Talking about how to organize my fabrics and all about sewing and there you are...thank you.😂❤
2 dogs and 3 cats? Same here! I know this wasn’t meant to be a tutorial, but I’m using it as one. We’re building a house and I’ll finally have my own craft room. I need storage tips!
Awww we love our fur babies! I hope this helped!
You should do some “use up your scraps” videos! Sewing miscellaneous mini projects
Thank you for showing us where you create!
Aww I can't believe you put my little mini quilt in your video 😍 so glad you like it.
I love it! It stays in my room always :)
Yes, cleaning up the space so that it's ready for the next sewing day is essential for creativity. Even if I'm tired, my goal is to leave it neat for next time. I do use a label maker because if I don't I waste alot of time looking for some things. I also have some notes in my journal that I keep to remind me where certain things are, like the Christmas ribbon and fabric that I bought on clearance and I stashed in a bin. Love your room.
Jess, you are just such a bright ray of sunshine for us sewists,, quilters, embroiderers. Thanks for sharing your insights, thoughts, and expertise in such a fun, casual way! Thanks for helping me through Covid by inspiring me!
I thought I had a lot of fabric. I guess most of us did. Thank you for the tour. You have a beautiful place for a beautiful person. Thank you for everything you do for us 💗
For my cutting table I got a basic height adjustable shop table from Lowe’s, but then my hubby attached a quality piece particle board to the top of the table so I could get a larger cutting space. I put contact paper over the board before putting my massive mat on top. It has made a huge difference having enough space.
That cabinet of fun fabric and all that vinyl. 2 Berninas. All that storage. I'm literally drooling!!! I know you didn't build all of it overnight but it just seems that I'll never get to that place. But I'm not giving up. You inspire me ☺️
Hey, first timer here. I love your honesty; I can relate in so many ways. New subscriber!
Thank you for that wonderful tour of your crafting space . For you to say that the size, or where, does not matter is a great positive statement for many to hear.
I love the newer manual crank or electric tables that can go up and down!
GIRL, YOU HAVE HONESTLY INSPIRED ME SO MUCH TODAY, I GOT FIRED FROM A JOB WHERE I WAS LEARNING HOW TO SEW AND YOUR VIDEOS REALLY PICKED ME UP!!
When I bought my Bernina serger (1150 MDA), I was given about 15 minutes training on it when I picked it up! I forgot everything she taught me about it! when I got home! I opened up the manual and went through it over and over multiple times. It took me months to get comfortable with it, but once I finally learned how to use it I never stopped! Now I can even do wired ribbon! Just get out your manual or even watch TH-cam videos on it by typing in the name brand of it and see what comes up. You won't regret it!
I love your sewing room. I love watching your videos. You are changing my focus on sewing clothes to sewing bags.
Oh thank you!
Thank you for sharing! You have such a positive influence and a good heart. I really love watching your videos. Sometimes I think I can’t do something and then I watch one of your videos and feel inspired to carry on with my project I’m working on. So a huge thank you for being you and sharing your enthusiasm.🦋
Great space! Love that your fixtures are white. It really makes it cohesive. I love my industrial sewing machine. They are such work horses!
Just found your channel today, now subscribed already 🤩while working on my cloth pads, and you inspired me, how can I make my working space a happy beautiful place to work. Currently I am using part of our dining place and living room on my sewing -cloth pads. And yes I have cats 🐈 that’s always trying to invade my working space and I’m always begging on them to let me work in peace because I am doing these stuff for them 🥰 because I can’t help but just love them
So beautiful!! Love it. I just started learning to sew in May and somehow discovered your channel in trying to find beginner sewing videos and now I'm hooked on making bags lol. My sewing space right now is my kitchen table and somehow I'm managing to make it work.Thank you for the tour and thank you for all your tutorials.
Kandi Abolurin I was at my kitchen table for about 10 years then we moved and I have confiscated part of the bonus room for my sewing area. Good luck to you in your sewing endeavors. I love making bags and quilts.
I'm so happy you're here Kandi!
I'm at my kitchen table too! It's covered with fabric and stuff in little baskets & bowls. I'm going to need a bigger boat, er table.... :-)
Thank you for this! and believe me it's grand!
