Re: How many sewing machines do you own?

Eight sewing machine and one serger. Three of my machines were bought at Goodwill. I had to clean them and oil them. I like to sew on the vintage machines.The electronic machine I am not crazy about. You can't use it to sew clothes on. It is great for embellishment work and that is what I use it for.Everybody keeps saying another sewing machine.I thread them up with different colores of thread and do different things on the different machines. I have a ball.

Re: Fresh Start for a Sewing Space

Thank you Neasha for the tips for my bedroom.I have the wall where one of my bedroom window is lined up with my machines and plastic drawers. In the corner is my yaffa storeage with my books and sewing hams and stuff.In my closet on the lower rod I have plastic bags with the prodjects I am going to do.Under the bed is under the bed boxes with fabric. There is a chimney in the wall where the closet is. There is a nook on the other side of the chimney with electric outlets. I am thinking of moving my bed and using that little nook as a sewing thing. Maybe put up a spring tension rod and make a curtain to put across there and pull it when I am not working in there.The dhort wall as you come in my room has the dresser and vanity and chest of drawers. I hsve lots of fabric.Too much for my room. So I hav been going through it and seprating it and putting it in Storeage containers and taking it up and neatly stacking it in my attic. The containers are marked as what is in it. I have been putting my thread on a thread rack and organzing my things. I have developed alove of vintage sewing machines. I have them set up and sew diffrent things on the different machines. I am still a work in progress with that room. I'll get there yet. My freind says that with all I am doing in there I don't have time to sew. No I don't. I have been a widow for 21 years and life hasn't been easy. I am partially retired now and want to get this in some kind of order so I can sew.
