…and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel if you enjoyed this video. It really helps me out as I work towards building my channel. 🥰
Thank you and I appreciate you spending time here on my channel today! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I love that you are a minimalist, I am too. I have a small room, so it helps not to have unnecessary things.
So true! It makes a world of difference. 💜🙏
I purchased that Kenmore used, my mom's old Singer sewing machine,- was driving me crazy! But that Kenmore was a Beast!
It is a beast yes! 🙌
Your sewing room is so beautiful, organized and inviting. I am moving into an older house with a small room for sewing. You have given me so many ideas. Thank you for sharing. So glad I found your channel and can’t wait to see your creations.
I am so glad this was helpful and congrats on your home move! I know you'll create a special place for sewing! ✨
This is the most beautiful sewing room I've ever seen 😍
This is so kind of you, thank you!
What a nice, light, well organised space to work in and such a lovely view. I completely get what your saying about lighting. I have a spare room that I could sew in, but I always seem to end up working at the kitchen table because the lighting is better.
100% agree-we go where the light is!
So peaceful and inviting!
I finally moved my sewing out of the guestroom into the playroom/school room area and I am really enjoying the extra space and using the ping pong table as a cutting table. With a mat, of course. But it is huge and awesome, allowing me to lay out the whole length of fabric and all the pattern pieces at once to get the best layout. I had no idea when we got it for the kids it would turn out to be such an asset for me 😂.
Love to see how you organize your supplies.
Oh yes, what a great way to repurpose a ping pong table! A great tip for anyone who can find one second hand, too. 🤔
I, too use my ping pong table but mine sits on top of our pool table with blankets in between and 2 large mats on top. It’s the perfect height for cutting and doing large projects. One day, my grandson asked me if I knew there was a pool table underneath? He was older then, so I cleared it all off and the grandkids played that weekend with the newly found tables! But after that weekend, they’ve never wanted to play again. My tables quickly turned into sewing tables!
@@nancyhurt7145 Yesterday I was doing some hand-sewing, and I sat by the ping-pong table... you are right, the height is perfect, I hadn't thought of that. Even for hand-sewing, having the project closer to my eyes was very helpful.
Wow, I’m so in awe of the beauty and simplicity of your space and organizational design! It seems like a very functional layout with distinct zones including your clever cutting table! Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you so much for your kind words! That means a lot because I know you focus on that kind of organization. 😊💜
Such a lovely space!!! Bravo. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! 💜🙌
A tip I wanted to share, as I am working my daughter's wedding dress, is to bring your ironing board close to the sewing machine to help support the weight of the garment. I also used the dress form, keeping the skirt pinned to it and turning as I went so I could sew the hem without the fabric pulling weirdly.
Fantastic ideas, for heavy or delicate fabrics. Thank you for sharing this--I know I will definitely keep this in mind! 💜
First of all, if you were a bird, you'd be an "Awesomer"! So organized. I'm a senior who is just starting to learn this stuff to add to my hobby interests. You're videos are organized, concise and informative. And I love your style and delivery. A few comments,... 70s is vintage? I feel so vintage. haha. And also, what a view out of the window. I wondered how hard it is to get anything done with a view like that to grab your attention and steal your thoughts. Lastly, thank you for sharing your ideas, techniques and insights. I'll keep watching because I learn from you and have confidence in your opinions and insight.
Aww, thank you! You are an awesomer, too! And yes, they do say that 70's is vintage, which puts me in that category, too, believe it or not. 😆 And as for the view, well, I do try to take it in, especially in the mornings before I start my day, and the evenings before bed and it definitely grabs my thoughts. All in a good way, though!
Love your sewing space, absolutely gorgeous. The wall paper is lovely and how clever was it to frame the gift paper, I thought it was fabric. Absolutely adorable.
Thank you so much! I appreciate this !💜
Love your minimalist approach. Also using what you have available in your home. Good example for us all
Thanks so much! ✨
Absolutely gorgeous! Very comfortable & cheerful. Love the patterns & colors that you’ve used.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words! 😁✨
Love your sewing area.. regarding the beautiful small scissors, you can spray paint them and make a cute wall decor✂😍
Great idea!! Thank you!
