Today I show you around my sewing room, it has changed a bit from last time I showed you round. I show you how I organise my sewing and craft supplies, how I organise my sewing, quilting, EPP projects, how I store my embroidery threads and more!
I hope you like the video, thank you for watching.

What a lovely, relaxing, creative space you have to work in. When we down sized 6 years ago, we found a house with a second kitchen in the finished basement. I immediately claimed the space for my sewing space! There is built-in storage, countertops and space for a table for my sewing machine, a cutting table and an ironing station. It’s perfect! I didn’t have to wait for anything to be installed, etc. - just unpacked and started creating!
Emma, your room is so beautiful and organized. I would love to work in your room. It reflects you as a person. Enjoy every moment you get to spend in there. I love your videos. Thanks
Oh thank you Mary! Such lovely words, take care 😊🌸
Lovely room! The soft colour palette has relaxing vibe that would really encourage the slow and contemplative handwork you do. Since you want to fill that wall space, AND don't like the appearance of the cutting board, I wonder if there's a way to get or make a picture frame that the cutting board can nest into the back of, with a grey or white flannel on styro or cork board fronting as a small-project "design wall"? Watching your videos has inspired me to finally start hexing up my quilting scraps pile, for something to do on planes now that I'm a long-distance grandma. I'm just waiting for some EPP papers to arrive, and thinking of containers. Already sourced a tray and book light that will fit under a plane seat as "persona item", and look forward to some fun getting that kitted out. Thanks for these videos!
Oh what a great idea about the picture frame, thank you so much. I’m so happy to hear you are starting a hexie project; and how great that you can take the tray on a place! Wishing you many happy stitching hours 😊🌸
My niece gave me a wonderful idea to use the cutting part of dental floss container for cutting thread while on airplane. Takes up less room than scissors.
@@patriciagechei8145 Brilliant, thanks! I once had my little pair of folding scissors confiscated by security. It was a tiny plane so the funny thing was they gave them to the pilot to hold, and he pilot put them in a basket of mints (the onboard refreshments!) and sat the basket on a seat a few feet away from me. I sat staring at them while biting my threads off my project...
That is a genius idea! Both the wall hanging, and the work on the plane!
What a beautiful, inspiring space in which to work! I love your choices of fabric colors. My sewing area is so disorganized right now. Even your storage containers make me happy and inspired to look at...I would love to be sewing there.
Aww thank you Patricia. It’s hard to keep
Sewing things organised because we have so many bits and pieces don’t we. Thanks so much for watching 😊
Thank you for inviting us into your enchanted sewing room!
Thank you for this delightful tour!
You are such an inspiration!
Thank you so very much!
thank you for coming along!
Oh Mercy! It's all so beautiful! I would love to have a room just for sewing. My situation is unusual, I have one side of the downstairs for my bed and dresser and the other side is for sewing and hobby but both are curtained off separately
My son is actually building me a small shed in the garden which will be weather proof, so I have ideas of moving the sewing out there, but we shall see.
The setting and layout of your room is purposeful and lovely. I could imagine walking in there and feeling the urge to work on beautiful projects! I also have many different things going, projects here and there. Like you said, it's nice to work on the ones you feel inspired by at the moment.
Thank you for the beauty and inspiration and overall peace and happiness you give through this channel!
thank you for watching Mel. How lovely that your son is building you a shed. I can imagine how lovely it would be to sit out in the garden to sew from there. Wishing you lots of happy stitching time
Thank you for sharing your lovely sewing space with us Emma! Everything is beautiful and you've made a great job of your sewing room. I am slowly taking over a small room for my creative pursuits but I can only do a small amount each day as my strength and mobility are poor. You've inspired me to allow myself to make time and space for my creative hobbies and now at 61 I'm feeling entitled to have my own space! Better late than never! I so enjoy your videos and bless the day I accidentally came across your lovely channel on you tube! I'm really glad you are running your own business and think that is so right for you and also for your family and I wish you every blessing for a happy and successful future doing what you enjoy. God bless from vera in Northern Ireland.
