You are such a breath of fresh air you really make my day. Love the room it is just awsome, love everything. When you get your new carpet make sure your other half sorts out the creaky floor board... LOL
Loving your refurb sewing room. You have some beautiful pieces. Love your plant pots and your bespoke wool lettering - just fab. Too many things to mention. Some great storage ideas for hanging fabric. Just love the pops of pink. Thanks for sharing😻
You have done a lovely job with your sewing room. You won't have a problem finding things with your smashing organisation. I am like that too.😀 My sewing room is having a refurb at the moment too so I brought my sewing machine down to the dining room to finish my frugal frock. The problem is I have not got a clue about Instagram!!! Older generation!! 😂
I absolutely love it Ruan, you and your little helper have done amazing job, I must admit I’m a little bit jealous, well a lot actually 😂😂what a great space to escape to and create. You’ve got some beautiful items, my favourite is the embroidery with the lady in the dress, stunning. You really have an eye for detail, the clock is genius, might have to nab that idea. The knitting of the wall is fab. Ohhh I just love it all. Right I’m off now to sulk and only hope I can have a sewing room as nice as yours one day. Enjoy it chick 🤗🤗🤗
It's absolutely fantastic. Love, love, love that desk. I love your storage boxes and the envelopes for storing your PDF patterns too. I've got the same IKEA lamp and the Kallax unit as well. I did a quick sewing room change around as well and my tables are in front of the window and it's so much nicer. I love my sewing room too. My husband stays downstairs on the PS4 and I'm upstairs in my lovely sewing room. Happy bunny. xx By the way, you do make me laugh. Love the way you talk about stuff as you go. xx
Kudos to you and your hubby, your sewing haven is fab!!!! I’m with you, you can never have too much storage, love, love, love it! Have fun enjoying your lovely room!
Just recently found your channel (thank you #Frugalfrocks2021) The first video I watched was the before of your space. Oh my, this is a fabulous transformation - you lucky gal! The wallpaper and yarn hanging is spectacular!! Happy sewing, I’m looking forward to lots of great makes! Heather from Victoria, Canada
Lovely well set out sewing room.I have just had mine done,sharing a room with hubby,{well i have most of it ,he just has a relaxer chair and his tv,lol) Iam so blessed as i also have a lovely craft room. Sewing is my new passion.Happy sewing in your beautiful happy place.Hugs xxx Jean.
Oh Ruan, it look’s amazing! It was good before but it’s even better now. I love your organisation. I have organisation, but it doesn’t look good. Lol Have a fabulous weekend sewing in it. X
I absolutely love your new wallpaper! The blind is so pretty! I put all my patterns, including pdf, into a free downloadable database called Airtable. I took pictures of the garment, sizes, and fabric requirements and put them in Airtable, as well as fields for woven vs knit, adults vs kids, size range, etc. Works great when I sew for family members. I just give them my login and password and they can search for tops, pants, etc.
I have to say your sewing room is beautiful, and to thank you for the frugal frocks challenge, I don't think I will be taking part, I don't really wear "frocks", but, I might do one for someone else! You have opened up so many RUclipsrs that I didn't know of, I have played everyone on the list. Thank you
I was so engrossed in watching your sewing room tour my tea went cold!!! Love, Love , Love.....I feel bad for my sewing room for not seeing it’s full potential!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. My machine set up is like yours and it is a dream to be able to roll 😁. So organized!!! I am a total maximalist, organized as well but with too much stuff, I love to see spaces like yours, so pinteresty 😋. Very nice and manageable fabric stash, I should learn from you and be more mindful when buying... I just can’t help myself 😩. And your letters... loved them, I thought they were wood or something, but knitted!!!? OMG. Loved. May be you could add a cozy little chair under your letters, I added a sofa and it is so nice to sit there under the window, or if you have a visitor, reading chair... To sum it up, loved it all!!! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊🎈
What a fab flippin room , oh I love it 💕💕💕. Love the flower wall, it’s so 3D, amazing . I shall be copying your pattern storage, I’m fed up routing through my plastic folders to find a pattern.I need your pink trolley so badly and I need those hangers for my fabric wardrobe too . Hope you’re having a super sewing weekend !
Andrea you’re making me laugh 🤣. That little trolley was from Hobbycraft. They have them in ALL the colours and they were on offer for £25! Really good quality too...go for it! 😘
Awww Ruan - it's FABULOUS! Definitely going to get another pegboard as I need more room ha ha ha love the wallpaper. And that Yarn hanging is absolutely amazeballs!
I love it Ruan I absolutely love your wallpaper and the pink accents and I may just have to steal your notice board idea, I need to decorate mine now x
Lol, I just want to be your friend, your hilarious! Your room came out adorable and cozy. We have a lot of the same books! I just recently finished my sewing room redo and like you I don't ever want to leave it. Its the first place I go to when I get home because my computer is in there as well, and I usually have something new to add to the room. I need to take a page out of your "let's use what fabric we have in my stash before I buy new" mindset, because if I'm honest, I have enough to open my own little shop :) Again, love, love, love your wallpaper and your flashes of bright pink, and you have a lovely view, neighborhood looks amazing. Enjoying your videos and congratulations on your beautiful new sewing room. Happy sewing!!
