A Sewing Room / Studio Tour
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- Today I'm giving you all a little tour of my sewing room / studio / office space! This room is where I do all of my sewing, pattern drafting, sketching, blogging, and video editing. I am not the most organized person, but I try and keep this space in some semblance of working order!
I am super lucky to have this studio space, and am eternally grateful to my wonderful family for offering me the room to use for my work :) One day I'll even give it a proper clean out and organize it all again, but this is how it looks most of the time, so I thought I would share for any of you who might enjoy a peek around my work space!

Thank you for watching!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who goes to the fabric store with a list & come home with so much more.
“I kill plants. I have a problem.” 🤣 I appreciate your realness and sharing a working creative space. I also “borrowed” my mom’s serger and took it two states away. Moms are the best!
There's a difference between clean and messy (believe me, I KNOW 🤫). A bit of mess is normal - I'd worry about you if everything was spotless and at right angles!😉 Ah! You reminded me, my mum had an old snazzy evening bag that she used to keep buttons in. (She was a kid in Italy during WWII, therefore, she never throws anything away.) Have to ask her where it is. I used to love looking in that bag as a child, like a bag of treasure!
Whew, I feel better that I'm not the only one who's not the most tidy person especially while working on projects (not that I agree you are, just that you mentioned you believe you are) I believe it's a quality that comes with CREATIVITY & being an ARTISTIC & CREATIVE PERSON! So be it, and I personally embrace it! 👌💙
Oh I am especially untidy when in the middle of a project! I embrace it too ;)
Oh cool! this was so nice to see. Now I don't feel alone with my semi organised mess. 💖
Thank you Lele! You are certainly not alone there ;)
I don't remember if I ever saw you with your hair straight, but you look wonderful. This room is very useful and quite organised. If you ever had the money it would be a good idea to put doors in all those bookcases etc, they will save you from the dust and they will protect the fabrics. You never know, maybe some of these fabrics will be unused twenty years from now. Why not be in perfect condition? Your illustrations are very pretty and the patterns that are showing very nice for your figure.
Thank you!
This was so fun! I love checking out other peoples creative spaces. Yours is lovely :)
Thank you Kate!
aahhhh! I can't get over how glamorous you look. Love, love, love, the straight hair! ugh, and those earring, just darling!
Thank you! :)
Thank you for sharing your at home work look! There's too much pressure for vintage people to be vintage all the time! I'm working from home right now in loungey pants and a sweatshirt. 😜
joo, I am in t-shirt and pajama's bottoms all day when I am at home, the most comfortable thing to work with it. I am with you at that.
It is so awesome to see you with a straght bob instead of your usual style! The hair and makeup surely make the look more vintage for sure!
Thank you Sharon!
I just found your Vlogs and I am so excited to see someone who also loves vintage. You are an inspiration.
Thank you Aurora!
Ooooh I love this realistic sewing room tour! On another note, I moved to Denver recently and knew I used to read a vintage style blog from somebody who lives in Denver, but it was years ago and I couldn't remember the name. Then I finally clicked on a recommended video here that was one of yours and BAM it was you all along and TH-cam had been suggesting your channel for weeks. SPOOKY! I'm glad you are doing well and making excellent content!
Thank you so much! I am still out here in the Denver area blogging and now making videos too :) I hope you like the city!
hahahahaaaa!!! you made me LOL, 'gotta have some dust!!!'
new subbie. thanks for the giggles...
Thanks Renee! :)
Fantastic and creative sewing studio!.. Thank you for sharing!
Love this realistic tour! Im jealous of all your storage space - I feel lucky as a college roommate to have an allotted corner of the shared living room for my big messy table hahaha
Thank you! In college my roommates had to put up with a lot of sewing all over our living room which I'm sure wasn't fun for them!
Thank you for sharing ❤
You are something else. I think I like you.
Such a great creative space. My crafting/sewing space does multiple duties, including be an occasional kitten foster room, so I have to keep all my supplies, fabrics, yarn, etc., into closets, drawers and a bureau. I love Dressing the Galaxy and want to get the follow-up book. I actually attended the Star Wars Celebration panel about the Costumes book, and it was awesome--of course!
Also, I've pricing out pattern paper, and even just plain white rolled paper for making skirts--all the options seem so expensive. That paper is a great size AND price. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you Leigh-Anne! Kitten foster room has got to the best room description ever, I haven't played with any kittens in ages! I have ordered several rolls of the Atlas paper and find it a super bargain, I'm happy to share my resources :)
Sometimes your voice and humor make me think of Dory (from Finding Nemo) ...but I love Dory, so this is a compliment 🐟
I approve nerdy t-shirt! And I think howls moving castle is my favorite Ghibli 😁
It's nice to see your space. I don't have one yet (hopefully I will move in a bigger flat in the next 3 months) because 250sqm is really small 😭
I totally understand the situation where you go to the fabric shop and come back with way more than was planned!
Thank you! I love Howls Moving Castle, it's probably my favorite too, but they are all soooo good
Do you mean 250 square feet because that many square metres is massive compared to my 3 bedroomed U.K house!