I am so happy to hear you are developing a room for your hobbies Vera, that is so lovely. I am sorry to hear you have strength and mobility issues, but I hope that just doing a little bit of sewing each day brings you lots of joy. Take care and thank you for watching
Your videos are so relaxing to watch :) x
Do you do your video editing here or do you have another space for that? Do you do all your stitching in that chair or do you have a more comfy chair for slow stitching? 💖🌞🌵😷
I do all of my video editing there, and writing patterns, all computer work. I do most of my stitching too, I do sit downstairs with my new tray table to stitch sometimes but mostly I am up here in the sewing room
Such a beautiful room 😍 where do you find all the beautiful tins, trays and sewing boxes? They are really cute !
I’ve just collected them over many years really. Lots are from Cath Kidston 🌸
I enjoyed seeing your sewing space! It’s lovely, and your personal style is so sweet and really shines in your space. My sewing space is a couple small tables in the corner of our open plan living area plus some space in a closet for fabric. I’d love to have my own room but I am able to have everything I need in my little space still 😊
You space sounds lovely Kara, and it’s nice that you can be with the rest of your household whilst you sew. Thank you for watching 😊
Hi Emma lovely to see you hope you and your family are well love looking at other peoples craft rooms love your boxes with bits and bobs in keep safe
Hi Delia, thank you for watching, I’m glad you liked the little tour, stay safe 🌸
Thanks for sharing your sewing room with us! I have a large sewing room but oh my not as neat as yours, esp the cutting table at the moment is full of fabrics that I am using to make my hexi quilt. Now I need to spend my day tiding up my room!
Thank you for watching Susan, I hope you get organised 😊
I can understand why you are so inspired in this room. It’s very calming. I have been creating a space in our home for 23 years when we moved here but as life evolved, my space changed. I always seemed to be boxing and unboxing and reorganizing but never actually had a space that lasted. I retired in 2010 and was all set up to sew in a beautiful big room with big windows and two closets and we traveled some for a year and a half. Then I went back to work at the same job I thought I’d retired from. Four years later, I finally actually retired to care for my mom. I renovated my sewing space into an apartment for her and moved my sewing space into a small bedroom with a walk-in closet. But caring for my mom was 24/7 and I mostly did some counted cross stitch when she was sleeping. She passed away a year ago and I’m just moving back into the big room with the big windows. I’ve pulled all my sewing things and fabrics out of the boxes I had packed them away in. So now I have two rooms, four closets, a kitchenette, and bathroom (the whole second floor) for my sewing area. I have new replacement windows being installed in a month or so. I just got an old double sewing machine table a neighbor gave me which holds my heavy duty machine and my serger now. I never dreamed I would have such a lovely environment to sew in. My husband is putting up fluorescent lighting, my mother’s large TV is a monitor for tutorials, and her dresser now holds skeins of wool, serger thread, fabrics, and floss. It is so much more than I ever thought I could have. I thought when I moved my mother in with us that she and I would have time to sew together but it wasn’t to happen. Now her space and sewing things are combined with mine. I like to think that in a way we are still making things together.
I’m so sorry to hear your mother passed away. I think you are right about you creating together because your things are combined now, and that will be a lovely way to remember her. Take care and thank you for watching 🌸
What a lovely room. I love Emma s channel. She is so inspiring and calming. I have some Nice boxes that I'm now going to use for my sewing. Thanks Emma. Helen O'Gorman a
So glad you liked it, thank you for watching Helen 🌸
So lovely to watch your video as I stitch, here in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Thanks for your inspiration. Liz
Would love to see a WIP parade style of video as I love this peek into your sewing
That is a great idea Rachel! Added to my video idea list, thank you!
Thank you for the inspiring video . I am going to try and get organized and hopefully get sewing my projects soon.
Love your sewing room.
Can I ask please where you got your blue project bag from? As I've been looking for something like that.
