We're building a new duplex townhouse on the property. One of the bedrooms will be my new sewing room.
The Sewing Station
Opted for the L shape. The larger table will hold the sewing machines. The smaller table will hold my laptop computer. I will place a corner bookcase on top of the table where they meet.
The Cutting Station
A challenge until I found the Sullivan cutting table ($99). This table folds from 13" to 37" to 60" which gives me a large space. It's on casters so I can move it to the center of the room to provide 4 sided access, which (according to my sewing friends) is a necessary luxury.
The Ironing Station
The Sullivan hobby table has a gridded ironing pad for large projects. It's hard to pin on so I think I'll cover the pad with wool and make a tailors ironing board. Since I have a bit more room I could place a full size ironing board on the wall and make use of a countertop ironing board.
Storage
The Closetmaid 9 cube organizer and Closetmaid 6 cube organizer will house current projects, books and what-nots. The pegboard wall will hold rulers, scissors and other cutting items. The 4'x2' closet will have shelves and house fabric, trim, notions, etc.
