Here are some pictures of my present studio or "cubicle" as I refer to it. A 7 ½ x11 ft room added onto our mobile home. As you can see, I end up working among many piles of fabric, projects, and greenhouse stuff. A future studio using most of a 12 x 56 ft mobile home is in the works... I can't wait for space to work!!! Fabric and tubs of finished inventory also spills out into the small office next to this room as well as most every other room.
The tour begins at the right side of the door. This is my second machine, only will work for free-motion stitching. The newer of my two working machines. The "table" is a piece of formica counter top that a hole was cut into to fit my machines. The formica makes a great slippery surface for moving projects around for free-motion work.
This view is of my TV in the corner, if you can see it under the piles on the shelf over it. The rest of the wall seen in the first photo. Note where my serger is.... I don't use it too much, mostly just to make napkins to match my place mats and table runners.
This is my main machine. I enjoy being able to look out the windows while working. My husband made this table especially for my Singer Touch & Sew machines so I have a large, flat work surface. Ironing board is just to the left.
The rest of the wall my main machine is on showing my ironing board. I had my husband cut a piece of plywood that I covered with Teflon for a large ironing surface. The drywall wall has become a makeshift bulletin board to pin up ideas, etc. You can see part of my design wall on the left. You can also see how much room I have to move around in between Ironing board and cutting table.
This is my design wall. A piece of plywood on piano hinge covered with flannel. A new one in my new future studio will be of foam for sticking pins into. Behind the wall is the rest of the wall to wall shelves that can be seen on each end. Some journal quilts are here waiting to be put on the sleeve for Houston show.
My custom made fabric shelves made by my husband to my specifications. I had them made to hold my fabric as I fold it after ironing, ready for rotary cutting. I try to organize it by color, but most of the time things don't get back in the proper places. This photo also shows my cutting table. On wheels, so I can move it out of the way to get the design wall open to get to items on the shelves behind (things that I don't need often), or to access the fabric on shelves behind the table. A few of the cubby holes are used to stuff scraps into while I am cutting things out.
