Oh Christine, it looks great. So happy for you. Enjoy
Thank you Gwen😁
It’s fantastic and you’ve given me lots of storage ideas.
Glad I could help Diane. One year later, and I still love this space😀
Really fantastic . It looks so well planned . Love the cutting island . ❤
Thanks Marie. I love my island. It's working really well😀
Lovely room, Christine. Well thought out and organized.
Love the island.😁💟
Glad you liked it Barbara. Thank you😁
The room is just the best!!
Thanks Linda😊
Really ice and compact. I use to have a wonderful sewing room but when we moved I have to sew in my dining room. Glad we have a kitchen table so we can still eat.
Thanks Pat. I remember one of my earlier sewing spaces was in the dining room too. Had to share it with the family😁
Gives you lots more room. The island is great. Thank you
Thanks Cynthia. I'm just loving it😃
Love your room and your video. It made me laugh. My husband got one of the kids old pool noodles and cut it up to pad the corners of my cutting island so the kids wouldn't pick up the bad words they heard everytime I hit one of the corners and all my stations face the door so I can just look up and see who is coming in, although they scare the heck out of me when they do even though I have a sign on the knob that rattles. It is my retirement motto "Love what you do and do what you love". I have added to that to say and love where you are. Keep them coming. 😃
Haha, that's so funny Judi. Chris has learned all about the language I use when I speak to my machines. They're so disobedient sometimes😁
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs Oh thank god, I thought it was just my machines that didn't do what I asked of them sometimes and I have to be cross with them and then I tell them what good girls they are and get on with it. lol My family say I spoil my machines more than them. lol😄
@@judifisher8703 haha, the things we do. I wonder if our machines react to us like plants do 😆
Good for you! It looks terrific and well thought out. Thank you for your videos. I've learned a lot. Happy sewing!!!
Thank you so much Penny😊
It's beautiful! Well thought out, thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome Karen😊
Wow Christine, love your new sewing room. Enjoy. from Tasmania xxx
Thanks Catherine😃
Love the layout and the sunny colour. I've just re-jigged my sewing room too and it makes such a difference to get everything nicely organised. I might buy some of those 'wine rack' cubes....what a good idea for utilising every inch of space!
Happy sewing Christine. 😄
Thanks Diane. The wine cubes have been great for those little things😀
Love it! Ikea storage works great in sewing or craft rooms
It sure does Sue😁
WOW! So ORGANIZED! Love it so much!
Thanks Mary. I'm even managing to keep it tidy😁
It looks great and gives us useful ideas for our own rooms
Thanks Christine😃
Love your room Christine - very workable
Thanks Ruth😂
So happy for you! Your room is amazing.
I love it Jennifer🙂
This room is perfect. I love the yellow walls, and lighting on the ceiling, no lamps anywhere. It must have taken forever to neatly fold all of that fabric! I am thrilled for you.
Thanks Debbie. I'm still folding fabric😀
Love your room!! I am getting ready to have my first designated sewing room, Yeah!! You have given me some great ideas to incorporate into my design. Thank you for sharing.
You won't know yourself Cynthi. You'll just love it!😊
I love how you got thread clippers near each of your machines. Your room is great! I'd love to have one for myself, but we'd have to move so it won't happen soon...
Thread clippers and seam rippers. My two best tools😁
I love your bright sewing room! Yellow Is such a happy wall color!
Thanks Sandra. We love yellow in our house😁
Gorgeous sewing studio
Thanks Jrae😃
Love the cutting table
Me too Darlene. It's been perfect for me😀
Fantastic room, Christine! So happy for you!!
Thank you so much Cathy😁
Hello from the USA. I love your sewing room! So cheerful and neat. Makes me want to make mine look neat and uncluttered too😃 love your videos and teaching style. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Karon😁
What a great space you've created for your sewing, well thought out and looks amazing. My machine & overlocker are in sewing cabinet in my bedroom, how I wish I had a designated sewing room.
Thanks Pauline. I've already outgrown this space. Time to take over the rest of the house😁
Hi Christine. Your room looks amazing. The lighting is perfect, I love it so much. You really deserve it Christine you are a lovely person. 😊
Thank you so much Sharon😁
I love your room. My sewing room is a similar size, but I have way too much stuff in there, so it looks messy. Yours is so tidy. It looks like it will be a joy to work in there.
