I got this book when we were in the process of buying our house where I would be blessed with my own sewing room. Preparing a sewing room promised to be expensive, but in addition to the standard ideas for doing the room, this book also gave many inexpensive yet stylish and convenient ways to set up the room. I love it and will not part with it, even after the room is finished. I'm sure I'll use this reference for as long as I sew!
Lots of Practical Ideas

This book was an excellent resource for planning my sewing room in the spare bedroom of my new house. I bought it long before I moved into my new space and it had terrific ideas I could use in my existing kitchen corner sewing area. Once I moved, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and I was able to convert my old kitchen and office furniture to a fabulous space for myself. You'll never want to buy one of those lame prefab sewing consoles once you see the spaces in this book. Excellent ideas for all types of storage depending on how you work and what type of sewing you do. Even if you only have a closet or a corner, this book will inspire you.
This Book is INVALUABLE to anyone who sews!

This book is chock-full of floor plans for sewing spaces ranging from the size of closets to suite-size sewing areas. For every good idea, there's a detailed how-to diagram or explanation on how to achieve it yourself. Lots and lots of great organizational suggestions and rationale. Beautiful color pictures and great illustrations to help you achieve the sewing space you want without costly mistakes. I am most grateful to the author for exactly the book I needed. Highly recommend!!!
