Do you have your own sewing room or area of a room that you don't have to move projects from every day? If so post pics and tell us about it. How did you create this nook if it wasn't a whole room. Right now I have to sew at the kitchen table and move my projects at night for dinner. I end up eating for dinner or lunch or eating next to it fearing that I(or the kids) will spill food on it. Why is it the guys get their own office but we moms don't get our own room.

There's a thread in "general craft discussion" talking about just this sort of thing!

Where do you do your crafting?

I have a room of my own which is my library/office/sewing room. DH also has an office (but he does own his own small business, so he actually NEEDS one). His office is downstairs in the "man cave" and mine is upstairs where the bedrooms, living room, and kitchen are.

In our last house which was smaller, I kept my fabric in a dresser in the "office" and bought a folding sewing cabinet which we used as an end-table by the couch during the day. I still use that for my sewing machine though I never really close it up anymore.

yes, but it's tiny

Yes. I am ridiculously lucky in that I have a rather large dedicated sewing area in my house. My fabulous DH gutted and renovated his "Man Cave" for me and now it's all mine. He custom built my cutting table and desks to fit me and my machines.

Here are some pictures. My favourite place in the house. This is also only a small portion of my fabric. Maybe about 1/3 or it all. Of course it isn't this clean all the time.

Thanks for letting me share.

I also sewed on my kitchen table for years, which is how I got into the habit of having "picnic lunches" on a sheet with my kids on our kitchen floor--so that I wouldn't have to clean off the table! They loved it, and clean-up consisted of a shaking of the sheet into the grass.

I just graduated from an apartment to a house and finally have a space for a designated craft table in our extra room (at least until I have to give up the room for a future child). I'm trying to figure out how to organize all my stuff, though. It's just stacked all over--the floor, bookshelves, on the table.. Open to suggestions.

And oh, Chey, I am drooling over your crafting room.

my sewing/craft room is soooo unorganized. i do have wallshelving my husband made that holds my yarn and one that holds about half of my fabric. but i have my computer in there too, which that takes up a counter.. i have another counter which holds my sewing machine and serger. then in totes i have my finnished products and craft fair supplies..lol.. oh and pattern books stacked all over.. then another counter for scrapbooking.. but the problem is, its a very very small room.

I have a sewing corner in the basement, and it's eternally messy! We just started the process of finishing off another section of our unfinished basement- Once that's done, my husband's "man room" will move into there and I'll have a nice big room with a DOOR to sew in!!! I can't wait. For now, here's a pic of my nook- This pic is a few months old and my fabric stash has long since outgrown that dresser!

I wish I had a sewing room, but i do not and that is probably why my machine is now collecting dust in the closet, I used to sew at the kitchen table but the more kids I had the less room I had, we now squeeze 7 people into a 900 sq ft house, luckly my best friend just added an addition to her house as a craft room and it is huge so I am going to get a little space in there for my sewing. I can not wait till the day we get a bigger house os I can have my own space