I love that that you use items that you had to store items, not buying everything new. It adds personality to your room . So far in the videos of sewing rooms, no one seems to show those that have yards of the same fabric. I’m not a quilter ( yet) and when I buy a fabric, I tend to buy 8-10 yards of it. These can’t be stored in little boxes . I love your sewing room and I like the pegboard system as you can see where the important items are
Thank you for sharing your space with us. I love my sewing room, it is my space to decompress and be creative at the same time. My sewing has spilled over into a guest room for additional storage, no matter how much I organize I still feel there is not enough room. I feel blessed to have the space that I have and blessed I have a husband who accepts the strings that might be found here and there and allows me the time I need for "me" time in the sewing room.
Loved seeing this....thank you so much....I thought you worked out of a garage.....I think because of the wall behind you....regardless...it's great..love that you used every inch of space too......again, thanks for sharing.....I agree I have to keep my sewing nook tidy once done....take care
Well now you have me thinking about what I could do with my garage Lynette!
My craft/sewing room is my favorite also. And I too clean up every day and it’s so nice entering the next day fresh.
Love your creative space💗
I do the same...I clean up everyday so I start with a fresh clean room!
Me too! I can not function on a messy space, so try to do my best to keep it clean and organized every day!
Thank you for being real; I thought I had a lot of fabric, you win! Lol. I think your Juki TL-2010-Q is a semi-industrial sewing machine. I need to organize my bag hardware. I don't believe we have an Ikea in Hawaii, or at least there's none near my location. I definitely need to organize my fabric into colors. Thanks for the advice that Aurifil is great for quilts; Gutermann Thread is great for bag making. I tend to agree because sometimes my sewing machine and thread argue depending on what the project is. My sewing hobby has taken over the house too.
Lovely Sewing Room 🤩
thank you for all your videos... I love them and have encourage me to try new things like patterns I was so scare to follow a pattern I wasn't sure I was going to get it. I'm a visual person and I have to do try it and do it myself.. and your videos are so easy to follow, you provide so much information it's awesome. Thank you for the sewing room tour, and also for everything you add it, like we don't have to have a whole room to be creative.
you are awesome, thank you for sharing you space with other enthusiastic sewers!
Thank you so much Nicole!
Hey Jess. I just love ur videos. Love the sewing space!!
I wanted to ask... Do you think you could possibly do a video of a hoodie pattern? With transitioning into fall, and outdoor gathering seeming to be the new thing, I wanted to try my hand. I've never attempted one and you are such a great teacher!! Totally understand if it's not your thing! ❤️
It is so funny I just organized my sewing room and I am so happy I did. I went through all of my fabric and organized by color and some by theme. I even organized all of my hardware. It makes a more calming creative space for me! Love your sewing room tour! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻❤️
I love your space! I love the glass doors so you can see your fabrics 🥰
Thank you! 😊
Sheets: I buy only white cotton sheets, and make our pillowcases. I use the pillowcases from sheet sets for bases in scrap sewing of blocks, all kinds of things. It feels like it cost me nothing!
OMG what a fantastic sewing room, I would sleep, eat and sew sew sew in that room lol, I wish I had one shelf of fabric, you are sooooo lucky x
Love how bright and sunny your room is! Thank you for this peek into your studio. :)
Your sewing space is amazing Jess. Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge, enthusiasm, and words of encouragement with us. ~Nancy
Thanks for the tour. Thank you for the great ideas.
I am impressed! As a recycling artist and a new youtuber, space and organization is a struggle for me. I am definitely getting the wall organizer and jars. Thanks for sharing
That's amazing that you are a recycling artist!!
Thank you for this video! Your sewing room is perfect! I love how you can turn a simple sewing room tour into an inspirational video. You are so great! Thank you for all you do.
Love, love, love that you saw the opportunity to convert your dining room into your sewing studio. Repurpose those unused rooms.
Beautiful sewing room. You are indeed blessed.💞
Love your video and sewing space. I too enjoy the white background. Have you seen Jean Truelove she is a quilter but also now makes bags. She has a new machine to sew the heavy material for the bags.
