Sew Fun LOL – Studio6229

So I posted on Monday how excited I was when the crew showed up to dig up the area for the footings. The folks worked all day. Tuesday I awoke thinking they would be at the house by 7:30 am. Guess what they didn’t come. Wednesday they arrived and made the form for the base of the footings, today they poured the cement for the walls. It’s funny to me how construction works.

I am so excited and I think they are working at a snails pace. They how were think they are working quickly. Do they realize I have waited for years for the dream sewing room? Well to them it is there lively hood; to me I can’t wait.

Not sure what happens tomorrow so stay tuned for more fun at the Ferraro house.

Hi Everyone: So here is what the space looks like today. I started off in an 8 x 10 corner room – no windows but was able to put in L-shaped cabinets. All was going well until I bought too much stuff. I have the same amount of space across the hall and it is only for fabric. I put my cutting tables and ironing board in the family room, then Lindsay moved out and I took her room which is 12 x 12. You can see by the pictures that I just moved tables into it. So I am moving from 2 small rooms and some space in the family room to one large space….keep reading there will be more posts coming up as we progress with the project…Ferraro Exist cab & equip photos (1)

It has been quite a busy couple of weeks.  Conceiving and drawing the perfect sewing room To signing an agreement.  

Conceptually I knew what I wanted so how do I tell a builder what it should look like.  As a visual person myself I had to work out the design.  So I did like most people do and did an online search for a 3D program that will allow me to design and see the room.  

I found Homestyler.com and it was good enough for what I needed.   I promptly entered in my room size and then added doors, walls, a bathroom and the furniture.  Homestyler didn’t have actual sewing furniture so I improvised with dining tables and other items roughly the same size I then took my design and made it 3D. 

I called GM Roth designers in New Hampshire and went up to visit them.  Gerry is terrific, he came to the house measured where I wanted the room, he took pictures and measurements off everything that I had and then he created the architect plans. 

It only took us a coup,e of revisions and last Thursday he submitted plans to the town for approval. 

So now my job is to figure out flooring, paint etc.   stay tuned tomorrow and I will update you on the adventures of flooring.
