LOL …. I visited IKEA this week because I haven’t been in YEARS ….I did not take my hubby cause he will DR. NO EVERYTHING! My son asked me , where do you want to go …I said IKEA ! Gosh , we were there for 4 hrs checking into everything… OMG , my mind was going yes yes yes …on my list it goes. my son said I haven’t seen you ever excited over handbag , clothes or shoe shopping….who knew IKEA would light your eyes up???? LOL 😂 😂😂😂 He said …no to the island , he will build me a hydraulic table that I can use for cutting fabric and buy drawers to fit under it . Use it as a desk when you need a desk or as sewing cutting table or craft table . We are in Canada so that island is $ 600 CAD ( yeah …it feels like the Mexican peso at the moment ☹️) he can build me a hydraulic desk for far less. This video was fun .
Great video! Love ‘multifunctional’. Yes, what works in the kitchen, can also work in the sewing room + in an art room/studio. Think I will have to plan a visit soon. 😌👍🏽🇨🇦
The mini ikea ironing board fits pretty well on top of a raskog too, for a nice little portable ironing stand. Get some S hooks and you can fold the ironing board down and hang on the side of the cart when you’re done so it takes up a smaller footprint, if needed.
It's been 7 years since I've been to Ikea. Because I watched your video, I'm making plans to go to and Ikea in the DFW area to check out all the new items. Love the kitchen islands! Need to measure a few areas in my kitchen, and office before leaving home😊
I bought the NORDEN table and installed wheels on it. Best hack ever! I have a crafting/sewing Room/office, so I needed something space efficient and versatile. It's just perfection 👌
Really enjoued your video and tips! I use the peg boards from Ikea to store my rulers, scissors, seam rippers etc. Each board comes in different sizes and in two colours. The boards mount and are recessed from the wall. The peg boards also have numerous accessories such as hooks, clips and bins to organize all your sewing stuff. Great for a small sewing room with limited floor space.
this is great -- when I last visited Ikea, there was a big section closed off for remodeling. I'm hoping these displays will be there when I go back. Thanks so much!
Long narrow containers are great for machine embroiderers. They allow you to gather all the different color threads you need for a large design and keep them in order as you need to change to a new color.
I turned in my material sewing for junk journal/paper-sewing. Everything you shared would easily convert to the crafting world. I live in a very tiny house and I am always looking how to have more storage. I need an IKEA visit.
Ordning utensil holder would be great for knitting or crocheting. Put a ball of yarn inside; pull the string through; easy-peasy skein holder! And thank you for doing this walk through reimagining what these kitchen items could be used for in a craft room. Great ideas & my kind of content! New subscriber here.
@@lisabrown8889 You might have a point there. I just tested mine and the edges of the holes are quite sharp. But every centimeter of the yarn only passes through once, that shouldn't cause real damage. (In case you didn't notice 😉: English is not my native language. Sorry!)
3:15 i have this table. It originally lived in my apartment kitchen, which was tiny and had zero counter space. Made a good island. Now I'm using it for a pottery bench. I got the unfinished one and finished it myself.
Thank you for taking me shopping at IKEA!! I don't want to go there but I'm curious what they might have for organizing my sewing stuff! This is the perfect video! ❤
I have that butchers block type island in my kitchen. I have loads of baskets on the shelving side. I thought about getting another for my sewing studio when it's finished too
Your video was full of great ideas and I’ll be visiting my local Ikea very soon. Did you make your fabulous purse and if so was it made using a pattern that’s available for purchase? Edit to add - I found your pattern!!
Most of the USA doesn’t have Ikea. In the real world, I got a kitchen table from a thrift ($50) very beefy. It’s table standard height, 30”. So I added bun sofa feet off Amazon ($25) to raise it to 36”, standard for kitchen counters and cutting tables. If I ever hate it I can swap the feet for slightly shorter ones. Kitchen furniture works, but you don’t need IKEA. You can also get locking casters instead of sofa feet if you prefer. Tables with huge wheels? Cool!
I just ordered casters for my kallax shelf units. I want to add another one to my room but I don’t have the wall space. With the casters, I can put one in front of the other and push them together.
OMG, you have good stuff in your Ikeas! It will probably be years before a lot of that stuff arrives in Australia (we already have a few things you showed) and they will also be disgustingly expensive 😮
Do you have any recommendations for a sewing machine that uses a hand switch instead of foot pedal? You have a nice presence and presentation with your video! Thanks for sharing your ikea solutions!
Look for any machine that used the air technology, they are more sensitive. But there is no reason to not use your foot controller with your hand. Im a mechanic, and frequently operate the foot control with my hand while i am working on a machine.get a silicone pot holder to use as a non slip spot to put the controler
@@denisekyle6603 There are a lot of machines that have a button on the front that will make the machine go, but they don’t have the sensitivity of a pedal - it’s on or off. I would recommend visiting a sewing machine store or two and getting a knowledgeable salesperson to help you find a machine that fits your needs best.
Definitely second the suggestion of getting to try it in person. My electric sewing machine has a hand control option that is in a slightly different position than I would ideally like if I was using it full time just due to the size of my hands. It’s an old Jenome domestic quilting machine. Every time a manufacturer redesigns the body the feeling can change and it might suit you better. Try to get your hands on and many in person as possible. If there are any sewing groups near you where people bring their own machines ask if you can drop in and get your hands on them. Lots of people would be happy to assist in your quest. You may find one brand is just generally a better fit for your natural ergonomics. Good luck with finding your machine..
Although you specified a hand switch, given the other comments I wanted to pass on the idea of a knee bar control. My mother’s old Necchi has one and my new Juki came with one that pops in and out. I find it as sensitive as a foot pedal.
You're not that far off sometimes when you read what is written on the shelves at Ikea, but at some of them, you end up a little wrong, and that's to be expected if you don't know Swedish. For example, at 11.07 Småäta=which means to snack in swedish.Again, it consists of two words that are put together to form a word, directly translated from Swedish it means, Små =( means) small ,and äta= (means) eat ... small-eat = but it gets translated to=to snack in English . That it is meant to snack in Swedish. The whole idea of Ikea is that you can use all the things on the store however you want, so you think just like a Swede does.

This is exactly why my husband isn't a fan of IKEA - because I can see "sewing room goodies" in everything! lol
Poor hus. Has such a creative, out of the box thinking wife.

i really enjoyed watching you wander through IKEA and describe sewing uses for the products. I found it both useful and entertaining, thanks.

Well, you just solved my cutting table problems! Thank you!
I used a rising table for a cutting and ironing board. So much fun and easier to use!

The drawer organisers that she discounted, in the office section, are great for threads.

it's metal - wouldn't that shred the yarn???

I have the first one and I love it ❤️
Me too!
I made my own ikea rolling island from Ickes. It matches my kitchen from IKEA. Like the rolling feature!
Love this video will be checking some of these out next visit to IKEA inspiring

I am heading to IKEA next week. This video was timely
Hope you find some amazing sewing room solutions!
Great ideas 💡

I use your old cutting table for a pressing station. My flatter goes in the drawers and my wool mat on top
Where did you get your shirt?
@@karasummers7286 one of the print on demand tshirt shops like TEE Public
@hunter's designstudio That white one at the end of the video - do you know the name of that one?
If you're talking about the white lazy susan, it's called VARIERA
I use a cutting table/craft table as a kitchen island.
