New Sewing Room Part 3

I'm in!  The sewing room is done - seemed like a long time to do it all, but that's just my impatience.  The professional builder we got to create it did the work actually quite quickly and made an excellent job of it at the same time.  I'm in heaven!

The room is 12x14 with cork flooring.  Because it used to be part of the garage, the ceiling is high and 2 windows bring in lots of daylight.  Our builder put in two ceiling LED fixtures and the light yellow walls with white trim keep everything bright.  Perfect for a sewing room!

My layout is slightly different from how I originally planned it as I have more space than I thought I'd have!  There's room for the ironing board to the right as you come in and right beside my sewing desk  which makes it very handy for that quick press you need as you sew.

Then there's the sewing desk hubby made me.  6 shallow drawers in each pedestal are perfect for storing sewing supplies.  The desk was based on an antique desk we have in the living room and is a real work of art as well as being completely practical.  There's room for all three of my machines and the wide kneehole makes it easy to slip from machine to machine.  The 2 wall units were originally one but were separated to accommodate the window so there is still a touch-up to the exposed sides needed.

Continuing anti-clockwise around the room, one shelving unit holds all my cotton/spandex fabrics with French terry on the bottom shelf.  My cutting table sits between fabric shelves and the 2 LED fixtures above give lots of light for cutting.

The remaining 2 shelving units are mis-matched and will be replaced eventually.  One holds the rest of my knits and the other my woven fabrics.  For now the small rack holds garments destined for the summer market, but I'll be installing a shelf with pole beneath it on the wall above the cutting table which will be much more convenient.

A real find today was a small collapsible table which will sit here and hold the sewing machine my grandkids will learn to sew on.  The height is adjustable, perfect for small persons, and it folds up flat to store away when not in use.

I love my new woman-cave and I'm so grateful to Ron for his well-thought-out suggestions and the very professional workmanship that went into making my wonderful new sewing room.  Now to work!
