When I set this up last summer it was so that I could make cushions for my patio swing. The outdoor fabric was so stiff and hard to maneuver that I needed room to spread out. For that project I used my vintage mechanical sewing machine.
This summer I decided to set up my Kenmore 19233 out there. I'll mostly be sewing quilt blocks out there.
I also have a card table and a ironing board that I set up when needed.
The end of the porch where I'm standing to take these pictures has a 6 foot porch swing with a nicely padded cushion. A nice place to take an afternoon nap. And a bamboo blind I can roll down to keep out the sun. So even before I added the sewing machine, it was already my favorite "room" in the house.
How lovely! Sounds magical.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea, sewing outside. And your view is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds heavenly! One question, what is below the porch? In other words, how do you deal with dropped pins? 8-D
ReplyDeleteBelow is another porch. I haven't had a problem with that yet :)
DeleteHow glorious! Last summer I did a similar set up at my moms whe I was looking after her. You've inspired me to set it up at my own home. Sewing and fresh air- I like it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! When I move, I tjink I will set up in the Arizona room for the winter.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so jealous! It must be so lovely and relaxing to sew in such a tranquil environment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious place to sew!