Thank you Carol. If you means the one that has little owls on it, it was from Cath Kidston a while ago. They often have great little bags for projects 😊
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox Thank you so much you have given me confidence with do my patchwork I find it so calming and relaxing.
Вельми вдячна ! Файна рукодільна кімната, все зручно і охайно! Супер!
What a beautiful space I’ve only got a very small room I’m trying to make it look nice
Lovely soft room. My creative space also doubles as my workspace as I work from home. Thank you for sharing 😍❤
Thank you for watching Kathy 🌸
I enjoy your videos ..... very inspirational I am going to make the lovely xmas stocking as a little project I found last week ❤
I have got to pull everything of my sewing studio and reorganize from scratch. I have a small bedroom with a closet as my space, but it’s getting a bit chaotic. I want my space to feel as peaceful as yours looks. Thank you for the inspiration!
I am sure with a bit of organising you can create a lovely space to work in. Thank you for watching
Love your sewing room. I was 70 before I was able to turn a spare bedroom into a sewing room. Every single day I thoroughly enjoy being in there. I have 3 bookcases, cutting table, set of drawers, rolling cart, etc from Ikea. It brings me so much joy as yours seems to bring to you.
It is so lovely to hear your room brings you so much joy. Wishing you many hours of happy stitching in there. Thank you for watching
Dreams can come true!🌈 I am envious of your sewing space 'Fluffy' that has room for 3 bookcases! One day...💖
It is a sweet room. I love your boxes. I also appreciate that you have many projects, I always feel that I have to finish a project before I can start another. This sometimes makes me very anxious and lessens the joy. As a grandmother I can say your gram would love your space and your shop. I'm sure she peeks in and smiles. Thank you for your videos.
Aww thank you Carlynne, I really hope she does peek in. You are so right about how having lots of unfinished things can lessen the joy, but I’ve really tried to let go of that feeling, I still battle with it but once I let go I enjoyed creating so much more x
Beautiful vlog ........you look after your happy space beautifully.......you are my inspiration thank you ....ps I have taken over the dinning room table lol....
aww thank you Loraine. Sewing is more important than mealtimes isn't it! Wishing you many happy stitching hours

A fabulous and inspiring work room you have Emma. It’s lovely to have had a tour of your sewing room and to hear how it’s how evolved over the years. I use to have a craft wardrobe in our previous house but now i just have project bags, baskets, Little floral cases and Woolwarehouse bags storing all my things. I have a corner of the lounge where i keep things where i sit and it does me fine for now. One day i hope to have a room dedicated for just my crafts and sit in to read my books or just catch my breath. I love be the idea of a gallery wall and excited to see that evolve over time. Thank you for sharing lovely lady and hope you are all keeping very well? lots of love and hugs from me in Fife xx 🌸🤗
Aww thanks so much Natalie. Ive seen your cosy corner on your channel I’m sure, I love your style and your bags and baskets. Thanks so so much for watching. I hope you and your family are keeping well up in beautiful Fife x x
You have a truly lovely sewing room, filled with a variety of beautiful supplies and objects. I have a small box room which has been converted into a craft room. However, I’m interested in lots of crafts, so my shelves are filled with many different supplies. I love it though.
I love lots of different crafts too, it’s lovely to have so many things to turn to isn’t it. Thank you for watching
Lovely room Emma... Thanks for the tour. Always enjoy your videos and catching up on your latest projects. 💖💙💜
Thank you for watching Sue 🌸
Lovely, wonderfull and marvelous room! 😍
I wish....
You are such an inspiration! Please keep on sharing. Thank you so much!💝
Aww thank you! So kind
Hi Emma. Loved seeing how your sewing room is coming along. My favourites are the pretty boxes. My sewing room is a second bedroom 10 ft x 11 ft. I have my two sewing machines, embroidery machine, IKEA cutting table, two rolling carts, and a larger cart for my pressing station. In the closet are two book cases where I organize my fabrics by colour, my love of horses, and EPP flower fabrics. On the windowsill are some precious items from my Moms sewing room. And my design wall is in the hallway, which I’m liking because it’s like rotating artwork without making holes in the wall.
oh your room sounds so wonderful Terry! thank you for describing it for me.
