I get terribly side tracked while trying to reply to comments. Found you blog by searching for Gmama Jane. Thanks for signing your comment. Any way, I just love those dresses. I have a BOM from last year with something similar. I must get it out. Thanks for the inspiration. I am joining in with Let's Book It over at Vroomen's Quilts.

I loved everyone's suggestions and most of them I've already thought of such as cutting board height, storage, design wall ideas, etc... But I had NOT thought of using vintage dress patterns. I love them and don't know why I hadn't thought of that!! So, with that said, please send me your email address, and full name so I can send you a Fat Quarter shop gift certificate of $30. Please forgive me for being so late but I completely forgot until today. it was like a lightbulb came on and I actually gasped out loud when it dawned on me I had never picked a winner. I've had some rather serious health scares of late so I'll use that as my excuse. I'm going to be Ok if I will lose some weight.<br />Send me your info<br />I probably have your info but just to make sure, send it anyway.<br />Blessings<br />Gmama JaneGmama Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866486725742104875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957256440795827988.post-63270158953715030722014-04-04T00:04:43.206-05:002014-04-04T00:04:43.206-05:00Great flags!

My laptop won't let me post to the blogs for some unknown reason.<br /> I hope your sewing room has lots of wall space. I wish I had invested in some built in cabinets when I moved in this room. Instead, my husband bought me some big furniture, and my space is so limited.

The background fabric is perfect and the dresses are brilliant. <br />An idea for your sewing room, hmmmm. I've admired the pincushion/thread catchers people have made to have next to their sewing machine. I use a small paper lunch bag and masking tape and think the pincushion would be tidy and attractive.

We always called her "firecracker" and she would get so mad . . . Pleasure for us.<br /><br />For your sewing room, I urge you to have plenty of space for cutting out fabric at at least counter height to save your back. It goes without saying that you need lots and lots of space to store your fabrics. Bookshelves on an outside wall are perfect -- you can see what you have and you can tell DH or family and friends that the more fabric you buy, the better the insulation!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065545905446900355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957256440795827988.post-10724165806280618312014-03-31T22:50:50.927-05:002014-03-31T22:50:50.927-05:00I love those dresses!

The other one is adorable and will look cute on the sewing room wall.<br />One thing I would like in a sewing room is two comfortable so you can always have room for a friend to sew with you. Every body gave you such good suggestions that I don't need to repeat. Suffering from Sciatic and had some acupuncture done today. No sewing for me right now.

It's ...I absolutely love your get-dressed flag! It's so pretty and whimsical. And the folded star is awesome. My tip for your sewing room is to decorate it to the hilt with all the colors and the things that bring you joy.(What does your inner child want?) Include a gallery wall with your small wallhangings, hang a prism for rainbows, paint it any color you want, and get a wallpaper border that you love. Sew curtains out of delightful fabric. Cover a huge piece of foam core board with a flannel sheet to make a design wall. Paint a big old picture frame and put cork board in it for a place to post inspirational photos and swapped postcards. Have open shelves to display your pretties and add a tv or music.

I perhaps could use the Get Dressed flag on my wall since I work from home and have been known to stay in my pj's until noon.

I plan to use one to hang my patterns using binder clips on the rings. I like the way the top prongs are tied together and curled over.
