Converted Bunkhouse to Sewing Room

[grayghost03]

New 356TBF, had dealer remove coach and we installed (read built) a manager desk (doors are to narrow to put in when assembled), install shelves in the small closets. Ready to roll.


Plenty of storage on the bunks, and a place for the grand kids to boot.

Creative use of the space, I like it! Gives me reason to think twice about the bunkhouse configured trailers. Not for sewing (although I could see my Mom doing some quilting), but for extended living space.

Thanks for posting.

Wife is a big quilter, embroidery, sewing gal. Needs lots of space, best solution we could come up with. So I can relate

I can totally see DH's gears working up computer room plans when he see's this!

Seriously though, great idea!

Just left of picture range on the very corner of the cutting table, she lets me set my tablet down, of course, if I want to use it, I have to go in the living room. But it would make a great computer or craft room.

Nice! Great idea.

Thanks for showing me a vision of what I was contemplating
for a fly-tying room before I opted for just one large living area.
Weel done!

Wife and I would fight for the space between scrapbooking and fly tying.

When you go camping is it for fishing or scrapbooking conventions? If
for one then the other should have priority. However when the person
for who the trip returns (you from the stream), then the other should relinquish
the room so the returnee can tye newer/more appropriate flies or re-sort the
contents of the scrapbooks to comply with the newer notion fo what is the
"BESTEST/NEWEST" method of re-arrainging all the whatevers ...of course, if
one is providing dinner, then they should always have priority... while the other
cleans up after the meal.

PS, benefit of living solo is I always can set-up the tying materials
whenever...

Fellow Fly Tier's I can relate, but there is a 7 foot table that runs across the back and I may be able to squeeze in a couple of feet. Picture is from my old 5ver, it had a small desk that was MINE.

Nice bitty desk set-up, is that Pearsalls in the box?
What do you favor dry, wet, nymph, flymph or some
other exotic?

Sad part is, for both fly tying and scrapbooking, it's tough to do outside as they both have stuff that the wind can pick up and take away. So the kitchen table is devoted to one or the other, and I seem to lose out a lot (didn't even take stuff for tying last summer).

Nice change... We don't have a bunkhouse, but, for just the two of us, we didn't need a whole dining room. Out with the table and chairs, and, in with the loom and circular weaving machine.



Wife is a spinner and weaver (actually any fiber arts, she's currently a 1st level Temari craftsperson, a Honka or some such). Takes her portable spinning wheel with us (it folds up and goes in the bedroom closet. I get the computer desk...it is enough for me.

Hankaye, depends on the season and the hatch. This past spring (early summer) I got to Colorado and the water temps were still in the 38* F range, so, I tied streamers, to cold for dries, and the water was still big, so nymphs were a little useless. Streamers worked great. I love dries, but I do what I have to do. That's the great part of tying, if they ain't working tie something that does. Heck I have tied streamers for Bass at 5:00 in the morning. Love it.
