Have you come to see what our TQS members designed for their ultimate quilt studio? Well they outdid themselves this time and it would be impossible to list all their advice.  We'll give you a few tidbits here, but then you should visit here to see all kinds wonderful ideas that will make your sewing area a place to get Carol Taylor's Studioyour creative juices flowing.  

Here's just the tip of iceberg in sewing area hints...

A proper height cutting table.

A comfortable chair!!!

I have put wheels on all the furniture in my 20 x 20 space, giving me the flexibility to change configurations as necessary to suit the present purpose.

I'd definitely have to say a portable design wall. 

Remember to consider vertical space in your area. If you have a wall use it to your best advantage. Old fashioned peg-board can be painted and then used to hang things from acrylic rulers, thread racks, etc, to packaged kits.

non-slip and easy to clean flooring, and large windows with semi-transparent blinds.

...One of the best cabinets he added was a 9" wide cabinet for cookie sheets. (She uses it to store rulers.)

DH bought insulation board and I covered it with fleece. It's an inch thick he trimmed it down to 4X5 so it would fit on the wall next to my cabinet.

My Hubby made me a pressing/cutting/storage station out of 2 sideboards. We purchased them ready made from Lowe's.

I have an old 40's ironing board that is pretty solid (not tippy). My husband made a nice topper for it that is 22" wide x 60" long. I covered it with two layers of warm and natural and a nice heavy cotton fabric.

Good lighting is a must. I used track lighting.
