    Great video, I too as a widow decided that my home was my home and I use my formal dining room as a crafting space and absolutely feel grateful that I am able to do this. I have faced criticism from “friends” but it is after all my home. ❤

    I have 7 sewing machines and people thought I was crazy...lol I've been a tailor for 30yrs for clothes manufactures and designers and dept. stores and now I work mostly from home and I finally getting into what I always wanted to do in addiction to tailoring, but only dabbled in because of being to busy, so now I'm quilting and doll making and fashion designing and painting and clay sculpting and bag making....lol My 13yr old granddaughter loves going through my dress making fabrics and art supplies when she comes over. She always says...is there anything u dont have nana? I say yes!....more space....lol

    @stevezytveld6585 Год назад +5

    _Suggestion_ - Your idea of having two of those Michael's _(they should be a sponsor...)_ folding tables is way beyond genius.
    If you're going to use two of them side by side you should have one of those half circle garden latches to join them together. Once they're locked, they're stable. Seriously, you should consider bringing this up with the Michael's PR and product development staff... for a possible sponsorship video. You get a second rolling table, 4 latches and you have something that can support a bolt of fabric. For 200$. As an apartment dweller, I thank you. You just changed the game...

    O.M.G! I lose things constantly and have all clear bins so I don't just forget everything, but your idea using hair ties to put your bobbins on their matching spools is just PERFECT!!!! I feel like 'why didn't I think of that?!' only bcz it's simple and just makes so much sense! Love it! Thank you so much!

      Also, the part in which you showed the zippers you've pulled to re-use just gave me inspiration to what to do with all of the small Ipsy bags I haven't known what to do with! Disassemble and make a larger "FrankenBag" and use the zippers I saved from adult onesies or/& footie pajamas! A couple grommets and binder rings, a belt, and voila! FrankenBag!

    I am floored by your inspiration! I have gone to Ikea twice in the last week looking for those items I need to complete my bedroom/sewing room. I have a very large master bedroom and have told my husband that if anything happens to him, I am converting it to a luxury sewing room, lol. I would move into one of the smaller bedrooms. I love all of the organizational tools you showed us as it gave me so many ideas, thank you!

  • @valkyriesardo278
    @valkyriesardo278 2 года назад

    I love your perspective. It makes no sense to have a formal dining room you use only once a year. Standing applause that you took it for a sewing room instead. I am an advocate for arranging living space by first considering how you actually want to live. Form follows function. I am a big fan of hair elastics. I use them to tidy up the power cords on small appliances. I'm also fond of bungee cord to restrain shrubbery when I'm painting outdoors, zip ties when I need a strong but semi-permanent fastener and they make a dandy hinge.
    Long story short, I'm a DIY hoarder that is sorting through the mountains I have not touched in years. The goal is a place for everything and everything in its place. Part of the process is converting a bedroom into a sewing room. I took apart the king size waterbed and will have a daybed instead. I kept both the drawer units that were the base of the waterbed and those will stack to be the platform of the daybed. In a way I am returning full circle to my childhood days when my little bed was in my mother's sewing room. One wall was a shelving unit that held stacks and stacks of fabric. She taught all her children how to sew. My eldest brother has refurbished her beloved Singer for me. It had been stored away somewhere in the years since her death. The housing is a little scuffed but the metal guts are whirling like a top. I"m looking forward to that song.

    I was literally cleaning up my sewing room awhile ago. First it was my brothers old room & some of his stuff are still in room. I just bought a table for my Cricut, but we still can't put it up cuz we don't know where it would go. I made a couple of storage boxes for my threads, supplies, buttons, have a bulletin board. With my Cricut I'm gonna create some labels 4 the boxes. My sketches are on a shelf w/ a WiFi little speaker that I can control with my cell. Since im Epileptic my mom wants to put a chair to keep me safe. But to still have alot to do..!!

    I love that adjustable height table but I didn’t get the name of it. I absolutely love you. I have the white drawers, the ikea pegboards, lots of cube storage, also from IKEA, and I have an IKEA bookshelf for my fabric. I also use clear shoe boxes, the bigger ones that have a flap on front not the cover, that I have fabric in on the shelves. They’re nice bc you can see the fabric but it stats dust free. I love ur ideas of attaching the pegboards below. Especially on the moving carts. I have a few carts with the wire drawers that I use for all my ironing stuff and it holds grommets, overall buckles and snaps with their tools. Another thing I love with the pegboards is the thread cups you have. I have little trash cans next to each table but it doesn’t always make it in the bucket. I always end up with thread all over my house. It sticks to the bottom of my shoes. Want to say thank you thank you thank you. U r awesome. So informative but always make me laugh as well.

    I am a quilter and have watched many sewing room tours on RUclips but I think yours is the best and the most fun. Like you, I love love love Ikea. They have the best items for sewists and Crafters. I moved to a really tiny apartment about 6 months ago but I'm moving to a larger one in a few months. Here I can only use 3M hooks on the wall and that's it but when I'm moving I'll finally be able to hang shelving and pegboards etc. So I can't wait to get the sewing room of my dreams again. I've had it before but not here. But I love your pegboard ideas. Thanks for all the great ideas. Now all you need is a Singer Featherweight, or is that hidden in some little cubby? 😊. Fortunately I'm extremely organized in my sewing room but I love thing new ideas and I love the one up the little fabric sleeve you have next to your sewing machine. I think that will be on my to-do list to make after I get my next two quilts completed. But you have many other ideas I will copy. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm. Love your video and subscribe d

I will be living in a camper van out west and I am considering a sewing channel eventually to go with the van life. Living in a camper van I will be limited on room but I plan to have an awning with detachable walls and screens to make a sewing room while I am parked for a longer stay. I hadn't thought of the peg board so I believe I have an idea. I can tell I may end up pulling a cargo trailer just for all my sewing stuff. Hehe

    I found this video searching for ideas for a sewing studio that will be built toward the end of the year. OMG!! So glad I did! I'll be watching many more! I also just got a new fabricator and was super excited to see that you had one! Looking forward to viewing all you've got!!

    I need the cubed shelves. I have been putting fabric in basket and folding it like file folders.I also wrapped fabric on comic book boards and putting on shelves. Trying to get fabric out of totes so I can remember what I actually have. But I filled it up! I worked at a quilt shop so I used to buy fabric pieces when I would see we were running out of a fabric. Or kits of fabric for patterns.

    Thrift stores are great. I found some BEAUTIFUL drapery fabric. It's brand new. I'm going to make valances out of it.