Such a lovely, creative heartwarming place. Thank you for sharing.🥰 your work is so lovely. It’s an courage to me to continue forging ahead with my EPP as well.
Im so happy you liked it, thank you!
I really love your sewing room!! I also, love the the "house" shape storage box you have. Did you purchase or make it? I would really love one of those!! I have a large sewing room and a med. size craft room (both of unorganized at this time) - that's my next project getting things organized. I really appreciate all that you do. Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day!!
Thank you so much for watching! I bought the house sewing box, I have another video on my channel all about my sewing box collection. They don't make them anymore unfortunately
Love all the tins! Never can have too many! My sewing space/storage room is called 'the computer room', even though we all have laptops now, but it has been storing my equipment, tools and fabric for many years. However, when I got a new Pfaff sewing machine, the computer desk became a full time sewing station, or at least it would if my schoolwork preparations didn't get in the way. I too use plastic stacking boxes with divided sections as project boxes, but I love the pink 15 section filing cabinet. Feeling like I need to do a big clear up in there this morning, so I shall have another cup of tea and hopefully the feeling will go away!😀🌸💖
Thank you for watching Laura. It’s nice to hear about your sewing space, you sound well organised with your storage boxes. Take care x
Qué hermosura, por Dios!!.. Me gustan mucho los exágonos... Pero veo que tú me ganas.
Todo lo de tu cuarto de manualidades es exquisito! Te felicito por ese buen gusto para coleccionar cosas lindas y decorar tan perfecto todo.
Gracias por compartir para deleitarnos. 😍🌹
¡muchas gracias! Estoy tan feliz de que te haya gustado el video. gracias por tus amables palabras
Wonderful organizing! You’ve inspired me to get my craft room in shape! Thanks!
Thank you Cindy. Have fun getting organised 😊
Thank goodness you are back. I am glad you had a break --- but missed you. Your sewing room is so precious. I bougth from a distributor here in the USA---the stay in hexiforms. I haven't used them yet but if it will make it easier for me and faster--- that's what I want. I am 80 yrs old and I tire quicker and my hands can get to hurting. Could you pls show how to make a cute little house. I think you use a hexi sheet fabric..I can order a hexi sheet from USA distributor. From Kansas
Hi Elizabeth, thank you for watching. I am planning on releasing some little house patterns, it will probably be in the new year, my to do list before Christmas is rather large but it will definitely happen. 😊
Hi Emma
Love the video. Love your sewing room. My sewing room is a project in the making. It was my daughter's room plus it need some building work so I'm camping out in there. My parents were upholsterers and I have mums cuttingwork table. Dad's light. The table I sew on is my nan's. I feel surrounded by them. I love my space and we love more when the building work it done.
How lovely that you have such personal and meaningful pieces Christine, that’s really special. Thank you for watching 😊
I really like your EPP philosophy, different days I feel like different projects too!
I'm so glad! It's good to go with what you feel like doing rather than what you think you should do
I'm actually really curious about the clover pressing pad, this is the first time I've seen, it and I'm really curious about the sandpaper side and how it is used. Ah, irons... I'll admit that I've been looking at smaller irons for epp. Your little boxes and tins are super cute, and I love how you have the shallow project drawer. I feel like I'm always inspired by your videos as I watch. I should probably go see if you have any getting started posts on your blog. I will keep an eye out for kits from your shop. I feel like I am still wondering around when it comes to getting more supplies (time to go build up my notions and fabric wishlist). One of these days I would love to try hexiform, but I will probably stick with paper for now, since I have the dies for it.
Sewing space... I don't really have any. My work desk is a table in the dining area, and that is where I do most of my cutting and I usually stitch where I can. No really dedicated space right now since it is a pretty new hobby right now. Thank you again for the inspiring video.