Awesome room. 👍❤️Thank you for the tour💕💕💕💕love it.
I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ all your room and mess and everything else 😜😜😜😜 I wish have your space in the house 🏡🏡🏡
I love seeing sewing room tours! Pretty room with everything you need close at hand!
Wow my dream sewing room.
Your space is wonderful and wow your fabric is beautiful! I've always wondered what your space looks like!!
That was so good to watch. Thank you, Jessica. You now seem to be just like us -- dealing with the "organized" sewing clutter one pile at a time -- and seeing what other room in your house you can fill! Good information.
Thank you for being real.
Super it looks fab I have an industrial Juki 8700 I so love it use it all the time..
Me too I have the 8300 it is so awesome
Love your sewing room and I live close to Jacksonville in middleburg, love your videos , very helpful , have a blessed day
Well organised sewing room. Very inspiring.
🌸💝🌸🇲🇾Malacca
Love all your video's and your creative space Jess! Your enthusiasm makes me have the confidence that I can complete a project, so thank you
Love your room & your huge selection of fabric!! Thank you! 😍
Sewing room are always a work in progress, you are always reorganizing and thinking of better ways to work better, or is it just me?! Loved it, wonderful space!
I was afraid of the serger too. ☺️..I asked my bernina machine dealer to give me a lesson and recorded it with my phone and read the manual- now I use the serger more than I thought I would..I love it now now.
Your sewing room is beautiful.
Juki makes some amazing industrial machines. I have a serger and a 8700 series which is more for everyday medium weight and light sewing, but I have done some pretty heavy bag stuff on it. I also have a used LU 563 it is amazing it is a walking foot machine you can sew really heavy bag stuff on it. I see used models alot on fb market place . Or 2 of mine came from a guy who fixes industrial machines. Definetly go for it you will love them!!
I didn’t touch my serger for one week, then I got the courage up and I love it! I like your craft area. TFS
Beautiful sewing room. White is a light and neutral background for your colorful fabrics. So these ones are easier to chose.
Thanks from France
Blinky lights: add them to Halloween bags and they will be a cute safety effect.
I loved your video! I love your sense of humor also. Your videos are great to watch and you do a great job. Your sewing room video was helpful to me with all the ideas I am ready to work on mine. I did catch you saying you put distilled water in your iron. Please check your manual as most irons tell you not to use distilled water. I have a cordless Panasonic and it warns against distilled water. Thanks again for great videos and keep up the great work!!
Oh my goodness! My hubby (bless his heart 😊) always tries to sneek into my very disorganized sewing room to organize it! 😁
You’re crafty space is #Goals. Thank you for sharing your space.
Fabulous tour.
Thank you for sharing. I finds myself cleaning and moving things around constantly in my space!
Love your sewing room🥰
Oh gee, when I found your sewing room video, I admit that even though I like sewing room tours, I thought, "good grief, another one?" I had become tired of the UBER-glamorous, perfectly organized, exquisite rooms that people with (apparently) unlimited budgets can set up. But yours is different; it's delightful and so are you. And you won me over when in so many words you said your sewing room is always a work in progress. I loved that because that’s how mine is too. I'm always looking for a better way to organize or store my stuff; whatever would we do without our "stuff"?
In addition to quilting and regular sewing, I love vintage Kenmore machines and have 8 of them at this point as well as the 1948 White rotary Model 77 that my mother used when she taught me to sew over 60 years ago. So I REALLY have to plan my storage! But I have a place for all of them and I don't just store them, I use and maintain them. I have three modern electronic machines as well (I'm a machine addict) which I use most of the time, but the vintage ones are so much fun! I can't resist them. My husband has golf and I have sewing. He looks at me like I have three heads when another vintage machine comes in the house and makes some funny snarky comment until I remind him that he has at least 200 golf clubs! (Works every time😁)
I was intrigued about you needing extra room for an industrial machine. I get the impression you and your hubby are very clever about building your own tables, etc. So, rather than extending anything, why don't you get some heavy-duty drawer rails, figure out how to mount them underneath your cutting table so that you can have an ironing board that slides out from under the top? It could be a 1/2" piece of plywood cut to size and covered with cotton batting and muslin or even the silver-type fabric frequently used on ironing boards. You could add drop-down-legs under the front of it for support. Wish I had a handy husband. I'm good with ideas but not so much with construction.
