks out over the lake.
Thanks for the chance to win. Love the blog tour!
Sadly my sewing space isn’t too fancy. We rent and so I have to use our kitchen table as my sewing space when our 9 month old is napping or sleeping for the night. I manage to wedge our ironing board close to the wall so that I can press my pieces.
As a Navy Wife, my sewing space moves and changes every 2-3 years. It has been in a closet under the stairs, on the dining room table (3 homes), in the guest room (2 homes), and in the family room, but THIS year my lovely Pfaff (that I bought used from a friend) and my two ironing boards have a room of their own, with wonderful snippets of thread and smidges of fabric all over the floor! ((((Sorry – I know that second sentence is truly a run-on monster sentence….but I was desperate to share my true pleasure over my room right now. We’ve come a long way. :>) )))
So many great blocks – Love Jessie’s Bingo block and the Window Pane block by Jennifer – makes my hands itch to get a copy of the magazine!
I use a spare bedroom for my quilting addiction. A large window looks out on the woods behind the house, providing a quiet spot to rest my eyes.
My sewing space is small and shares a room with an office. I have a lot of sewing stuff in this small space, and every inch is wisely used.
We have a wee house, so my space is my guest room/office/sewing space. Everything has to be able to be put away if we have guests overnight. Small as it is, I love my space because it has all of my favortie things. My husband has his own space elsewhare, but he has to share as well, with the dogs!
Before it became my sewing room, my late husband had his model train layout there and spent hours in there constructing scenery and “playing” with the train engines. One of the many reasons I love spending time in my sewing room is that I still feel his comforting presence in the room.
My studio is spilled goodness with cabinets open and supplies climbing over each other to escape. The north wall is entirely window so I can watch the seasons change.
what a great giveaway!
My sewing room is dining room for the sewing and guest room for storage. I have a newly framed quilting puzzle on the wall now for decoration. Someday hope to get a new cabinet to put the machine in with a larger sewing flat surface.
My sewing space is a giant mess, but this week I’ve made some good progress.
I’ve been organizing my things into boxes, so that next week I can enjoy making 100 new blockses.
My sewing room and office are combined so plastic bins are my main organizing tool to keep everything separated. I do have a large “cutting table” in my dining room though which makes it easier to cut large projects.
I am a snowbird and live in an RV all winter. I have my sewing room in a 6 X 8 shed and I love my little “one butt studio”!!
My sewing space is tiny, cramped and overflowing with fabric. It’s also full of creativity, color and fun.
My official sewing space is filled with wonderful things like art supplies, notions, bobbins, magazines, balls of yarn, bits of this and a lot of that and claimed by 2 very fat cats. There is a daily battle for the space I use which leaves my husband quite amused as often I sew with the “help” of those 2 fat cats, Anne Shirley and Sarah Jane.
My sewing space is a space where I dream of making fabulous, gorgeous, inspiring quilts. This space is mine to do whatever and whenever it makes me smile.
I’m so fortunate we added on a room in 2002 specifically to be my quilting room and as it is large enough to have friends over, hold my longarm, have a 24′ closet, and a 12′ design wall; I thank my lucky stars!! And to top it all off, there is room for a first floor laundry room so I don’t have to go to the basement anymore.
My sewing room is overflowing with fabric (everywhere!), books, magazines and everything else I need to be creative. It’s a mess but I love spending time there. Thanks for the giveaway!
my sewing room is tiny with just enough room to turn my chair around, packed on 3 sides with my sewing table, my cutting/ironing table and a large cabinet filled with plastic boxes with different colored fabric in them. It’s always messy since I’m always working on something but it’s my favorite room in the house
My sewing room is my sanctuary with amazing windows and great light! Thank you to my dad for revamping my oasis!
Basement book. Kid free zone.
My sewing is a room that has every thing I need and have several projects in different spots in the room.
Basement nook. Kid free zone.
My first space is in my living room where I do my acutal cutting and sewing. My next space is in a spare bedroom where I have my mid arm quilting machine set up and where all my patterns are.
I recently got a new sewing space – I “inherited” my son’s old bedroom; it’s so nice to have my own craft space! I like it because it’s got an east window, and lots of closet and shelf space.
My sewing “room” is in the sunroom with a great view of the river behind our house. Of course the other view behind me is the family room, so I’m never too far from them while I create!!
My sewing space is currently in the dining room, on the dining room table, because it’s hard for me to walk up and down the stairs to my bedroom, where I used to sew. Now I work on a bigger table and am able to answer my door faster (for mail & package delivery).
My sewing room is in the basement. An old dresser houses some fabric, an old dining room table is my cutting table and plastic bins are everywhere with the rest of my fabric.
My sewing space is big, bright & organized. I have lots of shelves, 5 flouresent light, several cabinents & a sitting area with an ott light for hand work, all thanks to my husband who built it.
My sewing studio has been moved to a larger bedroom with larger closet. It is a happy, sunny pale yellow heaven and I am so in love with it and grateful.
My sewing space: Just like a good chef is a messy chef, this quilter is a messy quilter, occasionally picking up all the scraps to save. My space is a cozy little corner of my bedroom where the low hum of my machine lulls my husband to sleep when i work into the night.
My sewing space is also my college daughters bedroom! It is challenging and inspiring working in there!
Within 30 days of my son leaving for college, I sold the furniture and remodeled his bedroom! When he came home for Christmas, his friends shook their heads and said, “Drew, that’s just not right!” LOL!
My sewing area are the dining room and my son’s room (he’s in the Navy). I also migrate to the kitchen table depending on the size of the quilt.
My sewing space is a spare bedroom that has two connected side by side double closets filled with shelving, with loads of room for fabrics and books and a very large 4′x8′ cutting table built over two large cabinets on one side and shelving on the other (by my dear husband). I have two sewing machines and a serger in this bright space, lit by flourescent daylight fixtures, with a view of the lake behind our house, with all the joy it’s wildlife inspires.
My sewing space is a section of my living room. I’ve converted my dining room into my machine quilting space by putting a mid-arm quilting machine on frame in there instead of a dining table.
My sewing room is our former guest room, transformed by a permanently placed, wonderfully large Formica-covered worktable with an extra large rotary cutting mat on top of it. Sewing machine set up all the time. Threads and notions are semi-organized on the top of the dresser and the drawers contain all the batting, patterns, fabric-in-waiting for projects. My project “board” is an old mattress turned sideways and leaned against the wall, covered by an old quilt. I LOVE MY SPACE….my “girl cave” !!!!
My sewing space and office space are in the same small room which makes it necessary to stay very organized. I do love how I can just turn my chair without much rolling and be at my computer or my sewing machine or my cutting/design table.
My sewing space is a well-lighted dungeon with enough space for my domestic and mid-arm machines and enough extra space for bookcases for all my books and magazines and a big board. My cutting table is around the corner in the family room.
