My Sewing Room

Although my new sewing room is somewhat larger than my old sewing room in our previous home, I really lost out in the storage area.

My old closet was wall to wall… 11 feet long!!

This one is not even 5 feet long…sigh…

So, I had to acquire lots of fabric storage furniture.

I bought the white Expedit cubby unit at Ikea and use 4 aqua cloth baskets in it.

And I then also bought the double white dresser at Ikea, too. (My design wall will go on the wall above this dresser.)

I also am using my pie safe, that used to hold quilts in our family room at the old house, in my sewing room for fabric storage, both inside and on the top in the cubby piece that holds all my fat quarters. I also mounted my thread racks on the side, too!!

The low white rolling shelf unit that my big ironing board sits on is also from Ikea!

I’m thinking I might buy the vanishing roll up design wall and mount it over the top of my little closet for more design wall space…

Any of you have this exact one? http://www.vanishingdesignwall.com/

I worry that the blocks will fall off as the pull down surface hangs free…  thoughts?

I decided in order to avoid making more holes in the wall to hang different sized quits above the mantle, I’ll make new quilts the exact size of the poppy one so it will be easy to change out!

I’m working on an autumn tree wall quilt to put up there now!!

What are you working on??