New subscriber for sure! I have the same ironing board which I love. And use as a work table, set perpendicular to my main sewing machine. I do quilting and home dec sewing, so I use the iron a lot. I’m OBSESSED with those carts and have been trying to decide which ones to get, especially while they’re on sale at Michael’s. Love your space. You’ve created a serene space which is lovely. Can’t wait to watch future videos!
Thank you so much! I am also glad to hear you are also a big fan of the ironing board. It's fantastic! Thanks for your kind note! 😊
I have been researching ways to put together my sewing room and I must say out all that I've seen your set up has inspired me to move forward with my project. Your tools and individual items have given me great ideas and will be perfect to be more productive with my projects and the overall use of my space. Look forward to seeing more of you.
I am so glad to hear this, and thank you for your kind words! ✨🙏
This is so beautiful! I love your taste!
Thank you, you are too kind! 😁
Loved your sewing room tour. The view from your window is beautiful. I have been sewing for more than 50 years. Love to watch tours in hopes of gleaning new sewing knowledge. I will, as of this video, start marking patterns that I have made along with other relative info.Thanks.
Thank you so much! 😀
What a lovely video, with a calming voice ❤
Thank you so much, I appreciate this! 😊
Wow, that is a stellar view that would tempt me to move the main sewing area to the window! Love the flock of scissors scattered throughout and that your kiddos hang out with you there. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks so much for your sweet note! I initially considered the view as a great spot for the main sewing area, and the only thing holding me back is the direct sun on the back of my machine, day after day. Not ruling it out completely though! 😁
Beautiful room with a wonderful view. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your sweet note and I appreciate you watching! ☺️
You have an amazing set up. Thank you for the tour, definitely is informative for someone intending to learn about sewing 😁
Glad it was helpful!
Great ideas I'm learning from you. What a great space. I am ugrading from my kitchen table project space to a room. Great ideas for organizing and supplies. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats on the new space! Enjoy setting it up! ✨🎉
Love it. Very creative to make your happy place.
Thank you! 😊
Wow!! what a beautiful sewing room. I also have a sewing room and for me its the best place to be in. Awesome video!
Thanks so much! I am so glad to hear you have a space you love, too. 💜
Thank you for showing me your beautiful room/s.
My pleasure and thank you for your kind note!
😍 ...how nice. I saw the photo and had to watch the video immediately. I felt like I was in the Bennet family home from Pride and Prejudice ❤ Everything is so romantic, dreamy and loving. Your studio is enchanting 🥰
This makes me so happy, thank you! 🙏 😊
I love your sewing room! The use of the IKEA carts is ingenious (I have several for other purposes) and I'll have to try that. You have a beautiful and simple space.
Thanks so much! And I agree about the carts. I just ordered a third for another room. Can’t get enough! 😁
The ironing/workstation is such a good idea!
Love multi-purpose spaces! ✨
Wow your rooms are beautiful. I need to get into mine and get organising 😊
Thanks for your kind note! Having a clear out and organising session can definitely help get the creative motivation going. 🪡
What a beautiful space!!!
Re: used sharps, I take them to the drs office and dispose of them in the receptacles for medical recycling.
Smart cutting table solution… clever!
Doctors office-yes, so smart! Thank you! 😊
Luxury sewing room 😍
It is a treat! ✨🙏
I love your space.
Thank you!
Very nice room., very minimal and neat. My sewing room has three machines plus cabinets of yarn, my antiques and art, things I have made over the years etc. I do many crafts besides sewing. The opposite of yours but it suits me and I keep it very organized and tidy. I collect vintage fabrics, lace, trims and things. I have over 100 button cards. It is fun to see others rooms.
Ohh, your sewing room sounds incredible! I *love* a layered room with collections, and vintage and antique finds. The inspiration is in those details, and it sounds lovely! 💜
Absolutely beautiful thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! 💜
That wallpaper is crazy beautiful. Sigh.
