She purchased it in the 50's for her new Necchi machine from the dealer. Brings back many memories. My late Mother-in-law had a cabinet exactly like that!

I've seen some unusual ones, but never one like this one. I have a dedicated room for my sewing. It also has my computer in it. I have three sewing machines. One does embroidery. The other is for sewing while the embroidery is working. The other is just an inexpensive machine that doesn't sew very well. Only thing is, my youngest daughter has borrowed my number 2 sewing machine, so I'll probably never see it again. I absolutely love the sewing cabinet.

I sew, mainly quilts now- but clothes and accessories are thrown into the mix every now and then. Being a quilter- I have ALOT of fabric... I make MANY quilts that I give away as comfort quilt for folks who have lost a loved one- or to someone going thru cancer treatments- or babies in the NICU. I LOVE to sew on the vintage machines. My oldest is a 1907 Singer Red Eye treadle named "Ruby" and I have "Janey" a new zig-zag Janome (I don't really like,it is noisy) and then 3 older 1930-1951 machines I use off & on. I also have a quilting frame and machine... so that's 6 machines. I have taken over one room in the house- and the I got a quilting frame and it took up another room...so I have taken over a bit of space for my fabric & machines. My neighbor has put me in her will so when she dies I get her Touch & Sew machine... I am honored! I put them ALL to good use...Just ask Giz- I am her quilter- she's been over. Yep!

I love it! I have a little window-less room for my sewing. I set it all up nice with shelves and fabric organized by color. But I hate that little room and always drag everything downstairs if I need to sew. Which means I just don't sew. Maybe our next house will be better... What a fun cabinet! I love it!

After moving into the old home place 2 years ago, I designated a part of the attic for my sewing area. I miss no windows, but love the ability to LEAVE THE DANG MACHINE SET UP and no one sets food or homework or mail on it; I have a large table for cutting too. It's not ideal, but works for me. The lovely foam insulation on the walls and around the geothermal heat ducts are a nice visual addition. ha. Your room looks great!

I had forgot about it, I got it years ago and my son used it as a desk. Mine also has little drawers on the front that go all the way back. My son loved to hide his treasures in there. I think I will have to look it up. I have a dedicated room, but right now my machine is sitting in the living room, not the neatest but it is my house so if people don't like it I guess they don't have to look.
