I loved this tour Karina. I am still quite new to your wonderful channel and still discovering the huge range of video tutorials (and clothes) you have made and shared so generously. For everyone who sews in a corner and has to pack everything away after each session I can only say ‘hold on to your dream studio - it will come true for you’. I am in my seventies and my dream came true late in retirement. We have an old weatherboard farmhouse that has seen many changes but when my children and grandchildren moved too far away to be regular visitors I was finally able to bring my vision into glorious reality. I still pack away during visits but they are few and far between. Thank goodness for FaceTime - I have long conversations with everyone but my sewing room is there for me. I’m not as productive as I would like to be, but oh, how I enjoy it. I have gained so much from your channel and became a Patreon member to help you keep doing what you do so well.😊 🙏

[@lindahines7294]

I agree with all the positive comments from your other viewers! You’re the best on KZbin in my opinion! Thanks for the tour!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Wow, thank you!

[@Yahoo1339]

Thank you so much for the tour of your sewing and filming, you are a very special lady.❤❤❤❤

[@mysewperpower]

I love how functional your space is, Karina. I don't agree that your videos in the beginning were "bad". Just like now, with all the new equipment, those videos were full of sewing gems. I learned a lot from you! Thank you!

[@phaedrapotter7175]

Hello Karina, thank you for giving us a tour of your sewing and filming space. It's amazing what goes on behind the scenes of your brilliant videos. Love the dress you are wearing, the fabric is gorgeous. 🌻

[@debm460]

You are such an exceptional person. Everything you do is top notch, including setting up your studio and finding time to post this video. I remember when you were just starting out. The passion for sewing and kindness in sharing your knowledge are still there. Enjoyed all the organizational tips. Regards to all of your family!

[@vickichisholm931]

Thank you for inviting me into your sewing space. I love how you store your machine feet; those containers are great. Keep up the great work. Thanks

[@rhondaa18]

Awesome tour because you are an excellent teacher and sewing inspiration. If I want to know a good, tried and true technique on something, I often search your videos. I really appreciate the blessing you share with the sewing community. I have my sewing area set up in the back of a long closet space behind our master bedroom. It has gone through several remakes: I have to keep it efficient and organized because the space is narrow (one of my biggest challenges). I sometimes dream what it would be like to have a dedicated sewing room, with a window (I have no natural light in my space - my other big challenge). Then I remember how much storage I have in the closet, and it’s hard for me to imagine how I would organize in a whole room… Oh well, I love the craft and the creativity we get to share. Thank you for sharing what you love…

[@suedavis580217]

Thank you Karina for the behind the scenes tour. 'Sew' interesting to see! Wow! I can't tell you how much I really enjoy your videos and your tips and explanations of patterns and sewing. You take the fear out of sewing garments for me and let me know that I can do this! Thank YOU! 😊

[@Escape10mom]

Thanks for showing us where the magic happens. I do really appreciate those close up sewing videos that you make!!

[@m.b.ortega544]

Thanks for showing your well- organized and thought out sewing space to us, your nosey viewers. 😜 You have a great and big fabric collection. I agree, you definitely should sew up your beautiful silk fabrics. You would enjoy your luxurious silk more by wearing it.

[@Hide_and_silk]

You have exactly the same sewing machine and serger as me! I'm with you on the basic and reliable approach!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

No need for more at this point :) They are workhorses.

[@sandybarr3094]

Thank you for the tour of your sewing room. I am impressed how organized you are! My sewing is crammed with lots of things. I need to clean out!

[@janeusher1472]

Thanks for showing us your sewing and filming space. It was so interesting as I wondered how you managed to produce such professional tutorials - and on your own too. I have watched all your videos and find them so useful and informative, particularly your hacks. I’m 70 and have been sewing for over 60 years and still learning. I’ve even changed the way I baste after seeing you sewing several stitches at a time rather than one at a time. Genius! So quick…. Big thank you. Janie✂️✂️

[@susuburleson878]

Karina, thank you for showing us where all the “magic” happens! Your videos are my favorites.