Thank you so much for watching. The sandpaper is used to hold fabric still if you are marking it, so perhaps you are drawing around a template to fussy cut your fabric, it would help with that. You can also lay your pieces out for your block and it holds them still. I hope that helps
I agree what a beautiful, inspiring and calm space to work in. Love the colours and all the different things. It is so you. Many thanks for sharing. Take care. x Blessings x Mariana UK xx
Aww thank you ever so much Mariana x
Thanks for the updated tour Emma. Love your new drawers. Where did you get the bisley drawers? I'm struggling to find them online. Also where did you get the suitcase please? My craft room is small but filled with beautiful and treasured items like yours. I have a large framed collection of cross stitches I made for my nana over the years, I got them back when she died xx
Hi Laura, thank you for watching. I got the drawers directly from Bisley actually, I will leave a link here www.bisley.com/shop/
I will also link the suitcase, it’s super cute. www.jolipompon.co.uk/products?utf8=✓&search=Suitcase
I remember you were looking for the little Laura Ashley drawers last time and you found the ribbon box I think it was. We definitely have similar tastes don’t we. Take care x
It's a gorgeous, inspiring room. I live in a shared house, in one room. All my boxes and storage need to be pretty even if it's tucked in a cupboard. Being in a small space I need to be organized and it helps for my storage to look beautiful too. I love your pink filing cabinet by the way. That would be amazing to store my miniature items!
thank you so much for watching. I totally agree about using pretty storage, it makes organising more enjoyable too doesn't it
Oh love your craft room . I`m in a 1 bedroon apartment and i give my crafts (epp, quilting , machine enbroidery) all in a corner . I just get wat im working on and bring it out . then sometimes LOL put back . I like the idea of having different containers for each project . will have to go to our dallars store and pick up some containers . maybe my corner would look much neater . Thanks
Thanks for watching Susan. You made me laugh when you said you sometimes put things away, I’m the same, tidying up is the hard part! Take care
At about 2 minutes into this video you show a small cabinet with nine drawers each one with pictures of sewing related items. Did it come that way? Or are they painted on by you? Or perhaps decals? I have two similar cabinets from IKEA that I’ve had for years and they are unfinished wood. I’d love to do something like this with them. Thanks
Hello, yes that little cabinet came that way, it was a lucky find. It was from Laura Ashley but they don't make it anymore. However you could definitely make something similar or even better in the way you described. Thanks so much for watching
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful sewing space I 😍😍it. It's pretty amazing.
Thank you for watching 😊
I just discovered your channel tonight, so I know nothing about you, or your channel or your “shop” that you mention. Do you have a specific episode on what your shop is and what it looks like? Is your shop in your home. I would love to see pictures of it. I live in the state of Idaho in the USA in a small town in a fairly small senior citizen apartment. I have a sewing room that is nice enough. I’ve had to down size my sewing tidbits, so I could fit it into a smaller sewing room. But no matter how much I downsize, I always manage to get “built back up”. Ha! I hope we can get to know each other better as time goes on. I love all your things. I love boxes and tons of just things, too. I think I will enjoy your channel. I should be going to sleep, but yi think Iveill look at one more of your past videos.
Hi Anne, thanks ever so much for checking out my channel and videos, it will be lovely to get to know you. You sound like me, I always have lots of things around me. My shop is an online shop on my website and what I showed on the bookshelf is basically all it is, I have very limited space. I just sell the things I use and that I absolutely love. Thanks so much, have a lovely day
I loved your sewing room . I am trying to organize my space . It is in the basement, I painted my walls a very pale pink , but I have not had the money for any flooring . I have three very old sewing machines and one fairly new one . A very old fashion ironing board and little boxes and tins and glass jars with buttons and the like . It’s definitely not near as pretty as yours but I am very thankful for what I have . You have given me some new ideas . Thank you very much .