These block books are a lot of fun! You can mix and match to come up with the funkiest quilts.
My sewing room is a small bedroom in the basement I was able to convert when my kid finally moved out. It still is as messy as it was when she lived there!
I share a space with my husband’s office/ping pong rec room. I have told my mother, a self-proclaimed neat freak, that my space reflects what’s going on in my head! I have a lot of stuff going on up there! And, it is a mess!
I have 2 sewing rooms. One upstairs, one down. My fav is my downstairs one. It is the size of a closet…no really the size of a small closet, with ironing board, machine and table and chair, fabric sits on cedar shelves…very cool !
My cutting station is on top of the dining room table downstairs, the ironing board is set up in the upstairs bathroom and the sewing machine is in the upstairs tiny bedroom. Set up that way, quilting burns calories and is not a sedentary hobby!
My quilting space is in a closet. I built shelves and have a dresser in it, that’s just for some of it! I also have a tall cabinet than I can close in the bedroom, never enough fabric or enough time.
Love my shelves, drawers and nooks ~
that hold my stash, threads and books!
My sewing room is a lovely converted downstairs bedroom with lots of cutting room and shelves of wonderful fabric. A small place all my own to be creative and use my imagination.
Right now my quilting space is a mess and very much in need of a tidy up and put away. But I’m lucky enought to have my own space so there is no need to clean up until the current project is done or until I can’t stand it anymore…lol!! Thanks for the fun enjoying the blog hop……..
My sewing space is one end of my very large bedroom with one wall of shelves and a cutting/ sewing table. Today I am about to clean up the colorful clutter of fabric and scraps.
My sewing space is everywhere, I cut on our dining room table and sew on our kitchen table. I store my fabrics and notions in closets, the basement and laundry room.
My sewing room started out as a play room for when my grandkids came to visit……..
Well they come maybe once a year or twice,and they are getting too old for a “play room” so I took it over as my sewing and craft room….big mess ,keep trying to keep it neat but a losing battle. I would rather sew and do crafts.
My grand kids do like to do crafts in there when they visit so everyone is happy.
My sewing space is in my apartment’s living room with the computer and “big” TV. The balcony sliding-glass door lets in plenty of fresh air and year-round natural light.
My sewing space is a total wreck because everytime I get money to buy some important items (like shelves), I spend it on more fabric instead. Disorganized chaos, but I don’t regret it at all
I’m lucky as my space overlooks the backyard and lake. It is a great place to relax and be inspired.
my sewing room is in a corner in my bedroom. i have a messy table right now from what i love to do
My sewing space is a room full of machines. I keep trying to get my husband to extend the room to the back so that I could have more space, but he looks at me like I’m crazy!
My sewing space is dark from lack of windows, but it is bright and cheery nonetheless. Its walls are covered with doll quilts from doll quilt swaps.
To Small. Too much Fabric?
My sewing room is the bedroom of a daughter gone off to her own house. Not enough room though and I want to take over the second daughter’s room (she also has recently moved away) but haven’t yet convinced my husband. I am very new to quilting and I love all the fabrics so the space I have is over flowing to say the least. I only have a sewing machine on a rather large inherited desk.
I am fortuneate to have a large room for my quilt studio, but it is way too cluttered with UFOs. So, it either needs lots more storage, or I need to get busy and finish some projects instead of starting new ones.
My sewing room is my get-away, relaxing place. I have everything in there that I could ever need and would only have to leave for food and drink. ha!
I am enjoying my first blog tour. thank you!
My current sewing space is tiny and overflowing into the hallway and den. My future sewing space will be inside a converted garage and I am so looking forward to June/July when we finally get settled in that new home.
the new issue looks great!
My sewingroom is small and full of fabrics and notions.
In this blogpost, theres a picture

My sewing space is smaller and not as organized as I would like. But it sure is a place that makes me very happy when I am there using it. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have a small room to sew in. I share it with the computer and my office desk. But we all get along.

My sewing room is upstairs and faces the east. It is a messy, creative, and shared space.
My sewing space is my dining room table. My supplies are in baskets and firkins.
My sewing space is a conglomorate of fabrics wishing to become quilts, pieces of projects in various stages of completion, bins of scraps, design walls and fur babies putting their stamp of approval on cozy spots. It’s the most wonderful room in the house.
My sewing room is a mess right now, as it usually is. I have a bunch of UFOs lying in various places, some on the floor in bags, but I know what each one is. The closet in this room is not nearly big enough and my fabric bins have overflowed onto floor space. I also have my genealogy books and papers in here as well as my computer and various things for it, so my room is busy! I spend a lot of time in here. I like having my own room, finally, so I don’t have to clean it up for a guest to sleep in or so we can eat at the dining room table, as I have had to do in the past with other sewing spaces in other places we’ve lived. I have some quilts on the wall, which get changed out once in a while. It’s MY space and I can do what I like in here. Love that!!
I am currently quilting in a corner of the great room in our gorgeous log home. After the basement is finished, I will have a large quilting area looking out a patio door and 2 large windows into the woods, quilting on beautiful cabinets designed by me and custom built by my husband.
I sew in my bedroom, so everything needs to be cleaned up at the end of the day. I have a nice large sewing cabinet for my machine, and my projects are stored in boxes under the bed, under my dresser, and any place else I can find to stash them.
Thanks for the chance to win!
My sewing space is spread all over the house, I hope to someday have a one room studio space. The sit down sewing area and ironing station are in a back room addition that also serves as a rear entrance to the house and coat/shoeroom, the longarm sewing machine is in the dinning room and I do most of my rotary cutting of large pieces on the dining room table in the basement.
My studio is over my garage with a big picture window to look out while I sew. It is full of everything I love, design wall, fabric, UFO’s buttons and trim.
My sewing room was originally my son’s bedroom.
It’s usually a mess but I assure my husband that I know where everything is!
My sewing space is a total mess, with not an inch of space that isn’t covered by fabrics or books. That is actually a good thing as it means I’m actually working on a project!
I began in a small corner of a guest room…. then the closet got cleaned out, then the bed went! From there it took on a life of its own! I love my sewing room, my guests sleep on a blow up mattress!!
My sewing space is a nice sized extra bedroom with a spacious closet and attic space just off of it to hold all of my fabric and supplies. One wall is pegboard to keep notions and rulers organized.
My sewing machine space is in a cobbled together corner of the spare bedroom, the dining table is for cutting, the utility room has the ironing board and iron, my bed/my mother’s bed is the “design wall” and quilt sandwich area, and fabric/magazines/books are located all over the house. In other words, our entire home is “one big messy studio.”
My sewing and ironing stations are in my dining room. Cutting takes place at a card table in the living room.
