Best sewing room video yet because it’s a working room but pleasant to look at and clearly well organized. I’ve been sewing for over 65 years (yes, I started very young and, yes, I have a few life-years in my bucket!) and am just now I’m in the process of creating a nice sewing room. I re-homed my mis-matched collection of cheap and garage sale storage units and tables and IKEA has become my best friend. I’m loving it! You have inspired me a great deal. I do a wide variety of sewing, mostly garments so have collected lots of “stuff”, much of it looking for better resting places. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 💜 I think the IKEA furniture gets the job done at an affordable price, so it's a win-win for me. I've been sewing on and off for 20 years, but I feel I've become a bit of a hoarder when it comes to fabric and sewing supplies. Perhaps I'm an "organized hoarder" 😆 My grandmother sewed all her life, and one day I hope I can sew even a fraction of how well she did.
Nice to see someone else thinks like I do. I just figured my master bedroom was a waste of good space. It is for sleeping in. How much room do you really need for a bed & dressers??? I did the same thing. We have a trailer and put on a full length, very wide addition. Of course the new Master bedroom was designed to go in one end and our sons room at the other end. Never happened. It became my sewing room. When we re-did the kitchen. All the Top cupboards were reused by putting them in the sewing room on the walls. I love my sewing room and the way we recycled the cupboards. The bottom cupboards with counter tops went in to the Other bedroom in the addition and that is now my Computer room Office and Genealogy Library, and even that room is larger than the original master bedroom in the trailer. My hats off to you & anyone with the courage and insight to utilize their rooms more efficiently and say to heck with a largest bedroom in the house being a master bedroom.
Thank you! Great minds think alike! I figured since all I do is sleep and get dressed in my bedroom and spend most of my waking hours in the sewing room, it just made more sense 🙂
I love your room. So pretty and functional. It's great you can sew with your cousin. Love your cat. My cat used to love to sit with me when I sewed. He died just before Christmas, I miss him. The work desk is really good. My daughter works from home too. She loves it and no, she isn't tempted to sew instead of working. haha. Nice ironing board. Top job.
I sew on a small table in the corner of my studio apartment. My dining table, coffee table and floor double as work space. I am dreaming of the day I can have an actual cutting table! Your space looks awesome! You’re so organized!
It sounds like you have plenty of flat spaces to work, even tho it may be small. I started out small, and now the kids are gone and I have more space. Be patient, and one day you have your dream space, not matter what that means for you! Maybe use a portable table for now to cut on??
@@petmomful2260 a portable table is a great idea!! I’m wondering if I can find a table that collapses to store under my bed. Wow thanks for the inspiration! Hope you’re having a nice night. 😋
@@MadisonWestfield I recently saw a sewing room makeover by Craftpreneur (here on TH-cam) and she has a tall wooden shelf unit bolted to a wall which includes a table with 2 legs that folds out (she turned it into an ironing board). I think she said she got it at IKEA. Just a thought! Good luck with your space - my living room coffee table doubles as my computer and sewing space. It's a big low wooden one from the 80's my parents gave me. I call it "my command center." I actually sit on a pillow on the floor, legs crossed or under the table, with my couch behind me so I can lean back if I want (and my cat likes to sleep nearby). I love it! Best to you!
Great room very well thought out. And when you showed your dresser for storing fabric, I had to laugh, You Are Organized. My goodness, I wish I had half your organizing skills. Thank you.
By default, not design, my master bedroom is now a craft room. From IKEA, there's 3 Billie(?) bookcases, a very large wooden table top, clear storage boxes, metal magazine holders, cubby shelf and the zipped square ottoman/twin bed. With luck, these shelves can be bought for $10-$20 apiece at thrift stores and the table top was in the "As Is" section for just $25...no legs. But I'm no where near your organization skills because I'm still sewing in my dining room... 😆 Lovely video filled with great storage solutions. Thank you 🍄🍄
oh wow .. that is an awesome idea what you did for your sewing table connecting them and also with the baskets underneath to hold your long serge protector and holds all your cords off the floor. that is an idea for me to do. thank you for showing your beautiful and organized room... especially for all the spools of thread.. I guess Ikea would be a great place to go.. Love what you did.. awesome.
