The sewing room is finally being done. Mr. Walls finally finished my sewing table. I asked for a L shaped table and that is what he built me. I knew I wanted a L shape for cutting projects and have long been wanting a serger. My dream serger is $1500. But since I never really used a serger, I was not sure if spending that sort of money was a good investment. Imagine my joy when I found out that somebody was trying to sell their Viking serger for $200! I was happy to snatch that one up. It is a great beginning machine. While it does not have the cover stitch nor is it self threading like my dream machine, it is a great basic machine and good quality. Once the room is finished, I will be serging away. But first, I have to figure out how to thread it.
On Wednesday we all went to Ikea to find storage solutions for my sewing room. I have been selling some unused odds and ends around the houses to fund this project. So I was very happy to buy some wall shelves and a rod to hang my things on. As I write, Mr. Walls is putting the finishing touches on the rods and shelves. I will need to return to Ikea ( insert happy squeal) to buy more storage shelves for my fabrics, books, and notions. I just have to figure out exactly what I want. I hope to post pictures soon.
