We almost never have anyone over for dinner, nor do we sit at a dinner table regularly in our house. So, I re-purposed our dining space to be a sewing space for me. I also have two desks and switched back to the smaller desk for keyboard room which leaves the larger desk to act as a cutting table. It is just the right size! The pantry to the right of the cleaning closet (bi-fold door) is huge and contains much of my fabric, patterns, and other sewing stuff. Not much food is in my pantry! Hope you enjoy this little tour...

| Sewing area. When sewing, I set up the ironing board on the brown rug so that I can swivel in my rolling desk chair to press while sewing. |
|
 |
| Sewing machine on the table Mom gave me. It's got a handy raised section to the left so that fabric is better supported. |
 |
| Supply cart and bulletin board. This blocks a cleaning closet and since the cart is on wheels, it is easy enough to roll it out of the way should I want to vacuum or mop. |
 |
| Desk to the right of my sewing machine. Duffy's kennel is easy to move when I am cutting out a project. The half shelf under the desk is currently home to my pressing ham. The green toolbox on the floor to the left contains all my immediate-need sewing tools - such as scissors, pins, needles, etc. |
 |
| Desk drawers - left contains tools and rotary cutters and the center drawer (keyboard tray) has my rulers and seam roll. All but one huge ruler fit into the drawer. |
 |
| Desk surface - left is a small (yellow) rotary mat that swivels for quick cuts while at my sewing machine. The top of the desk is a good size for my large rotary mat. Shown are three projects - sleeves on the left for a blouse in progress, a wallet, and a blouse to make. |

| Closeup of next two projects - a zipping wallet and a blouse with a faux cowl out of a soft, rosy rayon from Walmart. |