Thank you so much 😊. I did buy some fabric today 😬. But in my defence it was fabric I’d wanted in a long time and had been out of stock. Does that count? 🤪🤪
@@theyorkshiresewgirl That's one regret of not living in England, you seem to have infinite fabric shops with fabric not found here in the US. I pay more in shipping than I care to think about. I do receive the Sew Haley Jane box every month and look forward to that surprise. So, no it doesn't count, purchase away!!
Hi. I love your videos. They are always full of lots of ideas and inspiration but entertaining too! I would like details of the very lovely embroidery of the lady and the dress if you have them. Thank you.
Hi Elaine 😊. Thank you for the lovely compliment. I’ve popped the link to the embroidery in the description box of the video for you. That’s not the same one but it’s for momentum the same range. I’m sure if you did a better search than me you’ll find the same one that I have done! 👍🏼
Great transformation Ruann! Love the wallpaper and organization. So far I gathered all my patterns. I’m trying to sort through a closet full of all my unfinished quilting projects that are 90% done. Add 4 garments started at different stages. It’s kind of like reducing debt..... get rid of them 1 by 1 starting with the least work needed. But then I go to the fabric store again!
Catching up on all your vlogs your sewing room is gorgeous! Saw your fabric collection and I made the simple sew pattern cocoon dress with that khaki dandelion fabric from sew Hayley jane
I have a wonderful, big closet in my sewing room - I need to get the hubby to put in shelves so I can make it all organized & awesome like your cupboard!
Love your new room, Ruan, it's very inspirational! As usual, you had me laughing out loud throughout this - I'm looking forward to seeing your weekend makes!
Wow, love your sewing room! I'm new to your channel 😁 very jealous actually, I only have a very teeny space in my bedroom for my sewing area but someday I'll have a room, if and when one of our lovely children ever move out one day. I do use my daughter's room as an extension when she's at uni 😂 look forward to watching more of your videos x
Love it, looks brilliant. A dark colour on one wall in a small room makes it look bigger as the dark wall recedes from your eye, but that wallpaper seems to have that effect probably because of the texture effect. Go for a low sheen (not sure if they are called the same in UK as Aus) covers a multitude of sins and reflects light ( can you tell I'm married to a painter) 🤣🤣
Love the sewing room makeover Ruan. I didn’t realize there was a Part 1. No idea how I missed that 🤪 Quite a transformation though and Great use of space and so organized. Inspired me to finally put up my pegboard I bought a year ago😁 The pincushion mice are so cute and love the embroideries 😊 I’m sure you enjoy sewing in your new room even more now! Good luck with the carpet😜
@@theyorkshiresewgirl I’m sure you do! Hope you’ve been able to sneak away in there today 😉😃 I forgot to say I love those knitted letters. What a wonderful idea 🧶
Fabulous room Ruan, you've done such a great job 👊👌. How lucky were you with the wallpaper striping 😋. The new wallpaper is amazing and looks so 3D 😍. Enjoy it my lovely 😁👍😘
Just a tip, because you went over a darker toned grey you should have used a paint with more opacity. You can get Dulux paint that is for hard to cover colours, red, navy, black etc. Doesn't matter now but the info might help others. My son use to work for Dulux and his room was Hulk green, so I had all that explained to me (in much much more detail! lol ) when we were getting ready to repaint it. Your room looks awesome! I had to giggle when you showed your craft box and how small it is! I have a 6' x 6' wall with boxes that are 2' long stacked with their short end against the wall (we moved a year ago) full of craft 'stuff'! lol
Thanks Cecile. Yes I did think about that but as it was only a very light colour I thought I’d be ok 🙈. Omg....I really want to see your craft WALL! 🤣🤣🤣
It looks fab Ruan. I’m so jealous lol. I wanted that desk, IKEA was out of stock 🤨. Ended up getting one of their cheap as chips white desks that everyone seems to have. Only trouble is I can’t use my overlocker on it because it bounces around all over the place 🙈. You must be soooo pleased. ❤️❤️
Wow there are so many things I’m going to take and do in my sewing room 😉 love the wallpaper but you cracked me up as to when hubby will be putting the carpet down 😂 (so like my hubby 🤨🤣)
Oh boy, so impressed with your revamped sewing room, looks great and you are so organised, puts my sewing room to shame, which I now need to have a go at. I have my fabric stash (have way too much) in boxes, unfortunately the only way due to shape of room. It’s not ideal but the room does need a massive tidy up.
I know what you mean Alison. It’s such a big job to do isn’t it 🙈. I found that by removing EVERYTHING from the room helped. Then I worked in small time slots (so I didn’t overwhelm myself) and only put things back in it if they were organised and how I wanted them. Took quite some time but it was actually quite nice to do a little at a time! x
Just recently found your channel - can you guess how? ; ) The first video I watched was the before of your sewing room. Oh my goodness what an amazing transformation! Fricking LOVE the wallpaper/yarn wall! Happy creating in your new space. Looking forward to lots of new makes!