What a lovely sewingg world you have
Thank you!
You can resharpen scissors with aluminum foil. Really! For small scissors fold the foil into 2 or 3 layers. Then, just cut it several times. Not a perfect fix, but, it works good enough. For larger scissors use 4 or 5 layers.
This is so helpful, thank you! I am definitely going to give this a try this week!
Beautiful inspiring work space
Thank you so much! ✨
Morgan Donner has a video on projector for patterns ;)
Oh thanks for this tip! 💜
That batik book is amazing
Yes! So, so good and such a lucky find! 💜
Just found you! I’ve been sewing for decades and it’s great to see a young sewist taking on interesting projects and appreciating good tools and fabric! I’m sure many more people will find you 😊. Question- what weight is you lightweight printer paper and where do you find it? I bought 18lb (vs. standard 20lb), but it feels virtually the same.
Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate this so much! 😀 Great question about the paper. I think we use the same 18lbs printer paper (HP Eco/Recycled brand). I agree it doesn’t feel much thinner from standard 20lbs. I’m always on the lookout however!
I have the Kenmore 1814 ZigZag! My Home Ec teacher gave it to me when I was the “Secretary” at the middle school I worked at. She retired when they stopped teaching Home Ec and Shop classes. She said that was a mistake ☹️ I love my machine it has never broken down.
That was back in late 80’s or early 1990’s. I guess I’m vintage too 😊
Oh wow! What a great machine to have! Definitely a gem. 💎 💜
Beautiful spaces. Thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Hi Cleo, great to see such an organised sewing space, I love the built in drawers to store patterns, great idea. question - what is the brand/name of the cherry blossom wallpaper? it really makes the space peaceful :-) thank you from Australia. PS just read your contribution to In Her Studio.
I am so glad you saw the In Her Studio article! ☺️and great question about the wallpaper. It’s something from Amazon here in the US. Inexpensive peel and stick, and not actually paper! Not sure if this link will work in Australia but worth a try: amzn.to/48DVNt8
I use a make-up brush to clean my machines too! Mine came free with a magazine. It's beautifully soft, and perfect for getting into all the nooks and crannies. I also have some of the Japanese poppy linen, in the orange colour. It's so beautiful isn't it! I haven't used it as I'm afraid I'll cut it out and realise the pattern is one way - despite me spending hours looking at it and I'm certain it isn't 😆
Make up brushes for the win! 🙌 The poppies are gorgeous. I may wait until next spring and then just go for it. We will have to make something sometime!
Perfeito e organizada. Parabéns querida
Thank you!
I would swap the office area to the alcove place the sewing area in its place. Take the sofa out …(rest is good in other rooms) place the cutting area in its place. Switch the serger to take out as you needed it or add to the larger sewing table. My sewing space is limited to one room or else the others I live with wouldn’t like it. Sears Amazon for projectors …they have them.
These are great ideas for a sewing space, thank you!
Could you tell me where you bought your accessories box! Love how visible the little cabinet is and would love to get one.Your sewing space is beautiful, really enjoy your content!🌈💕
Thanks for your kind comments! 💜✨The accessories box came with my machine. I’ve tried to do a search for custom boxes for different types of presser feet, so it might be worth a search! 🤗
Your sewing room is lovely. It's beautiful in its simplicity. It's looks like a peaceful place. Putting risers on the chair at your sewing table and turning a door into a cutting table are great ideas!
QUESTION 👉🏾 Where are the trash bin on your sewing table and the laptop stand on your desk from?
Thanks so much for your kind note! And great questions--this is the little bin on my sewing table: amzn.to/3uqfF3v ; and the laptop stand is sadly no longer avail on Amazon. It was by Jackcube.
I love the view from the window by serger! So beautiful as Los the wallpaper in your sewing corner. Did you install it yourself? It sort of looks like tha material you bought from Japan!
I meant Also the wallpaper.
Yes! Thank you! The patterns are similar, definitely. It’s an inexpensive wallpaper I found on Amazon a while ago. 😁💜
I love your sewing room. Can you please share where you purchased your sewing feet organizer?