My sewing space is my kitchen table and one cupboard full of works in progress, thread and small tools. I bring the ironing board up from the laundry room and take the cutting mat and ruler out from under my bed. How I long for a proper room of my own.
My sewing space is also my office. It’s in the basement and there’s no windows, but I like to think of it as cozy.
My sewing room used to be a small bedroom. It is very efficient – I can rotate in my chair between my machine, my cutting table & my ironing board.
Two rooms filled to overflowing with quilting supplies. One path that resembles an “agility course” used to navigate.
My sewing area is in the bedroom and on the living room table. I also have boxes stashed of fabric in the closet and under the bed. Hey, it’s the best I can do when I really don’t have a sewing area all to myself. Thank you for a wonderful and fun week and giving us all a chance to win such a creative magazine.

My sewing space grew about 20 fold with a move to a new town and larger home. I hope to fill the extra space with a longarm! Thanks for the chance to win. Loving the tour.
I took over our second bedroom for my quilting space. It is on the 4th floor and I can see the Gorge waterway when I look out it.
I am shamefully embarassed to admit that my sewing room is a complete disaster at the moment. A slightly discernable path leads through piles, boxes and bins from the door to the sewing machine and to the closet.
An efficient (means small) space packed with toys (sewing machines) used to create gifts from fabric, thread, and love. It’s my favorite place to be!
I have a huge sewing room in the basement family room. The pool table is an excellent space to layout quilts!
I have the coolest room in the house for my sewing room, not kidding. It’s the basement and right now the AC is broken!
It’s supposed to be close to 90F all week, guess I’ll be doing a lot of quilting until the AC gets fixed
I have a combined office/sewing room. The room is visually divided so I have a sewing area. Luckily, I have plenty of room for holding “quilt ins” with my sister-in-law and nieces. My favorite things are my shelves which display all of my fabric. My hubby even built cubbies near the ceiling when enclosing ductwork so that my fabric stash becomes part of the decor. I also love my scrap jars containing those scraps too tiny rouse in future products. I enjoy looking at them and remembering all of the fun I have quilting!
I have a bedroom, turned sewing room, that is getting cleaned out and rearranged. I need to move things around to get them in the proper ploace, and get things picked up. I have a tendency to be rather messy, and it shows. I am working on getting fat quarters into a proper place so I can see them all, larger pieces of fabric on bolts, and the remainder I will start ironing and cutting into squares in the next few days. I love to quilt… I just hate keeping things in an orderly fashion!
“Dining room” just about covers the sewing space, but it’s a beautiful, light-filled space, and my husband is quite happy to see it used for sewing. The storage space, shared with my weaving equipment and supplies, is another bright, and very colorful (and crowded) space.
My sewing room is also our family room but my kids are grown so we don’t use it as much. It is also in a constant state of reorganizing as I haven’t really figured out where everything should go!
My sewing space is a total delight. It is roomy and filled with light and in addition it is very well organized. A fun place to be.
My house is currently being renovated. So, my sewing is being done at the kitchen table, and all my fabric and notions are stored in the crawlspace in plastic bins.
My sewing room is also my bedroom and office, but the sewing and fabric take up most of the space. Needless to say I spend the majority of my time in this room.
I use my son’s old bedroom as my sewing space, and while it isn’t beautiful or artistic looking’ it’s very functional for me. The best part is my design wall, although I wish it was bigger as I tend to make large quilts!
My husband redid the room for me, so lots of space and a warm and relaxing room.
But, I am a messy quilter and I never put things back, so it is a large messy room and I really need to get in there and reorganize;)

My sewing space is like water — it spreads out, until it hits something to stop it. I’d like to keep it neat, but I subscribe to the “creative minds are rarely tidy” philosophy —, consequently, I frequently have to tidy things up to find other things!
My sewing space is a huge, bright room with lots of natural light. However, it looks as if a bomb went off and I need the organizational fairies to come in and repair!
My sewing space is cluttered, but I know where everything is. (usually). I love sitting behind my sewing machine and finishing up some things while talking to either daughters, or clients, as that makes the time pass by faster.
My sewing space is a nice, large bedroom with a good sized closet. A friend and I use the two sewing tables and my studio from accuquilt. It has good light and a nice fan…love it.
My sewing area is currently located in my living room. When my room is finished in my basement, I hope to have an area to spread out and work in.
My sewing space needs some organization. My sewing space has two windows and a lot of light.
My sewing space is my dining room table. I know, I really want a sewing room but my sewing room turned into a place to paint my husband’s carvings. I know, how about that, but my sewing doesn’t get all over, just the pins prick your feet once in a while:)
Wonderful giveaway!!!
Thank you

My personal sewing space is almost non-existent; I don’t even own a sewing machine yet! I just started learning to quilt so my supplies are kept in a tote bag so that I can go to my neighbor’s house. She is teaching me everything I need to know and is letting me use her space, which she always says is messy but it looks immaculate to me.I know when I have my sewing set-up, the fabric and thread are going to explode everywhere.
My new sewing space is my daughter’s old bedroom that has a ironing station, and a cutting table that I refurbished from other things, my Singer machine, and my fabrics. Hubby just bought me a new DVD player and small screen for watching while I sew so it’s now my perfect happy place!
When we bought our house 8 years ago, my husband said I could pick any room I wanted for my sewing room and it would be all mine. So my sewing room is what should have been a 20′x16′ living room, in which he installed a 9′ cutting counter with cabinets underneath for me to store my entire stash!
Right now my sewing room is the next largest bedroom next to the master with a mini-walk in closet full of projects, books, and fabric. Here soon it will be two bedrooms because my current bedroom will become my longarm room and one of our bedrooms will become my sewing room.
I love my sewing room & could stay in there all day. It has everything I need except I have to make trips to the kitchen for food & drinks.
My sewing area is a tiny spare bedroom. I love it! Apparently, so does our yorkie and calico cat. They are always in there sleeping on the fabrics!
Hmm tow sentences? How about two words~ messy and mine!
I love to create in chaos. LOL
My sewing space is in it’s own room and is small but funtional. However, I do my needleturn on my bed under an Ott light and prop it on a pillow to get it close to my eyes….I’m getting a little long in the tooth…..grin.
My sewing “room” is our dining room with a clear view to the front door! It forces me to stay organized but I have tons of fun in there.
My sewing space is a small corner in my bedroom. It is a little cramped, but I have good light with my sewing machine in front of the window.
O meu quarto de costura é e está mais organizado agora.Desloquei para entrada da garagem 2 então corte lá fora.Costura e ferro de passar dentro.E também decorei com peças fofas em uma das paredes,e com cortinas claras.Obrigada pela chance e Parabéns.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
No space right now, due to moving. Lots of fabric to refind in the boxes, but I keep buying more anyway. Will be clearing out space in the office to set up new Singer anniversary model and embroidery machine.