Like you, I have a serger that I don't use. It doesn't frighten me, I just don't need it much as I mostly use twin needles and stretch stitches when making knit garments. Guess I should sell it.
Thanks again for the inspiring video; now I’m going to take another look at my room and see what I can improve!
My sewing room is my dinning room, i used to scrapbook and craft but when COVID hit, i discovered sewing,i hadn't since middle school and i fell in love and i look forward everyday to create something, your videos have given me confidence to make other things. Also i love visiting st augustine with my family,we stay in New Smyrna and frequent St Augustine,beautiful place!!
So beautiful 👏, your room is so bright, clean and organized. Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Stay safe healthy and happy 😃
Wow! What a nice sewing space! 🤩 Can totally relate to having a bunch of drawers full of random things from all of the different sewing projects I’ve had throughout the years! 💫
I LOVE your new kid in town ( I mean the Bernina ) .
I am thinking about getting a Bernina as well .
Okay I really love you, this video, and your ability to radiate inspiration in every breath! I think I’ve shared before I’m a fiber and textile artist with a studio where I teach this glorious craft! I always enjoy to watch others who teach, influence and inspire! I so relate to your style-I love color, and a bright and organized room! It does take effort to stay organized -but we’ll worth the effort! I find lately without a clean organized space -I flounder and simply do not enjoy the process as much!
Lastly, you can’t fake joy! As a teacher my students always respond to the love I bring to the table! That’s what makes people want to learn and hop on this creative ride! Thanks for spreading that love and joy-May it return right back to ya!❤️🧵✂️
Beautiful sewing room!
Thank you! 😊
We enjoyed Saint Augustine so much when we were there a few years ago. We ended up staying a couple extra days so we could see the sights. Also, I love your craft room! I am going to adopt many of your ideas when I get mine together. We just moved in are remodeling so all of my craft supplies are still boxed up. I can’t wait to be set up and be able to craft again!
If you can’t afford brand new or wanna save space in the landfills, I like furniture from second hand or thrift stores. I have lots of storage options bought that way and it is good if you have a slim budget.
Sergers are wonderful ! I have to admit ,the first time I EVER saw one was a sewing factory model and it scared me ! Took me a while but now I use one some . Just get get some scraps and play ! Just like you did when you learned to sew ! You’ll love it !!❤️
Fun video! Always fun to see another crafters space. After my kids were grown and launched, I turned their play room into my sewing space. Only thing I wondered about on your video is when you said you had distilled water for your iron. Maybe your iron is different, but all of the irons I own specifically state DO NOT use distilled water. I am constantly rearranging and updating my fabric studio and my most recent addition was to buy a large white tool box from Home Depot to use as my ironing center. I covered a piece of plywood with batting and iron-board fabric and placed it on the top for a large ironing surface. The drawers below hold all the pressing sheets, etc that I like to have close at hand when pressing.
Move your ironing board to the end of your cutting board to see if that extension is what you want. Love your room. So happy to hear your husband supports you in your creativity.
Thanks for the tip!
New subscriber here. Loved the tour - thanks. I found it inspiring & gave me renewed energy to clean up my sewing room which is rather chaotic.
You’re too funny being afraid of a serger....lol! Love it!
This video just popped up on my home page and I am so glad that it did. Your sewing room looks amazing! I live in Jacksonville so it is nice to see someone in the area.
I know what you mean about tidying up at the end of the day. Sometimes my craft room looks like an explosion went off and I'm still working away. BUT, at the end of the day, it all gets cleaned up so when I walk in the room in the morning, it's like a breath of fresh air. It is also my favorite space in the house. I home school 5 grandchildren so I desperately need a soothing piece of space so I don't lose my mind or cause harm (just kidding, kinda). Love to watch your videos. I still play the one creating a mask where you start off..."this is day 150+ of the quarantine, oh wait, it's only day 10..." I so connected with that statement since all my grandchildren have been with me since quarantine started....all day long....every day...6-7 days a week... but I love them and so glad I can help my daughters with their children.