It came with my machine, but you might find something similar in a search for accessories box, or something along those lines. 💜🙏
You may want to take a look at Whitney's video (her you tube channel is TomKat Stitchery) on sewing gifts she did a few days ago. She talked about projectors and patterns. She mentioned a class she took and the instructor was also going to give another class early December 2022 on pattern alterations for projector patterns. She also mentioned some specific equipment she was checking out as a low cost entry point into this process to see if it was something she wanted to do. Good luck in your search.
Oh nice, thank you so much for this tip! This sounds like exactly the kind of info I am looking for--I'll check it out soon! 👏
Absolutely beautiful, calming and useful space. I’m still using all my “vintage” Tupperware in my kitchen, which u bought as a young newlywed many many years ago. 😉
I’d like to locate something similar to your task light, might I ask where you got it from?
This is the task light-random Amazon purchase but it was a good find! amzn.to/3RME9xL
Karen K Buckley makes a serrated scissor in different sizes which never get dull. Her scissors have one blade serrated. Kai has some too but not all sizes.
Awesome tip and suggestion, thank you! I’ll definitely look this brand up.
Thanks for the invitation to visit your sewing space. It is a pleasant and beautiful as the garments you are making.
Thank you so much! 🥰
I would also like to know more about a projector for patterns.
There is projector sewing Facebook group. I ended up getting lots of info there. 💜🙏
What a great tour! Thankyou. Also what pattern do you use for the sailor type pants you were talking about? Sounds divine and comfy 😁
My pleasure, I am glad you liked it! 💜 For sailor style bottoms, I love the Persephone Pants by Anna Allen and the Lander Pants by True Bias. They don’t have that sailor panel in front but the essence is there!
Very nice studio and explanation of how you use everything!!
I love your accessory cabinet for your sewing machine fet, etc. Where did you get that?
Thanks so much! The accessories box came with my machine, so it might be worth doing a Google search if you are looking for something similar. Sometimes machine dealers will have something online. ✨
Hello! Happy New Year.
I just viewed your sewing room your (from two months ago) - thank you so much for sharing
I am searching for an upholstered daybed, and am wondering if you have purchase info for the comfy hut trim looking day bed in your sewing room. Please let us know. And thanks again!
Yes, happy to share the details! I ordered from Wayfair. It was called the Jayden Twin Daybed when I ordered, but I noticed later the name changed to Tarkio Daybed. I think this is common with furniture manufacturers? Anyway, this link may work: www.wayfair.com/Red-Barrel-Studio®--Tarkio-Twin-Daybed-with-Trundle-X114417485-L17-K%7EW003306374.html?refid=PINTO49-W003306374_1001149842&PiID%5B%5D=1001149842&experiencetype=2&selectedvertical=4
There are a few mixed reviews but I can tell you in my experience, it was a great buy! Wayfair replaces any defective parts and it is so sturdy. Great value for this shape. :) Best of luck finding the right daybed for your space!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 for letting us know.
I frame pretty paper too. Glad I’m not the only one.
Oh yes, you are not alone in this! 💜
I just found your channel I love your sewing room. Where did you get the accessories cabinet behind your sewing machine. I want to watch some more of your work.
Thank you! The accessories cabinet came with my sewing machine, but I’ve seen them for sale online. Appreciate you note and thanks for checking out my videos!! ☺️
Beautiful rooms to be sewing and creating new sewing projects in, tfs.
In His Grace Lorisa
Thank you so much! 😊
I have been really enjoying your channel and have subscribed. I was wondering from this episode where you purchased your feet and bobbin case and also the light used by your sewing machine. Thank you for your answer and an inspirational show.
Thanks so much for subscribing, and for your kind words! 😊 Great questions, too--the foot and bobbin case came with the Bernina machine, but I do think they can be found online from some Bernina dealers. Definitely try an online search to see what pops up. Maybe eBay or Etsy? For the light I use, this is the model I have in silver: amzn.to/3GdHfVm but it may be out of stock. This looks like a very similar model in black: amzn.to/3YKfJFW
Thank you for your reply I will check into both. May you have a happy new year.
