Sewing spaces --

In trying to find the floor of my sewing area-- I find myself once again
wondering where all of you sew? And if you are more organized than I am!

So I am asking you to take a picture of your sewing area and upload it to
your favorite photo website (I use webshots -- others use shutterfly,
picasa...) If you don't have a website -- post here and someone will help
you (or you can mail the pics to one of us and we'll upload them for you).

Let's create a sewing space hop -- so when you have yours up -- just post a
link here! Add a short discussion here to supplement if you'd like.

Are you up for this? I'll plan to take my pics tomorrow (and you'll see my
huge mess!!)

I sew all over the place! In the past I have sewn in schools, churches,
school halls, the garden...

But personal and customer regular sewing spaces? MOST of the house!
OFFICIALLY I have the Sewing Room upstairs, which doubles s a spare
bedroom and a library. I cut and press downstairs in the conservatory,
where there is room for the dress stands, the ironing board and the
cutting table. And an occasional spare set of sewing machines for when
friends come and sew with me! So here are some views of the various
different sewing spaces and some of the organization!

I think everybody's seen my 'studio' in my current house- I think this is
the first and last time it was all tidy!

This is a re-organization of the studio in my previous house. My current
house has nearly double the size and the same cabinets have been recycled to
my current house.

Sounds like fun. But nobody wants to see the current state of my space. No
real floor, everything topsy turvy because we still haven't gotten around to
fixing the flooding problem and remaking the studio.

And my dining room table where I currently sew is covered with cats, my iMac,
and a bunch of silver that I've been polishing. Plus my purchases from the
shop hop yesterday.

Here is a link to my Sewing Space. It is a link to the first picture
of four in the folder on Picasa. I hope you enjoy it.

Oh, this might just be the incentive that I need. I haven't had the
ambition to go over to my sewing room in months (it is over a detached
garage). It is a wonderful space, although quite a mess now. I will
need to get over there and clean it up anyway as it doubles as a "guest
house" and we will be having company over Thanksgiving.

Hmmm... what am I doing playing on this computer? I should be doing
something productive! Thanks for the nudge. Pictures of before and
after (which will look better, I hope) will be posted in a few days.

I got my sewing room under control in the summer. It's a little less
clinical and sterile, now, but remains tidy and organised. I just
love the way I can come up here and grab exactly what I need without a
game of Tower of Hanoi Patience and three pots of tea to calm down
afterwards.

Here's the link:

The only thing missing is my Mighty Wurlitzer (Hinterberg Classic
Quilt Frame). That lives in the sitting room when it is in use, and
stacked against the wall in between times. The spare poles are
migratory between the hayloft and my attic.

And I quilt anywhere and anywhere. I gather all my stuff up, stuff it
in my Dump Bag and off I trot. I am still hunting the ultimate caddy
for the sewing assessories, but my latest Mae-West version is oh-so-
close.

O.K. I got brave and took pictures of the good, the bad and the ugly.
Then I started to pick things up. It really isn't as bad as I thought.
I may actually have it organized before the guests arrive on
Thanksgiving :-)

Photos are on Flickr. I think that I made them public.

Despitr still having large areas of black paint on walls and ceiling
(and the tale behind THAT is venerable indeed, and belongs to a former
life the room experienced!), Nel's sewing room is a friendly and
inviting space. She has wrought marvelous changes there.

When I first knew the room, it was a dusty and neglected attic, reached
by a ladder down a thing known as 'the back passage' round a former
bathroom... The bathroom was relocated (rather magnificently!), the
wall torn down, and a nice wooden staircase introduced. Access is now
through the book-lined study. Nel became ill about a third of the way
through getting the walls painted, but it had already become The Sewing
Room. In the last couple or three years the place was sadly neglected
and became a place of stress and a home for moths and carpet beetles.
Now she has waved her magic wand, and while it was incredibly tough
sorting it out, she has come through with honour. We spent some hours
together in her eirie this summer, Nel working on her quilt and I on my
18th C wardrobe.

Here are a couple more pictures from then:
