My sewing room is just over 10×12. It has a sofa bed so can double as a second guestroom if needed. It also has an ensuite. Very handy if I get caught short and also for cleaning my paint brushes. I redecorated it last year in a sea theme and recently swapped my old french wardrobe I was using for storage, for a larger model. My dummy gets conveniently tossed on the top when not in use. My desk is a good 6×3 and solid oak. I can cut out on it, or if I need more space, I use a cutting out board on the bed in the guest room.
 If I have full skins of leather they get stored in there too. Just out of shot I have an enormous chrome ceiling fan. It gets hot here in the summer and table fans tend to blow the threads around on my machines.







 This room is quite pared back, decor wise. My sewing room in our last house had an Egyptian theme. ( But then I was making belly dance costumes.)

In my dreams I'm still sewing....and also in my nightmares.

Wow what a lovely space @Hideout Hen and so organized and tidy. I could happily live there!

Thank you. I'm one of those people who can't work in a mess. I have to tidy as I go or I can't concentrate.  :)

That's a lovely room. Unfortunately I'm a messy worker so my sewing room is never tidy so I can only admire your tidiness.
So many beers, so little time.

Gorgeous!  I'm a tidy Virgo and would love to have your sewing room!
I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well

I'm a very untidy Virgo who loves neatness and tidiness but never quite achieve it for myself!!  :P

Oh me too, @realale !  Even DD, who's a really untidy person, was shocked at the state of my sewing room last time she was here  :embarrassed:

Yours is gorgeous @Hideout Hen   - love the picture on the door x

Thank you. I painted it in acrylics. Almost had a disaster moment when I went to varnish it, and it started pulling the paint off!  :scream:

What a great room. Storage is always my problem.

That's a beautiful room, I so wish I could keep mine so clear like that. My main problems are that my DH is a hoarder, not of useful stuff just crap (I'm very sorry to say he's got dementia)! I get sick of seeing it and the clutter it creates so I dump everything in there so I can slowly sneak it out (he doesnt go in there, he accepts it's my space). The other problem is I collect sewing machines and I've got too many I do use them all when I get chance to get in there so it's stuff I do use not rubbish.

Gorgeous, and such good storage.  I have open shelves for my clutter and, while accessible, they really are dust traps.