My sewing space appears to be a chaotic mess of fabric piles, patterns, scraps, UFOs, tables, and totes of fabric stash. To me it is my personal spa of peace, tranquility and a thing of beauty!
My sewing space is bright and airy with polka dot curtains. It is also completely covered with fabric and projects in progress!
My sewing room is a guest bedroom with 2 sewing machines , a serger and computer. As there is no room for material or a cutting table I have all that in the basement. My material is in plastic drawers sorted by color. I get lots of exercise going from the second floor to the basement and back again.
I have 2 rooms (!)-one for storage of fabric, projects, embellishments and tools – and a bed for my son when he visits. The other room has my books, boxes (too many boxes) of projects and WIPS and WISPS and sewing tables and the ironing board and a ton of windows.
I have one room with all my craft supplies, books, table with sewing machine, and ironing board. I have another room with all my fabric in boxes around the edges, with the middle open space for my quilt frame or for use as a design wall or for basting on the floor.
Guess you could say compact. I have to share my space with my husband’s office and computer desk, so compact.
My sewing room is in disarray. And my cat makes herself at home hidden among the fabrics and multitude of treasures!
My sewing space is shared with the guest bedroom, so it feels a bit cramped at times. It is a sunny room, and I love it because it is where I feel most creative!
My studio is a former basement bedroom of our home. I’m attempting a coup to take over the rest of the space down there for my quilting machine.
Apartment sewing
space: a tight fit! If only
there were more of you.
My “sewing room”, using that term loosely, is the dining room table where I set up and take down my machine each time I sew. My fabrics must fit in my closet as I’m a full-time RVer with a husband and we have only so much room but I’m determined to make it work for me.
In my dream world, my sewing space is streamlined, impeccably organized, spacious, colorful and inspiring. In reality, my sewing space is an overstuffed, small, often disorganized, cobbled together space, but it is *mine* and it *is* colorful and inspiring, so I’ll take it!
I’ve taken over a small bedroom for my sewing space. I have a large table, two cabinets for storing my sewing supplies, bookcase, computer table, and a small closet filled with stuff that has no where else to go.
My sewing room is in our basement. My husband made a 6×8 ft. wall of cubbies for my fabric and I have a large cutting table with 6 large drawers under for storage. It is great. I never have to put anything away unless I want.
My sedwing space is in need of more room. I have already taken over an empty bedroom, and plan on taking even more!
okay smile, my sewing space is organized chaos with many projects going at one time. It is often filled with the laughter of several young women I am teaching to sew, what a joy.
original tiny room now cluttered with teenage laundry/ clothes. Kitchen table now used, shame I have to stop for dinner !
I took over my daughter’s room that is the second largest in our home and it has lots of closet space with shelving at one end of the closet to store cut projects, ongoing projects and backings folded WOF-stash is in son’s old closet. I have an ironing board, a treadle that we are restoring, a large bookcase, and my sewing desk as well as a 6 ft cutting table. I am fortunate that I have this setup now because when I first started sewing I would get my stuff out of a laundry closet, sew on the kitchen table and put it away everyday.
Currently, my sewing space is spread out in just about every room of the house. The eating area in the kitchen, the dining room and living room all house something connected to sewing.
My sewingspace is everywhere in my house. In my sewingroom, the kitchentable, books in my bedroom and handstitching while watching tv, and out on the porch when it is nice weather.
I sew in a small repurposed bedroom. It is filled with my favorite things, fabrics, grandchildren’s pictures, baseball memorabilia and dragonflies. Happy times!
I sew in the smallest room in the house, but I don’t mind being a little cramped. It also has the biggest window, and I can watch the birds and squirrels, and my flowers blooming, while I sew.
I have a room in the basement with counters and shelving and room enough to set up two large tables for cutting. I love my room.
Out of storage come the extra two leaves for my super long dining table. My machine comes out of the closet and I lay claim to the dining room for the duration, transforming it into a thread and snippet covered glorious mess!
My workroom is small, and I sew at the window, which looks out into the back yard. My cutting table is a beloved old walnut diningroom table.
Not sure I can do this in 2 sentences. On our farm we have 2 houses. I have the smaller house as my sewing studio so I have lots of room.
Fun blog tour.
My sewing area is a corner of our dining room. The dining table has extra leaves so I have lots of room to spread out my fabrics and I store my rotary cutting tools on top of the hutch so nobody else can get to them!
My sewing space is messy. I really need someone to organize it!
My sewing room is better therapy than any psychiatrist’s couch! It has a cutting table that is refashioned out of the cradle both my now-grown children spent their first couple months in *Ü* This blog tour is fantastic and so much fun!
Love the blue star block
My sewing studio is full of organized projects and at times it is overwhelming. But when I take the time to fully put away the last project(s) I worked on, my room is small but perfect.
La mia stanza del cucito è …….il mio paradiso sulla terra.
E’ una bella e grande stanza, contiene tutto quello che mi occorre per creare e per sognare.
My sewing room is my favorite place to be….a place for everything and enough fabric to last a lifetime, but I will buy more. Full of fabrics, books, quilting magazines, threads, batting, tools….my daughter-in-law like to come “shopping” here and then we quilt together. Love it!
My sewing space is my dining room. I hope to set up a sewing room soon in one of my spare bedrooms.
A room,small and in need of major overhaul
is the spot where the machine and quilter dwell.
Too much fabric, too much stuff
when is enough..Enough!
My sewing space is at the kitchen table which I have taken over, cut fabric on a wooden isle on wheels, and iron on my ironing board there. My fabric is stored in plastic tubs in 2 different rooms, luckely I am not storing everything else in tubs, raising a 6 year old it was him or my sewing stuff, I’ll keep him and make do.
My sewing room is chock full of fabric and works in progress. It has a lovely cutting table that is often buried and a design wall that is also covered!
The magical room I call my sewing space is the one place that all the cares of the day just slip away! My space has (almost) everything I need to loose myself in my current project and when I leave, I am renewed and rejuvenated!!
My sewing area is 60″ x 60″ on a corner of my kitchen between the refrigerator and the back door. My desk with machine on top, a small bookcase and my cutting cabinet with drawers.
All my items are at the end of my dining room looking through windows into my back yard. Cutting table, sewing machine, ironing board and quilt wall are fabulous after my dad and hubby set it up for me at Christmas!!!
My sewing space is a sunroom. It is filled with light all day which means it inspires me. However it does show the chaos very well too.
My quilting studio shares space with my office/guest bedroom. It’s on the second floor of our house, and has the most incredible views of the Colorado Flatirons. Sometimes I just stare out the window instead of doing my law homework, or working on another quilt.