Really love your sewing area! I will be incorporating some of your ideas into my space. I really love how you dealt with your cords and power bar. For patterns I photocopied the front of the pattern and put into binders (men’s, lady’s, kids, historical) then filled the patterns by number. Makes everything much easier to find and gives you the option to fill the pictures under different categories. Make sure you have sizing info on the page so you just pull out a binder and leaf through to find what you have in that category. The patterns themselves are in a filling cabinet with box cardboard to separate the rows.
Great tour of your design space. Love the idea for holding your power strip up off the floor. You put great thought into the best use of your square footage. Since kitty loves to sleep and look out of the window, create a shelf space by using L-brackets and a piece of wood in a half circle therefore you won’t have any sharp edges to bump into and your storage containers can go back under your cutting space.
I just watched this whole video again. You’ve got such a wonderful space and you really have some brilliant things you’ve done in the room. It’s a gorgeous space and I am happy you have a beautiful space(with a kitty included!) to be creative in!
Very good sewing room tour! I'm excited that I'll be able to set up a dedicated sewing/craft room in my new home in the next few months, so I've been scouring YT sewing channels for tour vlogs. I really like what you did with your room. The added overhead lighting is not something generally shown on sewing room tours, and I appreciate that you included that. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! Wonderful and creative use of space. I love that you used the master bedroom as your sewing room. Might as well get the most out of it since you spend the bulk of your time there! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Beautiful sewing area so happy for you. So organised. I sew a lot but my sewing room is in the front room. I have four store cupboards which I could put things in the right place. I must say you have given me a lot of thought how I should organise my sewing space. Thank you so much for sharing it is lovely to see sewing rooms it has given me a lot of ideas. HAPPY SEWING !!!!!
Thanks for sharing. My friend did exactly the same thing with her master bedroom. Brilliant! I love the butcher block tabletop. Just what I was looking for.
Sweetie your sewing space is to die for! Thanks for sharing. I am in the process of putting my sewing studio in a bedroom. I will take a few ideas from you. Thanks again....Love your room
WOW what a blessing you are ! Thanks so much for sharing this , I can’t stand the jumble of cords either ! What a great idea !!! Just doing my sewing room , your space should make you happy and yours is AWESOME
Beautiful and so well organized! Thank you so much for listing out all of the pieces you used, I think this will be helpful to me when I go to Ikea, Thank you!
I agree with you on the Brother 1034D serger. I had one for 10+ years (got it at Walmart, my first serger) and sewed tons of stuff including cloth diapers (thick!) on it. I had replaced the knife once but eventually another metal part failed (can't recall what now) that I couldn't replace, so I pitched it and bought a Janome, thinking it was an upgrade (cost 4x the amount of the Brother) - I hate it! fussy to thread and no free arm! Thinking I will sell it and get another cheap Brother.
I got that 3 piece cutting mat and you were right about the metal connectors - they caught fabric and would fly off. So I removed those connectors and use painting tape on the back to keep them together. Then the only problem is the seam - when you rotary cut over them there are times where just one thread won't cut because it's right over the seam.
So many great ideas and great use of the space. A place for everything and everything in its place. I understand about the cat in the window. Been there, done that.
Wow, that is an amazing sewing room! Very inspirational and lots of ideas, although I don’t sew a lot (home decor sewing), it is important to have a space that works for each person’s needs. Happy Sewing!
beautiful room! I haven't seen any pattern weights or ideas for hanging patterns with other tours. That could solve some daily frustrations for my workspace
What are the rough dimensions of your room? The space I am setting up is a basement utility room with open space of 12' x 16'. I love the way you've stored various items, there's a pleasant continuity & flow. Will take some of your ideas and put them to use as I set up my own craft room. IKEA is a crafters friend. Well done and Thank You for putting your mind to this formidable task!
I had an aweha moment with a great solution for the thread storage to over keep thread from unraveling all over. I bought the 3d dots and try to remember to use them especially before I put them away. I do have mats most of my machine embroidery threads, but they still will unravel. Try the dots they can be reused and are very cheap. Sherry D
I know this is an older video, but I love it! And funny side note: you pointed out your chair that you said it's surprisingly comfortable. I have the same chair and I love it. Lol
What a great space you have designed. You can tell a lot of thought went into this, really nice job. Love your gnomes. They are the best pattern weights ever.