@@kalynndeloney8281 Thanks so much, and happy new year to you, too!
Maravilha dê ateliê!👍
Obrigada! 😁
Just saw this video and I love your sewing spaces and how you’ve organized everything! I have a random question about the rolled tissue paper you use to transfer patterns. Where do you purchase it?
Great question and I am glad you asked! It is Pellon 111 Tracing Paper, 30x70 yd. I bought mine in a sale from Joann's. Quick note that the images online for the roll look beige, but it is white in person.
@@cleow Great, thank you! I’ll look for it the next time I’m at Joann’s or check online.
NOT THE COOKIE TIN WITH STATIONARY IN 😮😮😮 😢
😂 It should be cookies or sewing kit at least!
I also collect vintage sewing books. Check out library book sales. Found one last month from 1950 for $2.
Yes, such a great idea! 📚Love library book sales so much, and there can be such incredible finds!
Cleo, How do you keep your sewing room SOOOO uncluttered? I have piles of fabric all over any flat top area in my sewing room. I do try organization, but usually get OVERWHELMED!
It *is* tough and, well, this was between projects! 😅 It definitely gets to be a mess although the closets and dressers help contain a lot of it. 😂✨
Cleo, Thanks for replying😀
@@maryviti6799 Of course, I wouldn't dream of doing otherwise. I appreciate you for reaching out!
I have very large rubber tubs. They are rectangular in shape. They hold a ton of fabric and I do have a listing in one long end and a side as to what type of fabric it contains. Such as linen, one for knits and what type, wovens, an silky fabrics to include silk, and heavier fabrics. Then there is my quilting…that is very organized in built in drawers and cabinets. Waxed canvas, oil cloth, canvas untaxed, etc. I appreciate your clean space. I, well I have never been a minimalist. I know where everything is and in which closet/room. It is only visible within my sewing room. It does take me a week to clean and oil all of my sewing machines. My oldest is 1882 and she works lovely. No offense but I am not sure I could function in your space…I’d get to obsessed about nothing out of place.
I do love your videos and watching the clothes you make and your honest observations. Thank you for sharing.
What is projector patterns???
How does it work???
Such a good question! I have zero experience with it but the basics are: you project the image of your pattern onto your fabric and cut directly from there, no paper pattern needed. This site has details: projectorsewing.com
It looks out of my budget so I am still just browsing/checking it out! 😁
What’s the lamp/ light above your sewing machine
Great question! I just checked and while the specific model is no longer available (I purchased in 2017), this is the brand and what looks like the equivalent lamp: amzn.to/3UUeFgy
It’s stabilizer
Yes, that’s it! Thank you!
I like your accessory box or bin. Where can I purchase? I have an old model Bernina
Great question! And how awesome that you have an older model-I check those out online all the time. 😁 I believe the accessories boxes are sold at local Bernina dealers. You may also be able to phone a dealer (if not local) and order that way, and ask if your machine’s feet will fit the same slots. ☺️✨
@@cleow a Bernina dealer said they weren’t made anymore. I will search for one like yours. If you run across one please let me know. I’m on a search mission now. Thanks
@@antoniamaldonado2343 You bet! You may already have your eye on Ebay or Etsy, but I will definitely keep an eye out! Which model is your Bernina?
@@cleow yes found one on eBay. My Bernina Record is a 930 model
New subscriber here.
You have an amazing sewing area.
If you want a near tutorial on how to install an overhead projector, have a look at Morgan Donners channel. She installed a projector in her old home about 2 years ago (December 2020).
Thank you so much! I will definitely check out her channel, thank you for this tip! ✨💜
Hallo
Hello! 😁
batik. dari indonesia. art of membatik.
Yes, it is beautiful! ✨
I sew aprons so I use my mannequin to hang my aprons on and photograph them.
That sounds perfect, and such a great way to showcase your aprons! 🙌
