I donated my ( huge) stash of material to my local senior rest home, because they had a sewing class. They were thrilled to get the material since I was moving out of state.
Thank you for the tour. I got a lot of of ideas to use in my space. ❤️
How fun! loved getting to know you and your special sewing space! So sweet you still have some of your dad's treasures!
Thank you so much, LSC! I'm sending positive vibes to you and your channel!
some of those little items that are of sentimental value, grab a bit of velvet for background, do up a shadowbox so you can see them always instead of just when you open a drawer, would look great in your space
I love this idea!
That was awesome! Have to admit I was a little dubious about this and whether I would enjoy it but I totally did! That is a great room and kudos to judi who helped....she is the master of organization!!! Great job!
So glad you enjoyed it! It was fun to make because it is so personal to me. It felt like I was just having a friend over and showing them around. And yes, Judi is the best!
Oh my goodness. Check your mending box to see if you have anything that goes with your thread ? Genius ! I will say anything that goes with your needles too. Currently I have stretch needles in my sewing machine, serger and cover stitch. So 5 stretch needles and lots of thread. I’m definitely checking before I undo all of that work !
Thank you for this video. It will be a huge help for me when I have space to have a sewing/ craft room. I love your videos. I found you yesterday and I have been binge watching as many as I can. Love the tote bag and t-shirt redesign videos you have. I will put to use the ones on making t-shirts larger. Those are awesome!
Awesome to hear, Cathy! So glad to have you on board!
I sew all the time also, mostly quilting projects and remodeling or making my clothing or darning my sons work clothes. I have 2 sewing tables for sewing machines and sergers, a large cutting table, and my ironing board and iron. I have a huge closet that holds everything from fabric, scraps, and thread to wrapping paper and ribbons to a sewing body form to crocheting supplies, and all my European Christmas ornaments and other Christmas decor and decorations. My room also houses all my painting supplies (I’m also a painter, mostly landscapes). This also doubles as an extra guest room with a Laz y boy sofa/queen bed and night stand. Also houses a large storage armoire and a triple set of Ikea glass doored cabinets that holds more fabric and my fashion doll collection and fabric for their gown making. This room is 13x15 feet and a big closet. I love my room. Only house that I ever had a dedicated craft/sewing room of my own.
That sounds amazing! And so do all your creative pursuits!
Now you have 52 thousand! That's amazing
I love your sewing rom!
ARC they are fantastic. Few years back they launched englush service . I used them for my friend wedding dress she was amazed that I mde custom made dress patern for her.
Yes! Style Arc make great patterns!
And congrats on making a wedding dress. That's not easy!
Thank you for all of your hard work in making all of your videos and your sewing projects!
The mending box and thread that matches is Brilliant! I can’t believe I didn’t already do it! Thank you!
You’re welcome 😊
What a blast to watch this video. Accolades to you on a "well " thought out sewing room system . I'll send to all my sewing friends. Organization really is the key to success! ✂
you have a lovely space, enjoy , congrats with the milestone
I love your videos! They are helping me teach my granddaughter how to upcycle thrift finds she loves. We just refashioned a shirred-top mini dress into a peplum top. Today, we will look at cute ways to embellish her toddler sister's t-shirts with fringe, buttons, ribbon... just for fun. Why not, right?
I just want to say how inspiring you are Catherine. You seem like such a happy person and I think it’s at least partly because you’re constantly creating, constantly becoming inspired to create, and constantly improving your techniques and skills. You are also creating something that is not only useful but fun to wear and you can show off your works of art. Not only that but you are saving the environment not just in your closet but by teaching us how to do it as well. Your gift now has the ability to touch thousands of us and get multiplied as we teach them to others. You’re inspiring me to learn to sew, and teach my daughters as well. I’m even thinking this could be a great career path for one of them. Thank you for all you do here, Catherine. You are a gem! ❤
I am new to your channel & have learned so much! Thank you for your sewing room tour. What was the make & model of your sewing machine. I'm just getting started sewing. My mom & sisters were great in the kitchen & sewing. For me, it isn't so easy. You make everything seem possible. You are inspiring. Thank you.