Thanks Debbie, I'm sure it won't be this tidy for long😁
Two things you might like; 1. A wall mounted holder for your iron and board. And 2. An indoor doorbell. I'm easily startled, so I put one in my sewing room to announce drop-in visitors. 😁
Great ideas Julia😃
Trouble is, I'd jump out of my skin every time the bell rang. 😆
Fantastic room Christine! It looks great I bet you are enjoying it too. You have inspired me to clean my room up, it's a mess but it's my happy place where I can sew or just sit relax and stare at my stuff...lol hope your is the same.
Thanks Janet. It's my happy place too😁
Wow, congratulations - it's beautiful. Happy stitching to you. Oh, I am the same way about facing the door.
Thanks Alice😁
Your sewing room is great. It looks well thought out. You will be able to have a tidy and organised sewing area. I know you sew to sell but enjoy your lovely room. It’s not just for work. ❤❤
Thanks Julie. I'll definitely be sure to enjoy it for myself and not just work😁
Building your own island top to the size of the cutting mat? Smart. That being said, the wine racks back to back making a long narrow holder for rolled fabrics?!! Brilliant. GOTTA have that. I work mainly with leather and it's not to be folded, this will solve the problem.
Those wine rack slots would be perfect for your leather rolls😀
That room is so nice!!! I love all the storage and the lighting is awesome!!
Thanks kathy 😊
My dream room! I love it!
Thanks RG 😃
I love your new room! you have awesome organizing abilities. I have a large sewing room but It is set up all wrong. After seeing your room you have my mind a buzz with ideas I can use from your room. Thank you, so much!
Thanks Laura. Have fun redesigning😁
Love it and it’s so neat and organized so happy for you!
Thanks Sheila😊
Love it girl.. REALLY do.. Smiles from NY
Thanks Dolores 😊
I love your new room!
Thanks Lynden😃
Looks amazing Christine ❤. I also have the IKEA shelves in my sewing room. They are great. I have been thinking about an island like this for a while now. Hopefully later this year I may have something similar to this as well. 🤞🏻. Love the yellow too. It looks so bright and cheerful 😊
Thanks Jessica. Don't forget to stabilise the base of your island😁
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs yes thank you. That’s awesome to know 🙂. It will have me trouble later for sure.
Love your revised sewing room!😍 Our house is tiny so I made sure to create a large kitchen island in my new open concept ..just in case I need to cut fabric or lay out patterns… 😉
That's a great idea. I get to go out to our table tennis room whenever I do curtains. They always take up so much space, and then I even get to have a break from exercise😁
I too cannot sew with my back to the door, your room looks amazing,
Thank you Faye😃
Great space 👌
Thanks Kathy 😊
I love your sewing room! So practical and quite roomy still - even with all the storage and the mobile table :-D
Thank you! I can even get a bed in there if guests come to stay😊
Love your room!
Thanks Gloria😃
Oh i love it, my partner bought me a donga ( sort of granny flat, for those of you who don’t know what a donga it lol), everyday im in there trying to work out what goes where, still haven’t got it to where I want it……but i will persevere…happy sewing Christine ❤❤❤
Thanks Tracey. I've never heard of a donga before. Just Googled it. It's Aussie!!😅
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs used a lot in qld lol
Love it, I want a table like that
I love it too Traci😊
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs i really enjoy your channel I believe you are honest and show how to make money at what we do, because I am just trying to get a stock of things to make and sell at craft shows and I watch your channel for ideas and help with how to charge because I sell really low like $5 bags and grocery bag holders I’d love new ideas,
Thank you@@traciblack2079 I have no shortage of ideas, so will have plenty more to come😀
Love it beautiful...good job
Thanks Leticia😃
Love it!!!
Thanks Rose😁
Such a professional look for your clients coming in for alterations. A fabulous room where you can get a lot done in style and comfort.
Thank you so much 😊
❤❤Love it. 😊 envy envy. 😂 you’ve earn it 😊
😊 thank you Geraldine
Oh Christine that room is beautiful 😍 so functional and well designed. You deserve to have your perfect space for creativity......soooo who's minding the shop? 😉
Haha. I have a shop??😂😂
Thanks for sharing your beautiful functional sewing room. So happy you survived the penicillin allergic reaction. Hope you get a great settled out of it. No one should ever have to go through what you have again.
