Flickr finds - sewing corner

This post was the result of this email from Mel: "I have recently purchased a sewing machine to get back into that whole game and am looking for inspiration on how to set up a little designated sewing space. I live in inner-city Sydney so space is not my friend, however for the time being I can carve out a little space in a spare/studio/play room before baby number three arrives in December."

I sway, this is so wonderful. I will send you some photos of my room.

I stay in India and you will find my mom's old sewing machine, my books and the table fan and what not. The small temple with incense sticks spreading the fragrance.

I am sure you will love it. Will send you in some days, cause my camera is missing, huh.

As someone who sewed in a professional shop, I don't understand why so many of these photos don't have enough table space on the left side of the machine to rest fabric on. It would make things a hell of a lot more difficult!

I can say from experience, though, that card catalogue drawers are dead useful for sewing.

I can't wait for a space like this!

Where did you find so many sewing niche pics? Some of them are absolutely adorable!

[Ann Forstie]

Hey!! Thanks for including the pic of my little unassuming sewing corner! I'm a regular reader and was surprised and delighted to see my name and photo in this post.

Stunning collection!
Kim, where can I find that orangey stripe bedspread?

Og my gosh -they are great! But how do you sew with a machine table against the wall? I would love to know because it would make the use of space for mine so much smaller but I need to pass large pieces of goods across the table to continue the seams... huh...

Thanks so much Kim! lots of beautiful spaces and much food for thought :)

I've always wanted a sewing room. Thanks for sharing these pictures, I'm not inspired to turn the spare bedroom into a sewing haven. I have to agree with Tasha, though. I wonder how they've done their cutting/pinning. I suppose the floor is always handy.

I don't sew (it's on my life list of things to learn) but I am ga-ga for those library card catalogs. I want one SO BAD. I work in a library, too, so they frequently see me stalking the "discards" room for one.
