Being able to look out a window is a definite bonus. That's one thing I miss about having my sewing room in the back of the house where I could look out on the back yard.<br /><br />I'm glad you've found my site and videos helpful! Thanks for saying so.Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-33949302566270562972015-08-17T10:05:51.563-04:002015-08-17T10:05:51.563-04:00LOL, I'm still barely at the what a mess space...LOL, I'm still barely at the what a mess space.

The discipline to put things away in their "place for everything and everything in its place" is a discipline I had to learn and am trying to teach my creative daughter. I tell her that she can't make full use of her creativity if she has to struggle to find her supplies. She is totally creative and totally messy!Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-54929110968421742732015-08-15T05:37:58.929-04:002015-08-15T05:37:58.929-04:00I enjoyed looking at the sewing rooms and reading ...I enjoyed looking at the sewing rooms and reading how you and others progressed to these fabulous spaces. My sewing room was recently given a new coat of paint and a couple of new handy tables. I also was inspired to reorganize and freshen up my room with the addition of my beloved Bernina 750. It is the center piece of my room like a Queen surrounded by her kingdom. I use my sewing room everyday. I find that if I straighten and organize things on a regular basis I can find all those items that I know I had once but now am not sure where they are. I spend a lot less time looking for something....and actually sewing. Amazing how that works. So thanks for sharing these ideas and photos. I tried to post a photo of my room but I only have an email address and there seemed to be a requirement for a link to a blog.

I have a very small sewing room. The smallest bedroom in our house. I think I have re-arranged it 3 times in the past year. I like to have my computer by the window since I spend a lot of time on it. We are on 20 acres and I love looking out the window at the garden and the hill with all the trees. I am fairly new to quilting but have been making jewelry for about 15 yrs now. I have an Art Walk coming up in town in October so my time is spent getting some jewelry made for that. Once that is done I can focus again on some quilting projects. <br /><br />I like your tables next to the wall. It looks so more spacious that way but you have to make it the way it works for you. Also, thanks for sharing all your videos on FMQ. I've learned quite a bit since I started quilting. I appreciate all the help you have given.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384456195829501465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-15213641256289784572015-08-14T20:12:12.191-04:002015-08-14T20:12:12.191-04:00Thank you so much!

I think some fabric curtains for the ends of the tables are in my future, at least for the one facing the dining room right by the front door, and around 3 sides of my machine table. The nice thing is that it's easy to slide that table or roll the new shelves/work surfaces and use them wherever I need to.

I appreciate the offer but I bet there’s not much to be done with my small room other than disciplining myself to keep work surfaces tidy. Actually the new cubbies shot was taken from two feet outside the front door, and the shots of the tables and my sewing machine were taken from 3 feet inside the dining room! I have Pinterest-fueled dreams of putting cabinets into the spaces between stair treads, but right now that’s not going to happen.<br />Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-81357728702562191272015-08-14T17:42:59.054-04:002015-08-14T17:42:59.054-04:00 I think the tables by the wall look nicer, but ba... I think the tables by the wall look nicer, but back to back is more user friendly and practical.

I like the open look of the first photo, and I am a big fan of the table placed perpendicular to the window for the natural light. But I have old eyes which need more and more light every birthday! I would place some fabric, or covered foam board over the side ends to further hide the important but not so pretty "stuff" we need. Or chalkboards? Bulletin boards? Like Rebecca above, I was wondering about the traffic flow and placement of other rooms, but I am not an interior designer except as a hobby.

I have a couple of ideas that might help that transition for you and let you "put work away" when you're entertaining or whatever, but I would need to see how your studio space connects to the rest of your home.
