Also I like your space, you could put another shelf above the one already there. The only space you have left if vertical.LOL

To clean an iron that is just metal (not teflon), I have a brown paper bag, dump in a handful of table salt. Then, run a hot iron around in the salt until the metal is clean. The salt can be kept and reused.
I am still searching for a quick, easy way to clean a teflon iron. I have an iron that got some fusible on it. Yuck!
My hubby plans to build a shelf for the corner, so I have a place to put the boxes of projects for easy access.
Above the wall shelf is SUPPOSED to be pics of my grandkids, but that project somehow isn't getting done1 You can see my kids in my avitar.

I think I got it from Clotilde sewing . Try www.boash.com or E-mail: [email protected].
This reasonably priced and you don't need to use a whole sheet

Thank you!
P.S. It is not neccesary to fill all the above requirements...

My sewing room is a portion of my bedroom. My long cardboard table with my sewing machine and notions sits in front of my dresser (can't get any clothes now) and my ironing board is set next to my bed. However I do have a house in Arizona with a room for quilting, but I only get there 3-4 times a year. I look forward to retirement so I can use my quilting room!