Your space sounds lovely Barbara, lovely to be surrounded by your precious things 🌸
Being in the US I'm not use to seeing all the flowery things. It's lovely and feminine. Enjoyed your sewing room tour. Thank you.
Thanks so much Brenda
Tell your husband the shallow drawers are a valuable time saver, for keeping a lot of ideas easily accessable, so you are free to work on any one of them without a big time-consuming, unstacking, and restacking session. This saving of time and effort, makes you happy, and as you can get to more of them, you are more likely to get some of them finished, then have somewhere for another to be put in the emptied drawers as they become available. They may just be one of the most useful purchases you have made, keeping your creative 'juices' flowing. I love that you can just move the whole drawer to where you want to work on it, then put it back neatly and so easily. Well done you. For your wall space, have you heard about idea/mood boards? Where you can put a cork board or one that holds things with magnets, or a mixture, so you can keep on seeing your idea, the colours you are trying out for it, any inspirational picture references, and can pin up a sample block to help you remember what you want to achieve, or to see if something grows on you or not. All the best.
Thank you Kathleen, I will tell him, you are totally right. And a mood board is a super idea, thank you! Take care and thanks for watching 🌸
Lovely video, Emma. I think you've created a really enchanting sewing room.
thank you so much June, it is definitely my happy place
I love your work room Emma I wish mine was as tidy! Do you mind me asking where you got your little drawers the ones with the pictures of sewing things on? They are lovely. Love your videos and your sewing projects.
thank you Heather. It was from Laura Ashley many moons ago. You might be able to find one on eBay though
Lovely Emma, organised but still pretty, it’s a very pleasant room to work in, plentry of light, roomy and everything to hand.
Thank you so much, I really do enjoy working in here 🌸
Beautiful room! Love your wallpaper too! My sewing/craft room is in my basement and not nearly as pretty but it is my happy place and that’s what counts!
Absolutely, it’s so nice to have a space for your crafts isn’t it, I’m very lucky 🌸
Hi Emma, your sewing room is so darling. Did you make the house boxes or did you purchase them ? If you bought them, where can I get one? Thanks for the video
Hi Barb, I bought them from Cath Kidston many years ago, they don’t make them anymore but keep a look out on eBay 😊
I’m not a Cricut fan … but I do love that Mini Easy press, I couldn’t live without mine now! 4:10
Your space is so pretty!
Thank you!
Love your room! May I ask where you got the adorable cottage sewing boxes from (shown around 6:14 and 16:22)? Thank you.
Thank you! They are from Cath Kidston but they don't make them anymore. I talk about them in more detail in my new video which will be up tonight
Pretty room. What is the difference between Liberty and Liberty lawn fabrics. Other than price of course because one is double in price!!
Liberty is the brand and is also a shop. Tana lawn is just one of the types of fabrics they make. It is expensive because it is a high quality high thread count cotton but you can often buy it in small amounts which makes it more affordable and I like to mix it with other fabrics to make it go further. I hope that helps
Just found your channel and so glad I did, you have a beautiful relating sewing space. New subscriber.
Thank you Pearl, I appreciate you watching and subscribing 🌸
Beautiful room tour! May I ask where you got your nine-drawer organizer that is at the top of your pressing station? The one where you keep your needles and buttons and other small items. Thank you!
thank you Dee. It was from Laura Ashley many years ago but keep your eye on eBay incase one comes up there
Lovely to see your work room, I have a large space, with several areas for different crafts, I invariably have crochet, knitting, sewing and jewellery projects in various stages. I have a lovely work area for jewellery making that folds up to look like a small wardrobe, and an old writing desk for my sewing, though having just ordered an embroidery machine I am going to have to do a revamp.
Ooo that sounds like a lovely craft room. Enjoy your embroidery machine, thank you for watching 🌸
I have a couple of small bedrooms that I use for my sewing. It’s definitely not as pretty or as organized as your space.
I’m sure it’s lovely to work in though and it’s nice to have plenty of room I’m sure. Thank you Lisa
My favourite bit was EVERYTHING!!!