[@s.s.8029]

Thank you for sharing! I have been watching you for longer than I realize and I love how you have grown over the years to help us grow as sewists! Keep up the good work.

[@aileenyoung6999]

So much work involved in bringing great videos thank you for sharing your talents

[@lindasmalleysews]

I just love your honesty! You are such to help to us garment sewers!!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Oh thank you!

[@janicek6399]

Functionality is very important, I'm glad you are able to make your sewing room a pleasant, happy and functional space!

[@moyralouise7123]

I love Janome too, grown up using them fro Mum and Aunties. I just have entry level but does everything I need 😊

[@ingridmohr9824]

Oh Karina, you're so special! Thank you for sharing your sewing/filming studio with us. It is perfect! Your love for sewing is really so inspiring and your smile makes me feel better every time I watch you.💓💓💓

[@reneepasquale3917]

Simply love watching you! You are inspiring and a joy to watch! -I own and operate a teaching sewing studio-enthusiasm and spreading the joy of sewing is so important when teaching students! You do this so naturally and the passion and joy radiate! Thanks for sharing your studio, your talent, and your beautiful passion to create! Many blessings to you!❤️🧵✂️

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Your studio must be a delight! I really do love all of this.

[@reneepasquale3917]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles -I’m often told by my students -entering my studio is therapeutic! And it’s true -sewing and( teaching this art) is truly a powerful tool in helping people to heal and cope! Life can be harsh and difficult -creating grounds us and places us in an empowered position to build our confidence, our happiness, and a positive mindset! Thank you for being a beautiful part of this journey! ❤️🧵✂️

[@denisedorsey2889]

That was a fun tour of your sewing studio. I’ve often noticed the painting, it’s so nice to know that your mom did it for you. Your workspace is efficiently organized. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

She painted it for me in 2019 and it’s a treasure 😀😀

[@janetmiura3906]

Your videos are always excellent. Thank you for the tour of your sewing room/studio, which displays the time and investment you’ve made to continually improve the quality of your work. The pride you take in your work, which equals your sewing skills, is inspirational.

[@valeriebishop561]

This was brilliant!! My favorite thing is your mom's painting. xxxooo

[@gorgo1945]

The behind the scenes video today certainly gives us all a better idea of the huge commitment you have to your sewing and your channel. I found it so interesting to see you in your "special place" that not only makes you happy but also creates something so helpful to your subscribers and of course it is a source of income too. The perfect mix. Thank you so much for all you do for us - I love your channel and I cant wait to see your notifications pop up on my computer. I follow all your tips and I can honestly say Im a far better sewer thanks to you. xx

[@houseinnorthcarolina9439]

Karina, I was so surprised to see the amount of fabric you have! My husband should never complain again! Love your channel. Thank you. Suzanne

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

lol there’s no shame in my game with the fabric collection 😀😀

[@suek7086]

I like your room. That painting from your mom brought tears. It is so precious.

[@carolreece1592]

Thank you Karina, really enjoyed seeing your work space. Loving your channel

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

I had to laugh when you were talking about the paper patterns taking over your ironing board because that happens to me all the time. I have the last 5 or 6 patterns I've sewn still not put away and I keep moving them back and forth from ironing board to sewing table depending on what I'm doing. 😂 I'll go put them away now.

[@hsawyer9558]

Wow! How fun to get to visit your sewing room. We can all learn from you more tips for making ours functional. Thank you!

[@tracys.5143]

Thank you for showing and sharing your lovely space, Karina! I always loved how simple and "old school" you were. This seems so sophisticated and polished now. You create beautiful content! So glad you and your channel are doing well!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

The sewing is still old school... only thing that has improved is the filming equipment :) My machines are still basic too.