Well let’s see, My space is very small and compact due to being in an apartment. Right now it is in the far corner of the bedroom with my boxes of notions and fabrics right next to my sewing table. My husband, who is the most wonderful man, told me I can move it out to the living room by the big window for more light and more space soon. He is going to help me move it. How exciting for me. yeah.
My sewing space is my sunroom with big windows on two sides, sliding glass doors to the deck, and opens into the dining room. I use a big table set my sewing machine and cutting mat on and another table hides my fabric underneath it.
My sewing space? Colorful, chaotic, disorganized and organized, avalanching piles of patterns, books and fabric, and it is missing me.
It used to be our dining room. Now our table is covered with fabric, blocks are spread over the backs of chairs, and quilts tops waiting to be quilted are stacked everywhere: it is heavenly.
I love my sewing room as it it setup so I have everything I need at hand. It is my retreat and the place I go for relaxation and peace.
My sewing space is pretty messy looking, but everything is organized. I love having everything in one room where I can do my own thing and not bother my family.
My sewing room is the dining room table. It is often cramped and messy.
My sewing space consists of a five foot long folding table set up in the living room or kitchen while I cut and sew my current project. I have been looking at different sewing tables and/or cabinets, including a way to drop my machine in the top for the most efficient sewing surface.
My sewing space is currently the Dining Room much to my DH’s schagrin. You’d be amazed where all you can hide your stash when you don’t have a sewing room or closet available! We’re designing our retirement home… he has his man cave and I have my creative room, there will be room for a longarm and set up to allow me maximum access w/ my wheelchair….YEAH !!!!
My sewing space is a small (tiny) room in the corner of our basement. It is so tiny that the projects have seeped out into the family room, office, kitchen, bedrooms and any other empty space in the house.
I have a great 12 foot surfact to set up 2 machines at a time. There are shelves above to hold many different supplies.
My sewing room shares space with a closet, a computer (& desk), a file cabinet, and a stationary bike. It would rather be a studio.
My sewing space is a small room off my laundry area in the basement, but has grown outside that area for cutting and more storage. My friend built a sewing classroom for me to teach, and he built a huge design wall, and has a super cutting table where I lay out all my larger quilts. I love sewing!
My sewing space is my refuge from the crazy multitasking work world. It is a mess, but it’s my mess and because it’s full of fabric, I just love to spend time in there.
My sewing space has a dining room table with a hard glass top on it, perfect for cutting things out. My sewing machine, threads, rulers and everything else are on the table within easy reach to use as needed. Thanks for the chance to win!
My sewing space is a blessing. It includes all the fabric, colors and quiet to create whenever I want.
My sewing space is spread out from the dining room (cutting table), to the living room (fabric storage), to the computer room (sewing machine). One day I’ll have it all in one single space (dream on).
No sewing room.I sew in my kitchen.
My sewing space is a large room with a big closet for fabrics,cabinets for all my sewing stuff,shelves for all my books, a table for my machine and a place for me to find complete happiness. I LOVE my sewing room.
My sewing space is a basement full of fabric, machines, tables, toys and tools. I love it alot, just wish it was up in the sun.
My sewing space is cluttered and crowded. It’s my favorite room to hang out in.
Oooh, please count me in for this giveaway! I am so fortunate to have my “own” room for my sewing space, with two windows for natural light and a good sized design wall. My “storage area” is a walk-in closet with shelves floor to 10′ceiling – fabric on one side, books, mags, batting, etc. on the other…
My 2 boys share a room so that I can have a room all to myself as my crafty room. Sometimes they aren’t too happy about this, but they love their large bedroom set up with video games and all.
My dining room is no more,
for my sewing has taken the floor.
The Koala is neat
and drawers store the feet
and yards of fabric galore.
(groan)
It Spring, so my sewing room is getting the once over. New shelves have been put in the closet for my fabric. I just need to get back in there and put it all away. In short the room is a bit of a mess.
Thanks for the chance to win.
My sewing room doubles as the computer room. It’s also the piano room!
My sewing space comprises of a floor laid in tile, two working machines (one with water one with heat), a media center that brings life between the four walls and a beautiful garden of fabric that never goes to seed. It’s like having a sound proof room where the only furniture is the creativity of my mind.
Chaos. For my cat and me.
My sewing space is the bedroom formerly occupied by my grown son. It has plenty of room and two closets (full)!
My sewing space (“happy room”) is a small extra bedroom, stuffed to the ceiling with totes and bins of fabric, books, magazines, supplies, UFOs, etc. I love it.
oohhhh i wish i had a sewing ROOM. kitchen table is what works for me at the moment….
My sewing room is off the family room. But usually spreads out to encompass the whole house
My sewing space used to be my son’s bedroom. I chose that room because it allows me to sew late into the night without disturbing my husband since creativity must have its way sometimes. I have my sewing machine & table, large (custom made) ironing board, cutting table that expands and then the closet opens to reveal my embroidery machine & serger … and of course part of my stash. The rest of the stash is lovingly displayed in my office closet. I frequently open the door just to admire the pretty colors…. my source of inspiration!
My sewing room is a former bedroom. My husband put up shelves for me and I have a 6 foot table for extra workspace. I put up my own design wall and am extremely lucky to have such a great space. When I walk away from a project, I can just shut the door until I’m ready to work again and no one disturbs my space.
I have turned a BR into a studio, complete with futon and 2 chests of drawers, deep metal shelves and an 8′ table lifted allowing fabric storage underneath. Ironing broad and sewing machine cabinet are there as well as a full closet, all allowing for very workable floor space.
There’s no room for a guest bed or dresser in my sewing room which is chock full of shelves overflowing with fabric and two large folding tables which I use for pressing and cutting. I also have a nice machine cabinet for my domestic sewing/embroidery machine that extends out large enough to support the quilts I quilt .
My sewing space is s longer room with no closets, so I’m using a large entertainment center for shelves, but I need to organize my fabric on the shelves better, and I need more drawers and file drawers. I love my machine table with matching serger table/caddy that rolls around for extra table space and rotary cutting while I’m still sitting down and piecing: trimming on the left, ironing board on the right- my rhythm for paper-piecing is great!
My sewing room is about 1/3 of our rec room or more as it is a bit of a disaster right now and I have all my machines set up on a corner desk. My hubby is slowly building me furniture for my space – I have the most awesome cutting table that is high enough for me (I’m tall) and he just finished another shelf for me to put more fabric on so I can get rid of my piles on the floor. Thanks for a chance to win!
I need to draw from my stash before buying more fabric boo hoo. I can make my quilting space whereever I need it.
my son has just closed on his house and will be moving OUT. now i can get everything organized….here is the design wall….here is the cutting table…..more stash storage……room for MORE STASH!!!!!!
My sewing space is actually in two rooms in my house. One space is my old Singer in my laundry room with a Bonnie Hunter mystery with paper pieced strings on it, and the other is my dining room table where I use my Featherweight for machine piecing!