You may not realize, but there are online stores where you can custom-order the cutting mats. That way you can get one that really works for your table. I’m thinking of one.
I’m laughing as we did the same thing we moved our California King bed to the smallest room in the house & had to take out the closet to put our dressers in there. We have a 3 bedroom house & now use the master bedroom for the sewing room
What nice sewing room I also have my own room so this just gives me some great ideas for placement of my furniture and parifinalia. I don’t think my husband would give up the master suit for my sewing room 🤔
Such a cool work/hobby space. I love love it. Nice to have the bathroom handy too. Can you tell me what size Starlite boxes fit your ikea cubes? They look so nice and functional. Thanks for sharing !!
@@SewcalSewcialite Plus it allows the most space when you don't have a basement and 2 small bedrooms!! You go girl 👏💃👣💃🧵🧵 I'm a new subscriber. I'll be watching you for sure 👍 !!
Your sewing room looks amazing. You've given me some great ideas for when I decide to update my sewing area. I want to get a gravity feed iron too and the counterweights on the IV pole is a great solution. Thanks for sharing!
You have such a beautiful sewing space! I am in the process of reorganizing my sewing space and I would like to know where did you get the beautiful artwork hanging on your wall? I was hoping that you would talk about it. I love the ladies wearing the vintage black dresses 👗 Please let me know. Thanks 😊
FYI - they make kitty beds that suction to windows for our wonderful little fur babies. :) Can you do a tutorial on how to make the weighted gnomes????? I would LOVE that! Your sewing room is AWESOME!!!!! I would put my sewing room in the master bedroom, but there are no working outlets in there (it is an older house & needs help). But that is a great idea. :)
@@SewcalSewcialite One of the blogs I follow has a couple in their camper for both their cats. I will ask her what brand they are and get back to you. If you want to check her out her blog is catpatches.blogspot.com I love those gnomes and would like to make some.
Oh this is a beautiful room, Emily!! I’m quite partial to your furry gentleman enjoying his nap in the window. This space is a total WOW and I’m so happy for you!! Excellent organization, you’ve left no stone unturned and it’s just gorgeous while being functional. Congrats!!🎊
Thank you sew much! I'm so grateful to have this space ❤️ I'm quite partial to my furry assistant, too! Of course, where he would be able to sleep was at the forefront of my mind 😺 Luckily I have bins of fabric that boost him right up -- Oliver & Fabric, my two Loves 😹❤️🧵✂️
Do you mind sharing the size of the room? I love the setup! One of the best I have seen! I will be moving in a few months and will have a room dedicated so I am searching for ideas. Thank you for sharing💖
Very nicely put together. May I ask how high up should a cutting table come to alleviate back strain? You mentioned being 5'9", what is the height of the 4 drawer chest including the butcher block top? Trying to get an idea of what height would work for me at 5'7" tall for a cutting table.. Thank you xo PS: really like your gnome pattern weights! So cute
Thank you! The dressers that hold up the table top are about 39" high, and the thickness of the table adds another 1.5". I personally chose a height where I didn't need to bend, at all. It works well! I love my pattern weight gnomes, thank you! 🌈💜
Really nice and well planned. I'm looking for inspiration for my sewing room makeover so I'll probably pinch some of your ideas.😂 Psst......I know what you mean about the smell of those green cutting mats! 🤭It does fade tho. 🙂
I want a U shape system so I don't need to stand up after I cut out all my patterns. So sewing machine in the middle serger on my left and iron on my right. My basic rudimentary arrangement is like that. I cut out everything I need at once, gather all the notions I need but most if it is on a reachable craft bag below sewing machine and make sure my iron is filled with enough water and then my snacks and tablet for netflix on the right corner table of my sewing machine so I don't stand up until my project is done or need a bathroom break
That would be a great set-up! and my old sewing room my ironing station was to my left so I didn't really have to get up. And this room I couldn't really make that work. But I really like your u-shape idea! ☺️
Wonderful sewing space! I too used the big bedroom for my sewing when I moved, I love having a bathroom attached. I also have the laundry in that bathroom- so handy for fabric prep before storage. I have yet to settle everything in, afraid to put stuff on the walls in case I change it around! You give me great ideas and will definitely check out that ironing board.