I am so glad to have found you're site. I find you to be delightful to watch. You make feel better about my fabric hording and 3 sewing machines, paints etc... I love your vintage style. My girls tease me about my vintage jewelry and many hobbies but when they need something made or want to borrow anything to do with fun they come to me. Thanks for the tour
Thank you Annette! Fabric hoarding is essential, can't be avoided ;)
This was great to see all of your studio / sewing room ...i love the organised clutter look its so homely ....i don' t do stark @ minimal..when you are creative ; i think you need your stuff around you ...l do have things in very pretty floral boxes @ i do have a pink sewing machine so i try to make things still pleasing on the eye...at least to my eye ... xxx
Thank you Henrietta! I love clutter, I could never be minimal ;) A pink sewing machine sounds super adorable!
I love the centerfold prints 😊
I still have fabric from before you were born that I was supposed to make a jumper out of for my daughter who is now 30 😂😂 yes fabric does happen! And yet I still can't get rid of it 🤦😉
Really nice space.
Thank you Kim! I still have some fabrics in my deep stash that were things my mom bought to make me clothes when I was very little too, so you are not alone out there ;)
‘Where I keep the one plant that I haven’t yet killed!’ is a mood
I have since killed it...😬
@@TheClosetHistorian oops. my fiddle leaf fig has since succumbed to root mould
Oh wow! Love your basement doll. Super jelly. xxx
Thank you Jo!
Your studio is sooooooo like mine!!!
I wish my sewing room had space for a sewing table and a cutting table. That would be a dream.
I am very lucky! I still use the floor to lay things out and cut them out sometimes too, like with circle skirts. A truly giant cut table is the dream!
Enjoyed your video. You seem very talented and have a love for sewing.
Thank you Mary!
There are weavers where I grew up that make rag blankets (like your rug). I have many of those in various sizes from queen to crib size.
You have Dressing A Galaxy??? Been wanting that book for ATLEAST 10 years! And now it’s incredibly expensive to get hold on..
Anyway! Loved this video! Great to see your studio at last! 😁
Thank you Kira! I was able to pick up a copy because they exhibited the costumes from the films at the Denver Art Museum, and it was AMAZING...such gorgeous costuming.
i don't have a cauldron filled with thread, but i do have a giant cauldron in the kitchen which holds fruit. cauldrons are handy.
Gotta have some nice cauldrons around ;)
Ooh, awesome creative space! I wanna live there 😅 Also, is that Peggy Carter at about 11:03?
Thank you! Definitely have Peggy Carter tucked into my mirror, also a photo of Dita Von Teese and another of Indiana Jones ;)
Love the earrings and yhea if im home im in a tshirt too
Thank you!
😂 love the video
Thank you!
Hello, love watching you :) Question, where do you like to get your labels printed? Any recommendations, thanks!
Thank you Susan! I got these labels printed with Dutch Label Shop! www.dutchlabelshop.com/en_us/
Lol I kill plants too!
Great space! May I ask your ethnicity? You look so much like my friend, who is Armenian. I have dark hair and dark eyes like you. I have been asked if I am Armenian, Greek, Italian. I am Bohemian, Jewish, German, Irish and French. I am fascinated by people’s backgrounds. I bought my husband Ancestry DNA kit as one of his Christmas presents. We are really excited to see what it shows!
Thank you! I am a 3rd/4th generation American mutt really, but mostly Italian with a tiny bit of everything else like some Dutch and English.
Very cool! Thanks!
‘It’s one of those rugs made from scraps of fabric so of course you can’t see scraps of fabrics when they fall on it’
Howl... *Swoon*
I too am guilty of mass plant slaughter.
I am super curious how old you are?
Not to sound like a creeper...
I just turned 28, and im always curious how old other fellow vintage lovers are...im odd...
Anywho...looks like a cozy room to me...its got what u need!
I love all your wall hangings!
And another question...so ive been wanting to create my own clothes for years now...for like 13ish years...ive nvr owned or had a mother that owned a sewing machine though...and they are kinda spendy...but now i figured i would ask my gma if i could borrow her sewing machine, she has the pedal kind...and idk how the eff to use it...and i was wondering if the are harder to use?
Also...since i want to start off making something vintage looking...what would be an easier thing to make for my first thing...i would love to do a skirt or dress.
And is it suuuper hard to learn sewing?
My experience sewing is...fixing holes in clothes...putting on buttons...hand sewing a hem...and maybe a few other super simple things...
So pretty much hand sewing only...and not alot...and on a scale of 1-10 on how good i am is prob...a 4...mostly cause i raaarly have to do it.
So...i need help on beginning sewing...i really really really want to do it! So bad!
Im very artsy, and creative...i love sketching, and making things, art of all kinds, and i believe clothing is art.
So...can u help a beginner out on and tips or tricks!?
Pleeease!!!
I am 27, which always surprises me because I'm not used to it yet and don't know where the time has gone!
I do have a video with many of my general tips for starting to sew th-cam.com/video/Vjjn6vFqMiQ/w-d-xo.html I'm not sure if by pedal kind of machine if you mean an electric sewing machine with a foot petal (like a "normal" modern sewing machine), or if you mean an old fashioned treadle machine like the old heavy duty singers and such, but I have only ever tried using a treadle machine once and it seemed really difficult to me! Perhaps this article may be helpful www.seamwork.com/issues/2015/08/treadle-sewing-for-modern-sewists
Often sewing machines are really actually quite hardy, and thrift shops or sewing machine repair places can be good inexpensive places to look for picking up a machine. Also there is no reason to get a super fancy machine in my opinion, I work on a $90 sewing machine and it had served me well for years now.