Lucky you have IKEA...they don’t have one here in Hawaii..so I’ve ever been to one but would love to go! Nice room!
I had no idea you lived in St. Augustine. My husband lives in Green Cove Springs. We go to St. Augustine all the time. My Quilt Studio is also almost exclusively furnished from Ikea. Except my cutting table is a 72" bathroom vanity. I have six drawers and then the big space in the middle is batting and Soft N Stable.
Since my husband lives away, I took over my Formal Living Room for my studio. It faces South and has two glorious windows. At one point my living room and dining room were connected with an opening. When my daughter lived here, her scrapbook room was in the dining room. She lives with her fiance now so when I moved my parents in, I got a "dining room" set. A large cabinet that spanned the opening, a dresser that serves as z buffet and a curio made of shutters, windows and corrugated tin. Then, a big table and chairs. They're all distressed in the same paint. My mom hates them, but I got a big crystal chandelier for her. So when I did my studio I got a 5x5 Kallax that covered up the back of the China cabinet.
St. Augustine has the only stained glass shop that I have found in the Southeast. We used to have two in Pensacola, where I live, but both were closed. The last time I went to St. Augustine it was too find that shop. It's small, but really cool.
Ooooo I need to check out this shop!
I’ve recently subscribed to your channel and I’m so happy I did. Thank you for this tour of your sewing room. I just started taking up sewing and I’ve done mostly baby stuff, but really nice stuff. I agree with you on liking your space no matter how small. As long as I can feel good about creating something, I’m as happy as I can be. Again thank you for all you do.
I have the same serger… LOVE it, please give it another try!
Very nice room and so well organized. You have to get an industrial machines. I started out with the bernina 770 then I got triumph. I absolutely love love my bernina. I got my industrial machine single needle and I haven’t been on my bernina except for embroidery. Then I got an industrial serger and I absolutely love my industrial serger. I spend most of my time on the industrial machines and you will never regret get them. They are amazing and super reasonable comparing to what we pay for bernina hahaha
Oh you are costing me some money!! I’m just a hiccup away from ordering an industrial
Do it do it do it hahaha. You won’t regret!
Thank you for the tour. I always call my sewing room my happy place too.
Thank you for this video! I've been wanting to peek at your sewing room! So inspiring! I need a bigger house or just one extra room! :-)
I love your channel so much. Always brightens my day. You have inspired me to start quilting and bag making. I would love for you to do some videos on hand quilting. I enjoy using my machine but my grandma was a hand quilter and unfortunately she never got the chance to teach me. It would be great to see how you do it since you are such n awesome teacher. Hope you are staying safe!
Great sewing space! Totally inspiring!
Love sewing area tours!
👋 kitchen table girl here! She shed dreamer
Love it! I used a used ikea small island with cabinets and a white Formica top. It’s huge. 4x6 with a custom 4x6 cutting mat.
My sewing room has taken over the formal living room and dinning room of our house...
thank you for sharing your space with us!
Same!! It must be a Stephanie thing, lol!!
You are so welcome!
Just subscribed, and by the way "Alottlebit" is my new favorite word - I know EXACTLY what it means! Really enjoy your videos - I hope they are as fun for you to produce as they are for us to watch. Also, your Sunshine Wristlet tutorial is fantastic.
Thanks so much for sharing your space, Jess! I have always loved your sewing room so it was so fun to get a closer look!
wow love the room
Love your space! Would love to see you with an industrial machine! I learn a lot from your videos and would love to see the industrial part
I work in my dining room on a dining table that belonged to my great grandparents. It's over 100 years old! It's a bit low for cutting, but it gives me the room I need. The hutch holds baskets of supplies. Sadly, my fabric is in totes...I loved your tour. I am also a Bernina fan. I have a 160 (It's about 25 years old) that I purchased new and a 4 thread overlock Bernina! Your machines are beautiful!
Thank you Jesse ...Absolutely fabulous tips ...One day my work studio will be as as organised ❤️
I love your space! You are very blessed!
