I can identify with that wendym - I got a dummy last year and got so fed up of looking at it and thinking it looked fat I turned all the dials to the smallest setting! Not much use like that as you can imagine.

:mad: Great why couldn't you lot warned me earlier. I've just orderd one.

Might encourage me to loose a few pounds.:rotfl:

We're lucky in that we both have a wee 'work' room each - mine for sewing & art and my dp's if for his music. he's a peak at mine:



I can't recommend it highly enough. The kids have a big 'rumpus' room, so they're happy, and my dp and I have space to escape to when the need takes us! Our last place was a one bed cottage, so even though we've been here nearly 2 years I still smile every time i walk in...

We've just bought a house and it has a loft room, which I've claimed for my very own! (DH gets the small bedroom as a study, so he's happy).

Now I have to find lots of things to put in it! :rotfl:

I'm so jealous.
I want a loft room, but where will I store all the !!!!!! that is up there?

Its now that I've started sewing again, I realise I do need my own space permently set up. Its no fun moving the machines on and off the dinning room table.


I'm sure you'll have great fun kitting your room out. I was looking at a web site the other day which people had sent in pictures of their sewing rooms. I'll try and find it again, it could give you some ideas.

The beauty is, the house has a 3/4 - 1/2 height dry cellar (it's a 30s house on a bit of a hill), where all the !!!!!! can go! And we have a huge garden! It's the perfect OS house!

This took some finding. LOOK HERE

I'd forgotten what I was googling for when I came across it.

I've had a sewing room for years - the whole family dump stuff in there when they can't think of anywhere else to put it and then I don't do any sewing because it's in a mess until I have a blitz and sort it all out- and the whole cycle starts all over again.
Mini chests of drawers from Ikea were one of the best buys I ever made to keep all the bits and pieces orgainsied

However my lovely new kitchen is just finished with an island in the middle which measures 1.5 by 1 metres - it's absolutely perfect size and heightwise for cutting out and for hand sewing curtains. So I feel a blitz coming on (plus I have to do the costume for DD2's summer play)

Hi ho Hi ho it's off to sew I go

I'm thinking of starting dressmaking again and I really want a sewing room now. I'm so jealous of people who have the space for this. We've been refused planning permission to build over our garage and so give our boys a room each -so, as you can see there's no extra space for a sewing room. I've got a big table and plenty of room to actually sew -it's where to store all the fabric and stuff that's the problem.