[@Twalker533]

Love your sewing room. I completely understand the need to put your fabric behind doors. I am the same way. When it is stacked and out in the open it feels chaotic to me too! Lol. It is interesting to see the “behind the scenes”. Thanks so much h for the tour! I really enjoy your channel! ❤

[@joanneharvey246]

Thank you for showing us nosey people your sewing room. I live in a small 1BR apartment and took over the little dining area as my sewing room. It works okay for what I have accumulated. It’s organized for me. Like you…it’s all very handy. Just the way I like it. I love watching your videos and I’ve learned so much. Thank you for ALL that you share.

[@skoop0808]

Thank you so much for sharing your space; it is nice to know what your room looks like as I watch your videos. That sounds weird, but I hope you know what I mean! LOL.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I know what you mean 😀😀

[@sharonnickels2788]

I am actually getting ready to have a closet in my sewing room redone. I was going to leave it open so I could see all my fabric which will be stored in cubby bins. However, you mentioned fading and I hadn't even thought of that. So I will have sliding doors on a track now!!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Very nice. I can’t wait until you make your first tweed or Boucle Chanel style jacket. I do believe I need to send you some fabric. I would not miss it. Well, I would but it would go to a good home. I like the acoustic panels.

[@seaside2001]

Like your top, Fabric is pretty. Thanks for the tour of your sewing room. Neat and organized helps so much. You know where everything is and can find it when needed. I would have to hem the curtains in my room to look neat, tidy and clean finish. Just me. I like a nice environment to work in. It was good combining your sewing and filming so much easier. Love the painting your Mother did for you. Would be nice to make a couple of pretty ironing board covers for your boards. It always feels better when they are spruced up, neat tidy and clean. I use quilt cottons and batting for the padding. Fun to see your video equipment. That is something most of us don't need to think about.

[@mariamacksoud8284]

Thanks for showing us your studio. Would you please let us know the dimensions of your sewing/ cut out desk? Thanks. You are such an artist! I love the organization and am so grateful for your videos. Thank you for investing so much to make your videos so clear and worthwhile.

[@silverluna8835]

It looks very functional and everything is within reach. I have to organize myself better. The fabrics are beautiful. I also organize them by type. Having a sewing room is heaven.

[@grammykcutter6374]

Really enjoyed the peek behind the scene. I think you do an incredible job of showing how to sew garments.

[@loriannpayne4483]

You have really thought every detail out Karina! So fun to see your sewing/filming room. Thank you for sharing.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

I enjoyed seeing your space. Thank you!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You’re so welcome 😀

[@doreenannafourie4125]

Thank you for sharing your work space, it lovely, most of us just dream of having some space to call our own. You have give me some ideas to make my bedroom more project friendly, my bedroom, is where I knit, crochet , sew and do embroidery. I love your videos, they have encouraged me to take out my machine that over 30 year old and make my self a gown. And at night I put it all in the cupboard before going to sleep.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I didn't have a sewing area for 27 years of my sewing.... it's only been in the last 5 years that I've had a room. Before it was all over the house :)

[@lindak8664]

Your sewing room really surprised me. I expected an overflowing, full on dressmakers studio. But its the complete opposite of what I expected, it’s very minimalist, and so tidy! You’d probably break out in a rash if you looked in mine 🤣

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

My house is very empty too. I guess I know now that things clutter my brain 😀

[@darlenehembree3249]

You are so cute! Love your sewing room! I always like to see everyone’s fabric stash, it makes me feel better about mine!! Thanks for showing us your room!!

[@LottieSue]

Oh...suting, cottons and sateen shelf is bowing. You might want to reinforce that. My closet shelf fell off the wall yesturday, having no idea it was leaning and ready to fall. Thank you for the tour. I'm tying to organinize my sewing space which is in my bedroom. You've done a gread job getting rid of visual clutter. I will follow your example.

[@adriennefranklin5986]

I loved this tour of your studio! Thanks for sharing it with us. I just watched your very first video and really enjoyed it too!