Thanks Vicki. Still working on that issue😊
That is awesome,you and Chris have done a wonderful job on that room,love the cube storage and you island.The bright yellow makes it look fresh and sunny,well done
Thanks Eve. Every wall in our home is a very bright colour. It makes us happy😃
I am so pleased for you Christine and love, love, love your room. Happy sewing.
Thanks Jess😃
I can tell you're happy. It's a lovely room to be creative. You deserve it!!!
Thank you Melanie 😅
I Love your new room! So organized and efficient lay out. So happy for you.
Thank you Terri. I just love it too😊
Christine. Your room looks fantastic. Love all the storage areas; lighting, cutting/storage island. Also great colour on the walls makes it look warm and welcoming! I'm glad it all turned out just the way you wanted it to.
I've been unwell the past 3 weeks with a bad bout of cold - lost my voice for 3 days. Almost fully recovered now so got a few of your video's to catch up on which I'm going to binge watch over the next few days. Wishing you lots of happy sewing 🪡🧵
Thank you Lesley. Hope you're back to good health quickly😃
Pleased you're pleased with your room😀, it looks lovely and bright and clean. Have fun with it. Stay safe.🤗🇬🇧
Thanks Mrs Miggins😊
Wow! It really came out beautiful! I I especially love the island! Am looking forward to all the tutorials from the new place 🎉💃🏼
Thanks Sadia😁
very nice!
Thank you 😊
My husband built me a very similar cutting table- we put a large piece of butcher block on top. Love your sewing room, your videos are very good and easy to understand!
That is awesome Kimberly. I was going to get a timber top, but was too impatient 😆
I love it. You're going to enjoy this room so much. So inspirational!
Thanks Wendy😃
Your sewing studio is absolutely gorgeous. I love the way you made use of the space
Thanks Char😊
Gorgeous sewing studio, you have done a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Claudette😃
Your room is awesome. I designed my sewing/craft room for the same reason. I don't want no one sneaking up on me.
Thanks Kim😃
Looks great! Love how you've put the island together. 🤩👍
Thanks Christine 😃
What an amazing room, well designed and wonderful storage! Enjoy! Love from the UK. 😘🍍
Thanks Anne😃
Such a great use of a small space, and that island is amazing! I'm so jealous!
Thank you!! 😊
Sehr sehr schön und praktisch. Das hast Du sehr gut gemacht. Ein toller Arbeitsplatz. Auch das sonnige Gelb an der Wand ist sehr angenehm und erfrischt. Danke für die Inspiration, die Regale sind ebenfalls eine super Idee für viel Stauraum. Freue mich schon auf die nächsten Projekte und Videos. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🙋👍
Thank you so much Manuela. Where in Germany are you? I am originally from Stuttgart😃
The room turned out lovely and very practical.
Thank you Sharon😃
Your room is beautiful for a sewing room I love your makes with the bags you create
Thank you Aysha😃
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs you welcome 🤗
You did an excellent job!! Wow!! Wish you lots of happy hours with your great projects in this room! Thank you for letting us all be a part of it 😊 One question though: how did you get those thinner cloth pieces stand up so nice and neat? Are they wrapped around some cardboard? Or did you pile them up and put them into the shelf all at once? Greetings, Lale
Thank you LB. I'm using comic boards (strong white card) and wrap the fabric around them to stand them up😁
Looks terrific Christine! Word of warning... when using your iron on the pad or the little board, if you use a lot of heat and or steam, the heat CAN (as it did for MY cutting board) WARP the cutting mat! Once warped, you CANNOT unwarp it!
I love how you have used the boxes, just wish I could do that.... no room at our place!
It is so good to see everything organised! CONGRATULATIONS!
Thanks Loren. For the tips too. I'll definitely keep it in mind😃
I love your sewing room! Thank you for the detailed explanations and advice. It's all very helpful! I hope you will enjoy many happy hours in your new space. 💙
Thank you so much Marianne 😃
Beautiful room. I love it also. Looking forward to seeing your next projects. Thanks for sharing your space.😊
Thank you so much😁
Wonderful room. I especially like the rounded corners on your cutting table; I'm a klutz also and would always be very bruised. I agree I don't want my back to the entrance, it's too startling to have someone come up behind one.
