I really liked this one not only because my dress is in it, but has some great articles. Thanks Threads :)

i posted this a little while ago but I wanted to post it to readers closet and change some of the photos and about the dress.

Well I have been successful a few times on draping, but mostly have been unsuccessful. This book looks fantastic!! I would love to learn to drape beautifully and make perfect fits. I try, but I'll keep on trying until I get it right.

oh wow I am in love with that idea!!! i love color!!

oohh velvet!!! Sadly have not been able to wear it yet but determined to. thanks for the comments.

Well thank you ladies for the comments. I think it took me from start to finish with the toile about a week with alterations and stuff, but now that I have a pattern and know what to do I think a day or 2 I could finish it in.

I love the wristlet with the brown fringe on it really cute!!

I'm in love with it!! fab job!!

Oh forgot to say I am adding a full length mirror somewhere probably on the back/front of a door. Shoe hanger on the back of a door work really well for space saving ideas to put things into. Have fun!!!

Well it looks like you have had lots of replies!! I am kind of in the same boat of starting my own sewing room. IKEA or thrift stores are the way to go for the price. I thought about buying that light table but so I could have a small L shaped I bought the cheap white table desk with gray legs in the shortest ($20 total) and 2nd to longest ($56 total) and bought the thing that goes around the leg that swivels, i put my essentials (scissors, magnet with pins, seam ripper, chalk, ruler, etc). I have enough room to have my sew machine and a small serger with a table top ironing board and still have extra room. I am buying 4 of the expedit bookcases (2X2) with locking casters to put them all together and add a cutting board on top to make my cutting table (perfect height for me). It gives me room to cut and when I'm done i just roll flush against the wall. since it is a book case i am going to add baskets/boxes to the squares for organization (possibly my thread) and extra room. Fortunately I do have a walk in closet in this room and that is where my fabric is going to be(out of light). I still have to buy a shelving or bookcases of some sort to put in there to organize. Since I also craft I want to find something with lots of drawers (not to expensive) to put in the closet to hold my craft stuff. I did buy a file cabinet from walmart with castiers (I like things mobile) so i can put my recepits, inspirations, patterns, etc in it and it also serves as a side table I can put a lamp on top for extra lighting. As for thread....not quite 100% what I'm going to do. Right now I have them in a clear plastic locking container. For extra lighting besides my window I am going to buy the pink ottlite. For my chair I have a plastic rolling chair with the small ikea sheep skin rug and ooooh is it comfy. I am going to replace my carpet with some kind of flat surface (cork, laminate, wood laminate, tile, ?). there is a blog on http://www.burdastyle.com/blog/my-sewing-room , there are alot of replies on there. I always hear that peg board it awesome and dowels on the bottom of a cork board work. Another idea I was thinking about if buy sheets of cork (painted white maybe) and kind of wallpapering a part on my wall with it. Well good luck and can't wait to see what you come up with.

I think this jacket is very cute and looks well made. I love fun and differnt combos. It is a young jacket to me so maybe thats why some dont like it. As Coco Chanel once said "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." I think you did a great job!!

really pretty....love the dress georgeous!!!

very cute and romantic, saw it on burda. like the mix of fabrics.