Thank you Sharon!🤗
Someone could make a fortune making a acollection of beautiful colourred cutting mats. I don't like my ugly green one, but it's also essential to everyday crafting
yes! I have thought of this many times. I wish there was lots more variety in colours and sizes
Hi. I absolutely love your sewing space. Where did you get the little organizer with the different drawers and labels that was on your table for you needles etc.
it was from Laura Ashley many moons ago. Thank you so much for watching
You have a lovely sewing room and workspace Emma. Thank you for your videos, you always inspire me 😀
Aww thank you Estelle 😊
So glad you're recording again! Would love to see your vintage machines and hear how you acquired them - I have several and love them!
Thank you Robin! I will definitely make a video about that
I like the changes you made love your little house ,I want one love to you again,always love watching your videos😇😍
Aww thanks so much Neva, I hope you can find one 🏠
Love seeing your room again Emma, it seems so peaceful. Hope to see you soon. Take care 🤗
Aww thank you Angela, it’s definitely a peaceful place. Take care
Where did you get the charming sewing box that looks like a house on the thumbnail and at 6:13, please? Thank you.
it is from Cath Kidston. They don't make them anymore but you can find them second hand
I have a corner in our bedroom to sew and create. It's not alot but I sure get alot accomplished in there! I love the peacefulness of your videos and projects!
thank you for watching Shelly, I am glad you have a productive corner to work in
I love your sewing room!
You & I have a lot of the same likes for storing items.
Thanks so much for sharing. 💓
Aww that is lovely! Thank you for watching
Hi Emma, thank you for showing me around your sewing room. I don't actually have a permanent dedicated sewing area. My sewing machine lives under my standing desk in my creative room, when not in use. I have one sewing box and some of my sewing needles actually live in beside my crochet hooks in a pencil case lol I also have a small basket which sits on my stairs as a design feature lol, which holds some of my embroidery stash. I think I really need to re think my sewing storage and perhaps have all my sewing stash in one room together rather than scattered around the house. I tend to do my hand sewing sitting on the couch in my living room and my machine sewing in my creative studio/room. But having said that it seems to work for me for now, perhaps because I do not sew as often as I would like. I confess I have so many skills it is hard to keep up with everything I want to do. How I switch from one kind of project to another is, I knit until my fingers get a bit cramped then I switch to sewing and when I am done sewing I go back to knitting or do some crochet for a bit and when I am inspired to paint, I do that. I think my full house is turning into my creative studio lol I have just purchased a spinning wheel to spin my own yarn, that will sit proudly in the living room lol ;) T x
Oh how exciting that you have a spinning wheel! It’s lovely to do so many different crafts isn’t it 😊
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox yes it is. It means I am never bored lol ;) T x
I love your room, and like you I have several projects on the go or started, will get to them sooner and later. I made your hexie pin cushion and love it.
Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed making it Doreen, thank you for watching
What a great sewing space. I live in a good size house for 2 people, my sewing room was a bedroom not too large and at the moment it is a mess. I am inspired by your video to get in there and have a good tidy.
Thank you for watching Deb. I hope you enjoy getting your room sorted
Ooh, forgot to ask Emma, where did you get your iron from? I would love this iron! 😊💗
It was a present so I’m not sure where it came from, so sorry
Emka, veľmi útulná izbička - pracovňa 👍 určite tam tráviš veľa času 😉 veľmi obdivujem a fandím ti nech sa ti podarí vytvoriť všetko čo máš v pláne a nech ťa láska k ručným prácam nikdy neomrzí pretože sa mi veľmi páči tvoja tvorba 😉 nič nemusíme urobiť perfekne ale čo vytvoríme s láskou to je krásne a má svoje čaro a hlavne že máš radosť z toho čo ušiješ ❤️ veľmi si vážim že si nájdeš aj čas na nahrávanie videa za čo ti veľmi pekne ďakujem 😘 pozdravujem zo Slovenska 🇸🇰 a prajem veľa zdravíčka 😀
Ďakujem vám veľmi pekne za sledovanie videa a za taký milý komentár
Have you seen Kate's at the last homely house channel she has a lovely large display board she made to display quilts in progress even pep ones.
oh yes! I NEED to make one too!