My sewing room is the kitchen table and all the space around it. Hopefully will soon move to the spare bedroom
My sewing room is my private “Happy Space”, which used to be a spare bedroom (before I removed all of the bedroom furniture). Three walls (the fourth is my design wall), are completely covered with “Inspiration” provided by wall-hangings, old ornaments and pin-boards that surround the windows, and their amazing view.
My sewing space was at one time a laundry room, storage space, office, and mud room. It could be bigger, lit better, more organized but nothing brings me more satisfaction than creating with fabric in my little space.
My sewing room doubles as the guest room so when I have guests I have to move everything to another room, usually the dining room. It doesn’t mean I can’t sew I just put the machine there and sew. I don’t use the dining room anyway for dining, I have a big table in the kitchen/family room for that.
It’s a mess. It’s a complete mess.
My sewing room was made out of a walk in closet. I have my sewing stand along one wall, that joins a side counter where I have my small ironing board and a cutting board. On one small wall I have a peg board with my rulers, my Marti and Me templates & patterns, labels, and other necessary supplies. This is my quiet, relaxing space where it is all ME time.
It’s my house, so I can sew where I want to. Right now, my machines, tools, and tables ready to go in my “family room.
It’s in my Attic, a new Janome Hello kitty just joined my Singer 220, in waiting on new patterns. Fabric stash is in Cedar lined Steamer trunks.
My sewing space is a long library table with a hutch to fit its 8 ft. length that sits in my living room, acting as a room divider. The sewing machine is in the middle, cutting mat on one side, storage on the floor underneath and on one side against an outside wall.
I don’t have a sewing room, I have a sewing area. It’s….compact. I cut, sew, press and draw/draft on the same table, moving the sewing machine, pressing board, and cutting surface off and on as needed.
For the moment, my sewing room is my illustrous dining room! Not too neat,but it
will do…I am cleaning out my guest room. I plan on a paint redo and then the room
will be MY cozy place to be.
My sewing studio is a sensory delight. I love to sit and play with my beautiful fabrics!
My sewing/work room, because it houses all my crafts, just got a face lift of new flooring and some new re-purposed newly painted furniture. Love working in it now.
I have an extra bedroom that I’m turning into my sewing space. It still has lots of boxes to be unpacked from our move. Sometimes I use the kitchen table.
Thank you for your giveaway and a chance to win.

The blocks are so inspirational (spelling??)… I’ve got to get busy.
My sewing space shares space with a sofa bed and a computer. Storage is in 15 drawers in a bathroom and linen closet!
Small and cozy, but with a beautiful view. I’ve cleaned up some of the clutter and can now find my way around.
Two whole sentences to describe my sewing space? How about just two words: creative chaos!
My sewing room is a calm, relaxing haven. And it’s all mine!
Thank you so much for this give-away.
really neat block..kinda mathmatical…I like it
Thanks,
Vickie
My sewing space is a nice big room in the basement. I had the lighting upgraded so I can work at night, and it has a walk-in closet now filled with fabric! Thanks for the chance to win. Judy W
Sewing machine on card table next to fridge. Material in many plastic drawers and tubs.
I have a small sewing room, that I love. I have a fantastic sewing cabinet with small built-in ironing board and a sewing machine lift that raises and lowers the machine.
My sewing room is in an early stage of long awaited creation out of what had been a living room in a basement apartment of our home. Right now piles of fabric, boxes of tools and a file cabinet of patterns sits with sewing machines, serger and what will be a pressing table; the excitement of creation begins!
My sewing space is our former laundry room in our basement. I also have a large cutting table in the game room.
My sewing room is the lower level of our tri-level. I is about 20×20 ft. divided in to 3 rooms.
My attic serves as sewing studio, play room and household storage. It is cluttered and chaotic, but I can leave it that way and shut it off when I need to.
My sewing space is a section of my bedroom. It does not allow me to keep up ongoing projects.
My sewing space is the guest bedroom. I have fabric and tools under the bed, in half the closet and in the dresser drawers that no one uses anyway!
My sewing space is the other half of my office space. Actually my sewing space is now approaching 3/4 of my office, but I’m not complaining.
My sewing room is so full of fabric, stuff, and the rest of my family’s junk, that I cannot actually sew in there. I sew on my dining room table.
My sewing space is filled with two machines, one serger, lots of fabric and thread, along with lots and lots of patterns – both quilting and clothing – and lots of dreams. I have lots of things in baskets that are cut out and ready to be pieced together.
Way too much stuff in too small a space. It’s sharing with spinning and knitting as well as sewing too.
My sewing room can be classed as “in transition”. My current sewing room is about 80% packed up. My new sewing room is PINK!! Yes….. pink!! 2 walls and the ceiling are very pink and the other 2 walls have pink and gold wallpaper! The closet is pink too! Yes……it needs a little work! Lol!! On the bright side…..it has beautiful wood floors! It will be pained, wallpaper removed and new light fixtures once its done!! I’m very excited to move to my new digs!
My sewing space is finally all mine as we are now empty nesters. I have a decicated room to hold all my stuff where I can just be me! Janet
My sewing space is a spare bedroom which I share with my children’s old cradle and the clothes I made for my daughter when she was small. I need to organize it better.
My sewing room has expanded from the spare bedroom into the dining room and somehow tiptoed into the living room, with some sneaking into the basement. How this happened I have no idea….I’d guess that it must have been those fabric fairies again…tee-hee!!!
My sewing room is bright and cheerful with yellow walls and white trim. It is also organized and filled with beautiful fabric. Thank you for the chance to win a copy of volume 5.
Hmmmm just one or two sentences to describe my sewing room ~ gosh that’s tough.
My room has beautiful solid oak flooring and two very large steelcase tables with solid formica tops and also a matching desk as well. Then I have a multitude of supplies shoved into my room for my machine embroidery, sewing, and quilting which is a HUGE amount of stuff and I think the ‘stuff’ is winning as my room seems to be smaller than it was about 4 yrs ago.
A couple of years ago my husband finished part of the basement and I got the biggest room. It still isn’t big enough.
Right now my sewing room is the middle of a table in the kitchen. Surrounded by items in storage while we remodel so I will again have a REAL sewing room.
My sewing space is also a spare bedroom. My sewing space is a mess even when it’s picked up and dusted!!
Took over one bedroom when first daughter moved out, then took over second bedroom when other daughter moved out, finally took over patio room with my long arm quilting machine so my quilting space is really half of my house. My husband has allowed this to happen, what a great guy.
I love my sewing space! It’s “my” room – I also work out in there (which explains the bike and free weights), dress in there (explains the vanity) and sew in there. I have tables positioned in an “L”, and when I use the machine (for longer than a single seam) set up my SewEzi table, which tucks right into the “L”). It’s my little cave! I just wish it had a design wall. My (new to me) mid arm is in the garage. That’s another story entirely!
