Re de cluttering, I am not sure so often I ahve given things away and lived to regret it! Mind you yesterday I gave a friend 24 paint sticks that I have not used for years, now will I regret that I wonder! Like the idea of a desk for the sewing machine, maybe I will keep an eye open for one of those myself. Re the cutting table, I cut on m y work tops as I find a table is a bit low but your table is a great size, giving me ideas here as well, maybe a couple of books under each leg would work for me.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-2283512639323154872013-08-11T15:08:49.500+10:002013-08-11T15:08:49.500+10:00Sue, the room is 10 feet x 10 feet...not very big,...Sue, the room is 10 feet x 10 feet...not very big, and so very important to keep it in order. <br />hugs<br />Jenny<br />x<br /><br /><br />Jenny of Elefantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775654415138120426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-48416646250917128532013-08-11T15:03:19.502+10:002013-08-11T15:03:19.502+10:00Carol, that's a great idea for you taller girl...Carol, that's a great idea for you taller girls!<br />I'm a wee 5'1" so no need to raise the table. :-)<br />hugs<br />Jenny<br />Jenny of Elefantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775654415138120426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-4545192179566359422013-08-11T11:29:40.733+10:002013-08-11T11:29:40.733+10:00Spring must be in the air, I spent the day declutt...Spring must be in the air, I spent the day decluttering my sewing room too.

I use bed risers that my son had when he lived in a college dorm for extra room under his bed. They work great to make my dining room table a cutting table. They are about 6" tall and the table legs fit on top of them. Other people use PVC cut to raise your type of table legs.

Add to it grandkids this week who were also "creating" in my space and I was reduced to about 6 inches of usable space! As I took pictures of them, I realized what a wreck my room has become!

A the lumber yard, you can purchase insulation board, cover it with pretty fabric, put it against the wall (like behind your sewing desk) then you can hang whatever you want on it, and not touch the wall. Win-win! You get to hang something, the landlord doesn't get any holes in his walls.

The only thing I would change would be to raise the cutting table height. Bed risers are good for that is you have access to them or plastic pipe cut to an appropriate length for each leg to fit in works well too.

It is on it's way, with all my stash sorted into plastic boxes in colour order, but I still have FAR TOO much of everything! I am blessed to have a spare bedroom to have as my sewing room, and I end up sewing out on the dining table all the time! May I ask how big your room is please? As I am getting some great ideas from your "purge" etc. Thankyou again for being willing to share your ideas with us.