[@carolhughes312]

Great to see. Thanks

[@wendysimm7615]

You are so inspiring Karina thank you 😊

[@gertrudewelsh781]

I really like your room. I have exactly the same sewing machine as you but mine is teal. I have most of my fabric wrapped on magazine size comic boards and stacked like books on my shelves in my closet. I also like to keep the doors closed. I don't like clutter. But my room is a mess right now. I better go clear it out! Thanks for the tour.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Mine gets out of hand when I've been busy but I can't go more than 1-2 days without clearing it out :)

[@sueknutson9664]

Great organized sewing room. Such a nice fabric stash! I also have Janome sewing machine and I have the same Janome serger you have. Thank you for the tour and all the extra things you do to make your videos so wonderful.

[@sandrarajkumar9608]

Loved seeing your sewing room. Very inspiring !

[@peeshyholland433]

You are so cute! Awesome video!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You are so kind

[@carolyngethings]

You have the perfect sewing setup. A place for everything you need including your super fabric collection. Thanks for the look behind the scenes Karina x

[@sewlovemydogs]

No wonder you are so professional in the delivery of your videos, I love your content and look forward to every single new one you make.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m so glad! It’s motivating for me.

[@FlavorsandTextures]

Super Nice room!

[@salliecook7528]

You are so organized!!!! I also love my sewing room but it is not as organized and well kept as yours. During my project, I just make a mess and clean afterward. Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity. You give me so much inspiration, even tho I am 74. Thanks again.

[@vanessaarmstead5444]

I enjoyed this so much... thanks

[@louiseeiffel1014]

It's not a very large room, but you've organized it well. It was nice to see where you create all the great garments and great videos you show us. Thanks for the tour.

[@debbiewhite3270]

TY for the tour. You are hands down, my favorite you tube teacher. I have learned so much. I am good at accumulating stuff but not as good as actually making the clothes yet. I developed a fabric addiction. I love how you have the fabric separated by content. any advice on how to differentiate if I already have them mixed up? I have them stored stretch v non stretch. I definitely have to minimize the "junk" I've accumulated. You do amazing work without the clutter. I'm also so impressed at the completely different skillset of filming and editing.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’ve had fabric by colors before and that didn’t work. I’d suggest you just experiment and see what works best for you. The filming skills… that’s been a work in progress 😀

[@dawnwyda7950]

You are an inspiration. It is very refreshing to see your focus on function and the sewing. I love your videos. Thank you for all the knowledge you share!

[@victoriahannah1633]

Wow! You are so organized. Thank you for the tour. I enjoy your videos.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks 😀😀

[@carolynhoppe3196]

That is fantastic Karina. Thanks for your exceptional tour of your sewing studio. Love it!

[@francesthomas3463]

Thank you for inviting us into your sewing room. All your videos are so informative. I didn't see a coverstitch machine. How do you hem your knit garments? Also, do you have a backup machine in case your Janome has to be serviced? Just curious.

[@Ohcarol912]

You always give the best advice and your explanations are excellent. Loved looking around your sewing area but I never knew how much effort goes into putting the videos together or how much equipment was needed. Exceptional as always. 😊

[@mrsthe97]

Thank you for the tour!

[@zibergirl2]

Great to see where the magic happens! Thanks for sharing.

[@michellem3899]

Your space is so neat. I am working on cleaning mine right now!

[@NancySchober]

Thank you! I've been curious as to how all that lovely fabric is stored. I feel like in my cluttered sewing room it looks like a fabric bomb exploded, lol. I'd like to organize it better. And I need to get a box like that for my machine needles.

[@robertafahrni7169]

Thank you for sharing! It looks great! Can I ask how you store your patterns after you use them? Do you hang them?

[@ellenhomeister7374]

I admire your sewing studio setup. Thanks for sharing. Do you prewash your fabric before storage or do you wait until you pull out the fabric to start a project?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’ve got a mix of both. Washed and unwashed. If the raw edges are serged, it means it’s been washed.

[@leeannwicker937]

I like your setup and how neat everything is. How do you store your patterns?

[@TheHaymeadow]

Thanks for the tour Karina, I love the functionality and so great to see part of your stash!!! It’s been a couple of years since I subscribed as a brand new sewist and you’ve taught me a lot, thank you for being you and sharing with ‘us’ 😁