Love your room. You've inspired me to redo my room. Waiting on hubby to make my cabinets ( like the create cabinets). That will really help complete my vision of my planned room.
This looks great Ruan! I love watching your videos you have so much personality!! :) This video makes me want to reorganise my sewing room! 🤦♀️ I need labelled boxes and cute storage options now!! 😂
Absolutely fabulous video and lovely room. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. You always make me smile😍 could you tell me where you got your mat from for your chair movement? I've just had new thick carpets which are lovely to walk on but the chair with my tonnage sitting on it gets stuck in the pile as I have a similar set up to your sewing space. Keep the vlogs coming🥰
Hi Marian. Many thanks 😊 I just popped on Pinterest and looked up DIY doorstop. There’s some fab ones on there. Think I’ll try a pyramid one next time 👍🏼
Thank you Catherine! Yes I do store them in the envelopes. Some of them are more bulky than others but I’ve started to get my patterns printed by Fabulosew so they’re on much thinner paper 👍🏼
Hi Ruan your room is gorgeous. Where did you get your thread catcher and pin cushion thingy that’s hanging of your sewing machine table , I need one of those .😘Xx
Thank you Tracey! I bought the thread catcher from a Stitching Show a couple of years ago. Sorry! If you google it I’m sure there will be some tutorials on them though 👍🏼
Omgoodness the flower wall is so, so PRETTY. It does make the room pop. Beautiful space! TFS!
Thank you 😊. I just love the wallpaper. It keeps the room bright but also makes it a little funky!
Feel like I’ve been “Through the Keyhole” who sews in a room like this. Flippin lovely Ruan xxx
He he. I was like that when I watched yours! So good to see where people sew 🧵
You are such a breath of fresh air you really make my day. Love the room it is just awsome, love everything. When you get your new carpet make sure your other half sorts out the creaky floor board... LOL
He he. Thank you Elaine! I’m so happy with my room. I’m so lucky to have that space 😊
It's bootiful hun! Hard work paid off. You'll never be out of there! xx

Great re-do!! Those knitted letters are 🤩🤩🤩🤩! ❤️
They’re amazing aren’t they Andra! Can’t stop thinking of where in the house I could put more of them 🤣
Love love love it fantastic job done you will have to have a official opening of the new sewing room... ribbon cutting the works 😂❤
He he. I’ve moved into another room now 🤪
I absolutely love your sewing room. The touch of pink is perfect. Enjoy your special little room. Look forward to seeing your new creations.

Then I worked in small time slots (so I didn’t overwhelm myself) and only put things back in it if they were organised and how I wanted them. Took quite some time but it was actually quite nice to do a little at a time! x
It's beautiful! You've done an alright job haven't you? 😉 It must be an inspirational place to sew now.
Aww thank you Mairead. I love it 🥰
Just recently found your channel - can you guess how? ; ) The first video I watched was the before of your sewing room. Oh my goodness what an amazing transformation! Fricking LOVE the wallpaper/yarn wall! Happy creating in your new space. Looking forward to lots of new makes!
Hi Heather! Glad you’ve joined us crazy lot! Thank you for the lovely compliment and so glad you’re enjoying the #frugalfrocks challenge 😊
I love your sewing room. Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you 😊
Love your room. You've inspired me to redo my room. Waiting on hubby to make my cabinets ( like the create cabinets). That will really help complete my vision of my planned room.
Oh wow Marian...that will be amazing! Go for it 🤩
Beautiful room, enjoy it!
Thank you 😊
This looks great Ruan! I love watching your videos you have so much personality!! :) This video makes me want to reorganise my sewing room! 🤦♀️ I need labelled boxes and cute storage options now!! 😂
Aww thank you. I’ve wanted to do it for SO long. So pleased with it 😊
Absolutely fabulous video and lovely room. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. You always make me smile😍 could you tell me where you got your mat from for your chair movement? I've just had new thick carpets which are lovely to walk on but the chair with my tonnage sitting on it gets stuck in the pile as I have a similar set up to your sewing space. Keep the vlogs coming🥰
Thank you Debby! Yes the mat is just from IKEA. They do delivery too 😉
Love it!
Thanks Lorie ☺️
Great makeover

Hi Marian. Many thanks 😊 I just popped on Pinterest and looked up DIY doorstop. There’s some fab ones on there. Think I’ll try a pyramid one next time 👍🏼
Loving The Sewing Room
Thank you 😊
Love it Ruan 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Lisa 😊
What a lovely, happy and entertaining video! Do you store your assembled pdf patterns in the envelopes, they always seem quite bulky?
Thank you Catherine! Yes I do store them in the envelopes. Some of them are more bulky than others but I’ve started to get my patterns printed by Fabulosew so they’re on much thinner paper 👍🏼
Hi Ruan your room is gorgeous. Where did you get your thread catcher and pin cushion thingy that’s hanging of your sewing machine table , I need one of those .😘Xx
Thank you Tracey! I bought the thread catcher from a Stitching Show a couple of years ago. Sorry! If you google it I’m sure there will be some tutorials on them though 👍🏼