Thank you! I say, if you can use the bigger bedroom for a sewing room, go for it! Having a bathroom attached is nice, too. My laundry room is right next door, which is an added bonus. I really do like that ironing board, so if you get it I hope you like it too ☺️ Happy Sewing! 🧵
Great room and set up!! Thanks for sharing. What type organizer do you have on your little rolling cart? That's a great idea and it looks like a perfect fit!
I bought a 24 X 36 Olfa mat and it was very thin and it smelled terribly. Sent it back and bought a True Cut mat. No smell, but still not as thick as my little 18 x 24 Dritz mat I started out with
I am wondering if there is a thin double-sided tape that is strong enough to to keep the warped edges down? Thx for the interesting tour. Handsome shop. Butcher block, eh? Great idea! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙂 Btw . . . Luv the colored lights. I love lights, too. 😁
Your sewing room is beautiful! It’s very well thought out. I have incorporated some of your ideas and some from Vivmon Sews into my sewing room. I took over a large bedroom as well, and I have used IKEA for much of my organizing. (They are a fabulous company.) Do you have a hard time restraining yourself from buying fabric? That’s something that I’m putting the reigns on myself-until I use up at least some things in my stash. This is easier said than done! I love fabric and patterns it seems. Thanks for showing us your lovely sewing space-I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you! I definitely have a very difficult time resting myself buying fabric 😆 All 8 drawers are full fo fabric, plus the 4 bins I have under the table, plus 5 other bins or so in the laundry room. When I moved, I overwhelmed myself with how much fabric I have, so I've been trying to sew up my stash! It's very hard not to buy, though 😉
Here's how I solved growing my fabric stash. I got several glass-fronted standing bookcases/curio stands and moved my fabric there. Since I can SEE what I have, I'm less likely to shop for more. The glass doors keep the dust off. Before, I'd have to dig through bins and drawers, lifting up the stack to see what was underneath.

Then the only problem is the seam - when you rotary cut over them there are times where just one thread won't cut because it's right over the seam.
It was a good idea in theory and a money saving option to have three pieces. But alas, for cutting fabric it’s not ideal. Thanks for watching!

Amazing setup. I can tell you put a lot of thought into it. Thanks for sharing.
What a great space you have designed. You can tell a lot of thought went into this, really nice job. Love your gnomes. They are the best pattern weights ever.
Thank you! :-)
Love your sewing space 😍
Thank you sew much! 💞
I have been debating about using ikea...thx for the positive report!
I think it's the best affordable option so far. Thank you for watching 😊
You may not realize, but there are online stores where you can custom-order the cutting mats. That way you can get one that really works for your table. I’m thinking of one.
Oh, that's great info! So far this mat has been working out ♥️🙏
I’m laughing as we did the same thing we moved our California King bed to the smallest room in the house & had to take out the closet to put our dressers in there. We have a 3 bedroom house & now use the master bedroom for the sewing room
Great tour. Love your ideas and the whole set up. Well planned and thought out!☺️
Thank you! ❤️
You have the ultimate sewing studio. It's wonderful.
Thank you! 🌸 I am really pleased with how it came out 😃
What nice sewing room I also have my own room so this just gives me some great ideas for placement of my furniture and parifinalia. I don’t think my husband would give up the master suit for my sewing room 🤔
Awesome! I figured since it's just me, why not make the master bedroom the studio? 😆🧵✂️
Love your room! You should order a cutting mat from Martelli. Bar none they are the best mats i have ever used!
Thank you so much, and thank you for the cutting mat tip 🙂
A great use of space! Really great set up every where!
Thank you sew much 😃🧵
Such a cool work/hobby space. I love love it. Nice to have the bathroom handy too. Can you tell me what size Starlite boxes fit your ikea cubes? They look so nice and functional. Thanks for sharing !!
Hi there! Sorry for the delay in my reply as I don't always get notified when comments come in. These are the 15 quart boxes. Thanks for watching!
