Re: What does your sewing space look like?

My sewing room is in my attic which is the full length of the house. I have a large cutting table made from a collapsible bazaar table with blocks under the legs to raise it to a comfortable level. My sewing machine table is made from two doors that are placed in a 90 degree formation where I sew and serge on one side and quilt on the other. I use the handle holes for the cords. I have plugs all along the ceiling and my 'closet' is a set of dowels hanging from the ceiling as well. Along the outside of the walls I have open shelves where my bolts of fabric, pattern boxes and miscellaneous stuff goes. This is what I would like to see changed. I would have preferred actual shelves with doors and drawers to hide the inevitable mess that occurs. I also have storage behind the walls that extends into the eves but the doors are cumbersome and the bending is a back breaker so I only use the space for seasonal items or the the 'someday' stuff. If I could have doors that easily swing open, I might be more inclines to use the space and that would make more room under my cutting table.

All in all, its not a bad setup. Now if I could just be consistently motivated I would get more sewing down and maybe make those changes.