Thanks Heidi. I bump into everything I don't see🤣
Congrats et well done ! The room looks great and really practical. Hope you'll continue loving working there.
Thanks Jennifer. I'm going to love it😁
❤ Congratulations on your new studio! Love your tutorials.
Thanks Yvonne😀
Looks awesome! You are so organized and it’s so beautiful!
Thanks BG😊
Love your island! Appreciate the tips I learned to make a similar one. Enjoy your new sewing studio!
Thanks Kayla😊
Wow 🤩 great room, very well thought out. Please tell me it gets messy sometimes 😁
I've never had a tidy sewing room, and I expect this will end up a mess too. I'm hoping to be a little more disciplined this time😆
I’m currently redoing my sewing room again and bought the Kallax units from IKEA yesterday. I’m having some for storage and am making up my cutting station just as you have. It was pretty cool watching yours come together, a bit like having a preview of how mine should look in a few day. Thanks for posting your new room, it looks fantastic.
You'll just love it when you're done Heidi.😊
Congratulations on your new sewing room!!! I watched your helping hands card holder the other day. I’ve been trying to find a new item to sell at my local artisan markets. I think I found it. I’ve made 14 of them so far. They are time consuming but I’m sewing them while watching TV. Thanks!!!!
Thanks Deena. I've had to make more of the card holders the other day. It amazes me every time I sell them how popular they are.😃
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs I’m hoping they will sell this Saturday and Sunday at my local Artisan Markets. I haven’t seen any one selling these, so hopefully they will sell!!!
Fabulous. You’ve created a marvelous creative space. But I do have one question: When are you coming over to do mine? Thanks ❤
I'll be there in a jiffy Cyn 😀
Jelous!
I'm in heaven Carrie😊
I've been anxiously awaiting the reveal of the finished space and island. I fully intended to make an island like yours and when I watched the first video I thought: "easy peasy .. I can do that " ... (castor wheels right into shelf units) ... but am still dragging my feet ... so seeing your experience doing it without a base board has been good to learn. May I please ask what height the cutting surface is from the floor ... I've been reading that 35 - 36" is ideal?
Your room is an inspiration, thank you for sharing it with us.
Than you Donna. My finished height is exactly 35". This includes the 3" castors at the bottom😀
Ideal cutting height actually depends a bit on your height. 36" inch height is standard for kitchen counter tops so that's a way to easily test how comfortable you are with that height. I'm 5'6" and find 36"H to be perfect. My mom is 5'1" and she much prefers a 30" height. A friend is 5'10" and she likes 38".
HI Christina, Lovely room. Would like to know where you got the overhead camera mount. Thanks 😊
I purchased the mount from Ebay. Here's the link www.ebay.com.au/itm/175001549351
Love your new sewing space. Sorry if this has already been asked but can you tell me where you got your custom cutting mat made?
Thank you. The large mat is from jktrading.com.au 😀
Where did you getting your cutting mat., love your room
Sherri, I got the mat from JK Trading in Australia😁
What an amazing room. I think I am rather jealous! What size is the cutting board? Not sure I have seen one that big before.
Thanks Sarah. The cutting mat is an A0 size 34" x 48" Here's the link in Australia jktrading.com.au/product/metric-and-imperial-cutting-mat I saw another RUclipsr using it and did a search here. You should be aboe to find one in your country too😀
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs thank you x
My daughter lives in Mayfield, NSW and we are planning a trip over there, from Florida in October. Are you any where near her? Are you close enough for us to pop over? I would love to meet you and shop in your shoppe.
Not quite around the corner Eileen. Mayfield is about 9 hours away. Over 560 miles 😀
Noooooo... not my shed!! 😲😨😱
Ha ha! Yes Chris….it won’t be long before Christine will need it😂. Best if you start cleaning it out now 😂😂
May I ask, what size is your room
Not big enough Maureen. from memory it's about 3.5mtrs x 2.8mtrs😀
🪡🪡🪡🙂🙂🙂💓💓💓
Thanks Joy 😊
congratulations on getting your room done. It looks awesome.
Thanks Louise😁