Hi. Where did you find your lovely pink cabinets? I love them!
thank you! They are from Bisley.com
Aww Emma, your sewing and work room is gorgeous! I love peeking in all your tins and boxes and love the pink filing cabinets too! Nice to see all your projects and your sewing themed decor items. 🥰 My own sewing space seems to be anywhere in my house where there's room!! I have sewing stash everywhere! I am very much "organised chaos" and tend to flit between projects! I think I just like having a choice of things to work on really, as it keeps me inspired. Thank you so much for this video, I've had the loveliest tour. 😊
So glad you enjoyed it Karen. I’m exactly the same as you, I love going from one project to another. Take care and thanks for watching 🌸
Que lindo todo, y con un gusto delicado al igual que tus trabajos te felicito!!!!!
Muchisimas gracias 😊
Such a lovely tranquil sewing space! A fun and interesting chat to watch and listen to while I hand quilt. Thank you for posting this video!
Aww thank you so much for watching 😊

Your sewing room is awesome. I could live in that room.
Thank you Shirley
Aww love Beatrix potter stories !
They are wonderful stories aren’t they
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox yes :) love them all! X
Beautiful Room and projects!
Thank you Ellen
I absolutely love your sewing room. I wish I could find the little craft house like yours. Do you remember where you got it? Hank you for being so inspiring 💕
it's from Cath Kidston. They don't make them anymore so it's worth looking on eBay for them as they've become collectors items
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox thank you very much 💕
May I ask please where did you get your coloured pink thread boxes from with the compartments to put little hexagons in please?
Hi Carol, they were from Aldi
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox Thank you so much.x
Lovely.
Your room is beautiful Emma and seems to be a calm haven for you. I'm very fortunate to have a workshop outside of my home but I don't tend to sew there. My craft room at the house is currently my office but I'm really excited to be getting that space back soon. I've recently been enjoying hand stitching which I love to do on the sofa in the evening. Take care xx
Thanks for watching Dawn! I’ve seen snippets of your work space on your channel, it’s so lovely 😊
My sewing room is big, and a disaster. I recently had cabinets put in so I'm starting to work on organizing in my spare time and it's helped A LOT! I just LOVE all the Liberty fabrics!!! They don't sell them here in the U.S. where I am (so sad).
Do you have a business address? Someone recently gave me a magazine with a long poem about grandmothers and sewing that made me think of you and I wanted to send it.
Oh that’s so so kind of you, thank you. My address is my home address so I can’t make it public here. Did you send me a contact form message about this? Because I remember seeing one asking me about my address. If that was you I will reply and send it to you. I know a shop in the US called Morris Textiles and she is a British woman selling Liberty and other British fabrics online. She’s really lovely and has a beautiful selection 🌸
Hi Emma - I want to start by saying that you have a lovely sewing room and I love all of your storage containers. I have a question about the 2 houses you have. Did you make those or buy them?
Hi Melinda, thank you so much for watching. I bought the houses, I have a collection of house sewing boxes! But I am working on house themed patterns for next year!
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox where did you buy them and do you know if they are still available?
@@melindaparsons380 they are from Cath Kidston but they don’t make them anymore. Definitely check eBay for second hand ones though
You have a beautiful craft room. Really nice and bright. I love all of your little tin boxes for projects and keepsakes. I just finished putting my sewing room together. Having a dedicated room is wonderful. It's a fairly large room but already filled to capacity with shelving and tables. It's a space where I don't have to put anything away until I'm ready. Thanks for sharing your happy crafting space with us.
thanks so much for watching Chris. It is so nice to just leave everything out at the end of the day and not have to tidy up isn't it. Happy sewing