Nice to have you on board! My machine is a BabyLock Sophia 2.
A great pattern paper is architectural sketch paper. It comes in rolls 12", 18" or 24" wide. It is thicker than pattern paper but still see through. I trace patters on it and then modify the new pattern. My store bought pattern stays intact. Also great for tracing a garment because you can see the seams through it.
Oh, that's interesting. Do you buy the paper in sheets or on a roll? Is it expensive?
Amazing! I love this video. This is exactly what I need to do as well. I have parts of this process in place, but I need to do more to have this kind of sewing space. Thank you so much!
Oh, good for you! It's such a wonderful luxury to have a room for sewing, so if you have it, you might as well make the most of it!
Love your frames of your glasses. Love your sewing space....
I am new to your channel and had started to wonder about your work space. Looks good!
I’m curious about the sewing technique video library project you briefly mentioned working on. I’d love to know if you’re still making it, or if it’s available! ❤😊
Thanks for asking, PJD! Yes, we're still working on it. In fact, I should be working on it today. It's taking way longer than we expected, but hopefully by this summer it'll be ready!
@@CatherineSews That’s going to be a wonderful resource when you’re finished! In the meantime, thank you for all the sewing content you’ve already shared here on TH-cam. I appreciate you! 🌸🌿
Thank YOU Catherine! I’ve learned so much already after only three videos. Good luck with your TH-cam journey! Ann inEngland x
I love this room. Actually I just found this video and it came at a perfect time for me because I had just started to organize some of my sewing things, You gave me some good ideas that I can put to use. Thanks for making this video.
I love your sewing/dressing room. 😊 You have a very Marie Kondo vibe, with your folding method and only keeping what makes you happy.
Lovely cheerful organized sewing space!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks so much for checking out my channel and my sewing room!
We could be best friends! I have the same philosophy and I love the kind of work you do.
I am so like you and your organization. I keep everything in its place or I can’t function
Love these ideas..thanks
I love your organized happy place. It’s so well clean and a happy place.
wow, Just watching this today. You are so organized and have utilized the space very nicely. I live in a small one bdrm apt. and envy you having such a lovely space. I have to drag out my machine when I want to sew. You have been so inspiring and I now am sewing more and more. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for sharing your sewing space! Congrats on your 1000k!!!
Thank you so much! This was a fun video to do because it's my happy place!
@@CatherineSews I know what you mean. Beautiful room!
And I mention you at 20:21!
@@CatherineSews lol. I did miss that. I must have been “yelling” at my son. He was playing the drums and blaring his music during my quiet time after school!!! I went back and watched. Thanks for the mention! I’ll find a way to weave you into one of my videos. I can also add you as a link to my end screen!! Maybe it will help give you a boost to get you monetized!
@@yoursewingteacher1729 Oh, awesome! Thanks so much!
I had a huge stash of material that I donated to a local theatre group. They were happy to receive it. I love those little clear plastic drawers that you have your buttons in… where did they come from? I see that you keep your cone thread in that Max mug behind your machine, I wondered why that was always sitting there.
Is the desk/table you keep your sewing machine on from IKEA? What is it called? TY!
Congrats on 1k!!!! Can't wait until we reach 1k!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!! 🏆👏🍾❤💯
Thank you! And best of luck to you too!
@@CatherineSews thank u!!! 💯❤
I've been subscribed for a while but just came across this video. Thanks for all your inspiration, but especially this video. I have a good room that is organised reasonably well but not so well labelled. I'm inspired to dive in as it's getting cold in Sydney, Australia, and I need indoor things to do 🤣😂
Hi Catherine i like the way, you presenting every video with passion and love to sewing and teaching . Even , people they don't know how to sew ,learn very fast from you. Tank you .
Kamilla Windsor On. Canada
Where did you get your chair? That one looks perfect, as I’m currently looking for a new one. Adjustable height, wheels, swivel?
I got it from Wayfair. It has lasted really well!