My sewing room is full of books, magazines, and fabric, fabric, fabric. And I don’t spend enough time there
Right now my sewing room is in total disarray and I’m sewing in the dining room. I need to do some serious cleaning in that room.
I do my sewing in the living room, and cutting the fabric on the dining room table.
I have fabric taking over my bedroom. Its in drawers and plastic boxes.
I have a tiny sewing room which only fits a twin bed, but not even a full! It’s under rearranging right now, I’m trying to find some more storage possibilities, selves for the walls, etc…
My sewing space is currently in the family room. My poor husband has to watch TV around the tables and bodies (when my friend and I sew).
I have taken over 2 rooms downstairs, the formal living room and dining room. It’s crowded, I need to paint the walls a light color, and I trip over my dogs all the time..but it’s mine!
My sewing room is the extra bedroom. It is like my own little piece of heaven, quite and peaceful.
I have two sewing spaces; one is my spare bedroom and the other is a seperate building that houses my Gammill Statler Stitcher. Both spaces are way toooooo small!!!!
My sewing space is nomadic. The piles and the machine move to wherever there is space in the house.
My sewing room is the former guest bedroom which moved to another room when my kids moved out. It is large enough to have everything I need for storage and workspace.
My sewing room use to be my daughter’s bedroom. It could be a little neater and am working on better lighting for it.
My quilting space is compact — full of great storage, 2 machines and a serger and a wonderful design wall — and is quite a mess right now. My quilting space is the smallest room in the house — and the stash explodes into the surrounding areas when I am trying to “buy in my stash” for a project.
My sewing space: My dining room table ( one corner, and I’m the only one who gets to sit next to my machine at dinner time, so any food that gets on my machine is MY fault!) , and one quarter of the garage to store my fabric in!!
My sewing space was the spare bedroom – took out the carpet, put in a new laminate floor, and voila! my very own sewing space! The best part is, it’s upstairs and there’s a door out to a secluded deck space – perfect for sitting “outside”, listening to all the summer sounds as I sew.
My husband calls it the “dungeon” since it is in our dark, subterranean garage. I prefer to think of it as a “she-cave”.
My sewing space is carved out of a 350 square foot apartment. Ironing surface is in a separate room, facilitating “Quilter’s aerobics”.
My sewing space is anywhere my machine will fit, presently next to the laptop and my husband’s math papers. My fabric is pretty much still in moving boxes (we moved 10 years ago) around the room, mussed up a bit as I dig for that “right” piece of material.
My sewing space is a couch by a window. To the left is my stash and in front of me is a bookcase filled with needlework books and magazines.
I share the dining room table with my mom. We have enough room for two machines and a cutting mat, but we iron in the kitchen, LOL.
My sewing space is the dining room. No matter how I try to organize it, there’s never enough room for all my works in progess!
my sewing space is the small back room of my little house, lined with cabinets and cupboards and shelves, and countertops around three walls. there’s room for my ‘puter and it’s stuff, my machine and it’s stuff, a cutting area and it’s stuff, fabric in all the nooks and crannies and a stack of drawers stuffed with yarn for my knitting, too, on the fourth wall.
My workshop is my sewing / office. Messy today, tidy tomorrow. Well light during the day, badly at night. Heaps of storage space,but too much stuff.
Thanks for the giveaway.
A small folding table in the corner of the dining room is my sewing space. My stash and other quilting supplies are stored in tubs in the garage.
Messy. Mine.
My sewing space is the lower finished part of our basement that has large windows looking into the backyard. I am able to leave a 6 foot table set up with my machine and cutting mat, fabrics and whatever else I am working on. How awesome to have space to leave things set up and ready to go!
My sewing space is crowded. I have a path to the sewing machine.
Umm… it’s half of the dinning room table covered in my mess. I currently have 1 plastic storage drawer to hold my fabric, that definitely needs to expand.
My house is my sewing room except for the bathroom. I live on my own so have kits, pre-cuts, embellishments, fabric, ribbons, notions, thread, sewing machine all there to jump into play.
My sewing room is not much bigger than a cupboard, but it is my space and I love it. It is very organised with all the fabric in bins and the mags neatly stacked!
My sewing space is just that spaced!! Totes are filled to the brim stacked here there everywhere. Once I get together my fabric then I pile it all up on the table to take over the dining room till my sewing is complete.
My sewing space is in an enclosed porch with big windows for lots of light. It’s also the first room as you walk into the house, so I struggle to keep it tidy and presentable. Thanks for the fun blog hop & all the inspiration!
My sewing space has been downsized since we moved but I do have a dedicated room for it. It’s my refuge after I have worked through other daily obligations. Right now I have three projects ongoing. When I am in there I can breathe and plan…the next quilt to make. Happy! Happy!
My sewing space is anywhere I choose in my house! The room with the sewing machine is small and crammed with fabric/patterns/paraphernalia though.
My sewing space is an grown daughter’s old bedroom with an Ikea bookshelf unit for storage and an Ikea foldaway table in front of my sewing table to hold my quilts as I sew them. The closet is jam packed with fabric/patterns/scraps and all my mother’s old quilt magazines.
My sewing space is split between two rooms. Both are a mess because I have too many projects.
My sewing room used to be our daughther’s bedroom. We made it my sewing room about 5 yrs ago, it’s my favorite room in the house.
My sewing space is a combination of my utility room and dining room. My cabinets in my utility room are the perfect height for cutting and I sew in the dining room.
My sewing space is a small writing desk that normally is occupied by my computer (but I hide the machine underneath) and two pinboards attached to the wall above to hang inspiration fabrics and block ideas on- I dream of a cutting table and wall space to hang blocks and quilt layouts on…
thanks for the giveaway! fingers crossed!

My workspace is a bit on the wee small side, so I only have “room” to leave three words: Comfortably creative chaos
my sewing room is the spare bedroom, I have one corner wall with fabric hanging , a large table in the center of the room, with my sewing machine, cutting boards, and a place to iron, with 4 dressers along the walls, full of sewing exquipment……
My sewing space is my finished basement, and I used to have it all to myself until we got a cat. Now I need to share and he is in my business everywhere!
My Sewing Space is an Extra Bedroom with lots of natural light and has a neat cutting table I got from Ikea that is actually a Stand alone Kitchen Cabinet with drawers that have glass windows with the top as a wood block that is 36″ tall. I also have an Ikea cabinet and a wall board I made and a Dream Sewing Table w/room for my Ironing Board as well.
My sewing space is in a room just off the dining room with lots of windows, easy access to the kitchen, and a great view of the back yard. It is packed with tons of fabric, patterns and favorite things, but my 23-month old granddaughter has been known to describe it as simply “Mess!”.