You think like me!! I changed my bedroom into a sewing studio!! It just works!!
I love it! It just made sense to me if my sewing studio is where I spend the majority of my waking hours and I only sleep iny bedroom 🤷♀️😃
@@SewcalSewcialite Plus it allows the most space when you don't have a basement and 2 small bedrooms!! You go girl 👏💃👣💃🧵🧵 I'm a new subscriber. I'll be watching you for sure 👍 !!
@@thesewingbratt966 Awesome! Welcome to my channel and thank you! ❤️🧵
Thankyou for tour of your sewing space, gave me some great ideas for my space 💜
Your welcome, and thank you! I'm glad I was able to share some ideas 😃
Your sewing room looks amazing. You've given me some great ideas for when I decide to update my sewing area. I want to get a gravity feed iron too and the counterweights on the IV pole is a great solution. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, Crystal! :-)
A very beautiful space and so well organized! I Love it!
Thank you! 🙂🧵
Would love to have a large closet like yours. Mine is only 3ft wide and 18” deep.
What a beautiful and perfectly set up space! TFS!!
Thank you! 😊🧵
Thank you for sharing your beautiful sewing space
Thank you so much for watching ☺️🧵
It's really well organized food job i wish you lots of fun
Thank you sew much! 🧵
The gnomes are really cute
Thank you so much! They are very helpful and make me happy :-)
You have such a beautiful sewing space! I am in the process of reorganizing my sewing space and I would like to know where did you get the beautiful artwork hanging on your wall? I was hoping that you would talk about it. I love the ladies wearing the vintage black dresses 👗 Please let me know. Thanks 😊
Hi there! Thanks for watching! The ladies are in the Simplicity Vintage Black Dress Evolution Poster. The other artwork I got in London at museums 😊
Love your space! So organized and pretty!
Thank you!
FYI - they make kitty beds that suction to windows for our wonderful little fur babies. :) Can you do a tutorial on how to make the weighted gnomes????? I would LOVE that! Your sewing room is AWESOME!!!!! I would put my sewing room in the master bedroom, but there are no working outlets in there (it is an older house & needs help). But that is a great idea. :)
Thank you! I've seen those beds and was wondering if the suction cups actually work. I'm thinking of doing a tutorial on my gnomes 🍄
@@SewcalSewcialite One of the blogs I follow has a couple in their camper for both their cats. I will ask her what brand they are and get back to you. If you want to check her out her blog is catpatches.blogspot.com I love those gnomes and would like to make some.
Oh this is a beautiful room, Emily!! I’m quite partial to your furry gentleman enjoying his nap in the window. This space is a total WOW and I’m so happy for you!! Excellent organization, you’ve left no stone unturned and it’s just gorgeous while being functional. Congrats!!🎊
Thank you sew much! I'm so grateful to have this space ❤️ I'm quite partial to my furry assistant, too! Of course, where he would be able to sleep was at the forefront of my mind 😺 Luckily I have bins of fabric that boost him right up -- Oliver & Fabric, my two Loves 😹❤️🧵✂️
Nice sew space, not too busy👍🏾
Thank you!
Do you mind sharing the size of the room? I love the setup! One of the best I have seen! I will be moving in a few months and will have a room dedicated so I am searching for ideas. Thank you for sharing💖
Hi there! I have an entry way to the room, but the "useable" measurements are 13'8" by 14'4" 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🧵💜
@@SewcalSewcialite thank you!
Very nicely put together. May I ask how high up should a cutting table come to alleviate back strain? You mentioned being 5'9", what is the height of the 4 drawer chest including the butcher block top? Trying to get an idea of what height would work for me at 5'7" tall for a cutting table.. Thank you xo PS: really like your gnome pattern weights! So cute
Thank you! The dressers that hold up the table top are about 39" high, and the thickness of the table adds another 1.5". I personally chose a height where I didn't need to bend, at all. It works well! I love my pattern weight gnomes, thank you! 🌈💜
Really nice and well planned. I'm looking for inspiration for my sewing room makeover so I'll probably pinch some of your ideas.😂
Psst......I know what you mean about the smell of those green cutting mats! 🤭It does fade tho. 🙂
Wow! Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you! ☺️🧵
Thank you for sharing your awesome sewing space. That is a wonderful room to sew in.
