I found all sorts of things when I started renovations. We took out all the internal walls and in the process discovered where there had been doorways in the past. It was easy to find where the house had been added on to over the years. I think you'll enjoy your own sewing space, no matter how small. I agree with Liana, it sounds like this was meant to be and who knows, maybe some previous lady has sat in the same space making clothes for her family.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-90933990339114540402010-02-05T06:18:01.492+10:002010-02-05T06:18:01.492+10:00As we are buying a new house, I'm about to get...As we are buying a new house, I'm about to get a sewing (part-of-a-) room.

You...Yep, those do indeed look to be sewing shears! You can tell by the bent handles. As my handy dandy 1940's guide to household scissors says, "The bent handles allow the blades to lie parallel with the table when cutting out a pattern, making it easier to cut accurately."<br /><br />Maybe this once was someone's sewing room many years ago?Erika Mulvennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02754785341905724718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-32686111382093925332010-02-05T01:46:26.251+10:002010-02-05T01:46:26.251+10:00If the room is too small you won't be able to ...If the room is too small you won't be able to do *everything* in there. `-) Maybe you can still trace and cut in the family area?
