The Beginning of a Sewing Area

I have wanted to create a sewing area for myself somewhere in my house for quite some time. I am sick of having to get my sewing machine out of the closet every single time I want to use it. This is my craft/sewing closet.

"Is that a karaoke machine?" you ask. Hell, yeah.

This setup isn't efficient. By the time I get everything out, one of the kids needs something or wakes up from their nap. So I started looking around for a little space to at least leave my sewing machine set up.

I decided this would do for now. It's in the corner of my dining room right between the fireplace and the door out onto our deck. It gets a lot of natural light, and I'll be warm in the winter.

Now I had to find a table. I went into the basement and started hunting around. I found the first dining table my husband and I ever owned from our first apartment. The table actually belonged to my husband's grandfather. It was set up in the waiting room of his dental office many years ago. It's kind of falling apart, and it's a little small, but it will do for now.

So here is my new sewing corner. I would like to add a little cupboard to the left for fabric and supplies. I'll let you know when I find one.