Hey you! 'Sew' proud of you and all you've accomplished so far on this channel! You are an inspiration for sure. And thank you for the BreakThroughColour shout out! The Colour Cards look right at home in your sewing room, and what an honour to know they're there for you as part of such a colourful and creative space. Besos!
Thank you! And do you love my rainbow heart wall hanging? I thought it was right up your alley!
@@CatherineSews Yes! I watched that video right after it was posted. And the Rainbow Pennant Banner in your classroom is fabulous too. Inclusivity abounds!
I recently found your channel. I absolutely love love it. I will use some of your tricks to organize my multifunctional sewing/craft/ wfh office /tv exercise and plant room to facilitate more sewing and knitting.
Thank😂
Congratulations, Sister!! =)
Thanks, bro!! Your support has always been amazing. And so is your channel!! I know you'll get to 1K SOON!!!!
@@CatherineSews Thank you for your encouragement!!!
Oops, I 'd better finish unpacking and organizing from a recent move that involves major down sizing. Great inspiration, thanks
Thank you for the tour. Love your organizational ideas. Where did you get the table top light/magnifying light, as well as the wall containers?
Thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment! The magnifying light is from LeeValley.com and the organizers are from Ikea.
@@CatherineSews thank you for replying . I am a quilter - learned to sew in high school, many, many years ago😂- but came across your channel and love your content. I look forward to your other postings. Have a great day
@@anandabalasana thanks so much. It's lovely comments like yours that help keep me going!
Greetings from Mississauga. I am very new to sewing and really appreciate the tips & tricks you employ. Thanks sew much!
I think my Mom had the same green sewing box - great memory. Your sewing room is nice and bright and well organized. Would be a pleasure to be in there.
Great tour & fantastic organizing! Thanks for sharing. You’re teaching is fun to follow. I love up cycling clothes, especially cottons! My skin loves cotton but not synthetic clothing. I use a compartment fishing tackle box for my threads & sewing tools. My father once won a fishing tackle box, but didn’t fish (he was a farmer), so my mom claimed it for her sewing box. As long as the trays open up, you can see all your thread colors, etc.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Catherine, I just subscribed. Was wondering where you got your button acrylic drawers (21:21).
Hi PAG, I'm so happy to have you on board. I got those little drawers from a Japanese store in Richmond BC called Daiso.
@@CatherineSews Thank you. I have a Daiso nearby too.
I've switched to using mostly clips over pins.
I love your room! Thank you for the tour. So inspiring!
Catherine, Thank you for your videos. Long time sewer and seamstress, but self taught. Learn something new from you frequently! The last 2 links in your item list don’t pull up anything. Could you fix, please?
Cheryl from Montana
Thanks so much for letting me know! The links should be working now. I'm so glad you find my channel helpful!
This is fun to watch! I’ll watch it again…and again, and again! I just retired and I’m getting back to sewing, knitting, crafting, etc. This gave me a lot of ideas for organizing all in the same space! In the process of downsizing now and all my supplies have been stuffed into a corner of my bedroom for when I get to that room! Can hardly wait to move forward with it all now - very encouraging site!
Thanks so much, Brenda! Enjoy setting up your own space!
Hi Catherine! Loved this tour - what a nice space you have. Cheers! ~ Angela
Hi Angela! Thanks for watching, and congrats on starting your own channel! I checked it out and it looks great. I wish you the best of luck with it!
my sister had the same sewing box when she got married
That's a sweet room! Thanks 😊
Congrats on reaching 1000 subscribers! You deserve 1000s more!
Thanks so much!
You rely need to do something with your hair. Your hairstyle unfortunately is from the 90"s. The longer version of the Rachel from comedy show Friends.
You really need to work on your manners, grammar and spelling.
this is sewing , not beauty chanel.
Sorry but it goes hand and hand.
Was this really necessary? Out of all the information she covered this is what you have to say? Would you want your words plastered on the internet about you? Be kind. She is lovely. I hope you can be one day.
@@darlenewilkins6998 Yes it was. She's a lovely woman that needs a little update. I would not have a problem with constructive criticism. My advise to you is get your panties out of a bunch.
