The best addition to my sewing room was donated by my sister-in-law who gave me her old kitchen cabinets when she remodeled. I had to screw two of the lower units together to make one long unit that fits almost the entire length of my sewing room. For the counter top, I went to Home Depot and purchased a 3/4" length of fiber board, bought a length of linolium I found on sale, and glued it to the fiber board.
I keep notions such as sissors, markers ect. in the drawer used for forks & spoons. The bread drawer, and another large drawer are wonderful new storage spaces for patterns. I keep interfacings in the more narrow space for cookie sheets, and fabric in most of the other drawers. The long space allows me to have serger, craft machine, embroidery/sewing machine and computer all on one solid space. I just open a door for my knees to fit in and sew. I did purchase 3 height adjustable chairs, one at each machine. In the upper units I have space for fabric, yarns and more notions. Now my room looks neat and is so well organized, I just love sewing there!

I would like to know where I can purchase a pattern with the 3-piece Chanel sleeve. Claire Shaeffer had a wonderful pattern with Vogue, however it is now discontinued..even E-Bay doesn't have it. Does anyone know of a resource for such a sleeve?