My sewing room is split. I have my sewing table and supplies in one room and my fabric stash in another.
When my daugher moved out after college I got a room of my own.. my sewing room is my place of peace and quiet… the place I become myself again. my husband calls it my sewing cave..
Our house is bursting at the seams so all my sewing supplies (including my fabric stash) are kept in the bottom of my husband’s closet……dangerous, I know ;>). When it’s time to sew, what I need is dragged to the dining table where I set my machine up and we have to eat around what’s going on ;>) Thanks for chance to win!
Well, my sewing space is very, VERY messy. My sewing machine table is facing a cabinet with a TV and I “listen” to the TV while I’m doing all my sewing and needlework, etc.
I have taken over a bedroom in our house. I love it because I can now close the door and when I’m done for the day and when I am ready pick up right where I left off. I keep my fabric in another room.
My sewing space has recently been filled with an Ash White Kola QuiltPro Plus IV sewing cabinet and Pfaff Quilt Expression 4 sewing machine. Talk about thrilled! Sandi
My sewing space is our extra bedroom. It is small and crowded but I am thankful to have a space that is all my own. I was storing all my books and some other thing in the guest room. We moved my mother in with us and my husband discovered all my hidden treasures. Now my room is really stuffed and I am not supposed to ever say anything about how much stuff he has. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
My sewing space is my santuary. The place where I can shut out the rest of the world and lose myself in all my beautiful fabrics that I have collected!!!
Started as my sewing machine just in the dinning room, now the walls, the buffet, (no dinning room table, just cutting and ironing tables) have grown with tools, patterens, and fabric yes fabric everywere. We have swelled into the living room with a shortarm sewing machine and frame that when working I can look up and see what the weather is that I may be missing. It has truely taken over my life, or my eating and enteraintment rooms.
Our whole home is my quilting space. I love to be home!
My quilting space is crowded but it’s peaceful. I wish I could get in there more often.
My sewing space is a large 20′ x 20′ corner room with 3 large windows supplying plenty of light. It would be perfect if only I could get it organized!
My sewing space is just my sewing machine set up next to my computer. For storage of tools and fabric, I have a set of bookshelves that also house my other paperwork items. Thanks for the opportunity at this giveaway!
I recently moved my sewing maching on a desk in our extra bedroom in front of a window. Sometimes I take it in the living room and sew with it on a small table.
My sewing space doubles as my paper crafting space. As a result, it is WAY too small for everything it contains.
I’m still in the closet. No, really. I go into the walk-in closet and shut the door. My sewing table, machine, and most of my fabric is there. I have to go into the bathroom to iron.
We just moved and my sewing space isn’t defined yet. Right now it’s a folding table and fabric bins amongst lots of boxes!
My sewing room is a nice size spare bedroom with a couple big tables (former fabric store catalog tables), a lower one for the sewing machine and a higher one for a cutting table. The room doubles as a guest bedroom, but I’m lucky to have plenty of space to store my fabric and supplies.
A beautiful space in my basement that is a continuing project. Right now it is manageable chaos as I have been trying to catch up and I may just get it done.
My sewing space is almost nonexistant. When I do take time to sew my sewing space is cramped and tiny and cluttered, but I still love sewing and I love my Bernina sewing machine so much! Thanks for asking!
My sewing space is a lovely light, bright conservatory, looking out on my back garden. It is large, but still not large enough.
My sewing space consists of Ikea furniture, including a large flat desk (where my sewing machine and my two Ottlites live) attached to a bookcase (that holds my sewing books and magazines), that holds those square containers (and mine are full of fabric and projects), and it’s neighbor is my ironing board and my Singer iron that I love so much! I have two Ikea “picture frame” shelves on the wall above the desk, that hold my rulers (I’m partial to Omnigrid), binding, and other displayable notions, and underneath that I have a thread holder that displays my Gutermann threads, which is next to my plastic containers full of notions and anything else I need for sewing.
My sewing room is a wonderful, large room filled with just about everything I need for quilting. It is at the back of my house and I love that I can close the door and never have to reveal the mess I make at times.
I love giveaways! Thanks so much – I enjoy reading what other people are up to in the quilting world.
my sewing space has become the orginal “room” i had it in the front half of the liveing room and the “design bed” in my guest room!!
I really look forward to your magazine coming out. It is so exciting to see new ideas for blocks and the wonderful fabrics that are used in them. Keep up the good work! Here is an idea for your next 100 Blocks – Have a contest to have some of us non-designers create blocks for you. Thanks for all of your hard work in putting out this magazine.
My sewing space is way too small but wonderful big things still seem to come out of that little room. I gave my couch away to put up a Bernina quilting frame in my living room and my guestroom queen bed is piled high with overflow and my dining room table holds my cutting mat and scissors!
My sewing space is within my bedroom. I have a murphy bed unit. Every morning I put the bed up into the wall and pull a table out of the back of it, which becomes my cutting table. My machine is in a cabinet next to the bed and I have a fabric cabinet on the opposite wall. Everything has to be put away at night, except the machine. It’s tight, but that activity doubles as my exercise too!!!
My sewing space in Florida is a corner of my husband’s home office with a cutting table he made for me and a 4 foot folding table for my sewing machine & laptop. In Minnesota I use a spare bedroom containing almost everything I could possibly need to create except time.
My sewing space is a corner in my bedroom. My fabric is in an Ikea expedit cubby-type bookshelf, various drawers and some containers under a few beds. When no one is home, my projects tend to expand into other rooms. Then everything must be put away when the children& grandchildren come.
thanks for the giveaway.
My sewing room is controlled chaos most of the time. Not large enough for sewing and laundry Oh well at least it’s my room.
My sewing room is completely disorganized and chaotic right now. It is also full of other crafts, also not organized, so it takes me a while before I can work on any project.
All I can say is WOW,,I love your blog .This is my first time visiting,I came over from Bonnie Hunter site.I have added your blog to my favorites and will be visiting often,,thanks for letting me join.
I love your blocks tutoral…
My Diva Den (Sewing Room) was one of the first rooms I set up when I purchased my home. I put up a design wall (4×8); converted the closet into my fabric mini fabric store, and I share this room with my favorite sewing buddy – my cat.
My sewing space is (believe it or not!) in my living room. A Costco table is set up when I want to sew and taken down when company is coming or it’s time to straighten up the mess!
My sewing space has lots of light, a comfortable chair for my family, and lots of blue and yellow. It’s a pleasure to be there!
2 words? NOT FINISHED!
My sewing room is a large room in the basement that was added when we did a remodel several years ago. I have a very large stash that has spilled over into the next room, and challenges me to use it every time I am in the vicinity.
Most of the time it’s in the corner of the dining table. But it’s ok for the time being