Thank you sew much! 🧵❤️
Very nice. It gave me some good ideas!
Thank you 😊
I want a U shape system so I don't need to stand up after I cut out all my patterns. So sewing machine in the middle serger on my left and iron on my right. My basic rudimentary arrangement is like that. I cut out everything I need at once, gather all the notions I need but most if it is on a reachable craft bag below sewing machine and make sure my iron is filled with enough water and then my snacks and tablet for netflix on the right corner table of my sewing machine so I don't stand up until my project is done or need a bathroom break
That would be a great set-up! and my old sewing room my ironing station was to my left so I didn't really have to get up. And this room I couldn't really make that work. But I really like your u-shape idea! ☺️
Wonderful sewing space! I too used the big bedroom for my sewing when I moved, I love having a bathroom attached. I also have the laundry in that bathroom- so handy for fabric prep before storage. I have yet to settle everything in, afraid to put stuff on the walls in case I change it around! You give me great ideas and will definitely check out that ironing board.
Thank you! I say, if you can use the bigger bedroom for a sewing room, go for it! Having a bathroom attached is nice, too. My laundry room is right next door, which is an added bonus. I really do like that ironing board, so if you get it I hope you like it too ☺️ Happy Sewing! 🧵
Great room and set up!! Thanks for sharing. What type organizer do you have on your little rolling cart? That's a great idea and it looks like a perfect fit!
Thank you! It's a little sewing caddy, I think I got it at JoAnn but I could be wrong. I shall investigate 😊
The space looks amazing. I'm curious about the pattern you point to @3:08, the red dress. I'd love the details!
Thank you! The dress pattern is a Vintage Vogue reproduction from 1931. It's Vogue 2241 😃
I bought a 24 X 36 Olfa mat and it was very thin and it smelled terribly. Sent it back and bought a True Cut mat. No smell, but still not as thick as my little 18 x 24 Dritz mat I started out with
I've heard of people having trouble with Olfa occasionally. I have two 24x36 Olfa's and they didn't smell... I'm beginning to think it's hit and miss!
Beautiful sewing studio love it! Please we’re did you purchase your overhead tripod for filming tutorial didn’t find it in the description thank you
Thank you! I got it on Amazon: amzn.to/3qhGH8l
I am wondering if there is a thin double-sided tape that is strong enough to to keep the warped edges down? Thx for the interesting tour. Handsome shop. Butcher block, eh? Great idea! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙂
Btw . . . Luv the colored lights. I love lights, too. 😁
Luckily those edges finally settled! But the double sided tape is a good idea 🙂
Looks amazing! So organized!
Thank you! ☺️
Gnomes are so adorable. Do you have a pattern for them? Your sewing room is fantastic! You’ve given some ideas to use in mine👍💗💗
Thank you! I just drafted the gnome pattern myself.
Your sewing room is beautiful! It’s very well thought out. I have incorporated some of your ideas and some from Vivmon Sews into my sewing room. I took over a large bedroom as well, and I have used IKEA for much of my organizing. (They are a fabulous company.) Do you have a hard time restraining yourself from buying fabric? That’s something that I’m putting the reigns on myself-until I use up at least some things in my stash. This is easier said than done! I love fabric and patterns it seems. Thanks for showing us your lovely sewing space-I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you! I definitely have a very difficult time resting myself buying fabric 😆 All 8 drawers are full fo fabric, plus the 4 bins I have under the table, plus 5 other bins or so in the laundry room. When I moved, I overwhelmed myself with how much fabric I have, so I've been trying to sew up my stash! It's very hard not to buy, though 😉
Here's how I solved growing my fabric stash. I got several glass-fronted standing bookcases/curio stands and moved my fabric there. Since I can SEE what I have, I'm less likely to shop for more. The glass doors keep the dust off. Before, I'd have to dig through bins and drawers, lifting up the stack to see what was underneath.
@@lindahoskin6617Good idea! The glass front is very helpful so you can see. Half the problem is we forget what we have 😆
