I couldn't put alot of money into my sewing room, I wanted the scrapbox but it was just too expensive, so I bought three red husky cabinets from home depot and a husky work bench. (when in doubt, buy from the men's section). saved a bundle of money and was able to get cubby boxes from amazon really cheap and organize that way. painted the room pink so the cabinets and work bench would pop. turned out nice. love your room. it looks peaceful

[@celiagtorres]

Love all the quilts showing in your sewing room, specially the two little ones, "spool and the other one next to it", easy to make it I believe. Congratulations for all of you accomplished.

[@mellymel1100]

I think it's pretty, and I like that you explain how/why, link all your things, and don't have obnoxious music! :D

[@thomaslucas5287]

Sherri I love your space but, I wish you would have shared about your quilt racks and ladders. I love that white ladder. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@thomaslucas5287]

FYI it's not Thomas sharing it's Jan.

[@littlequiltsong9576]

Really enjoyed this tour of your beautiful sewing room. Love the big windows, and your great work spaces and storage. Also your quilt displays - so inspiring to have them out where you can see the quilts you have sewed. Enjoy this new space Sherri!

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

I'm working on my sewing, & craft room. Lot's of nice ideas. Once I'm done painting, & putting flooring in I can design it better now. Very helpful video. Thanks, your new fan, Jenny.

[@morganquilts]

Wow! Great working space! A definite "happy place"!!!!

[@CJ-ph6zk]

I have enjoyed your informative video's. You are very calm and have a very soft voice. Just found your site and you inspired me.

[@marybradley168]

Hi Sherri, I enjoyed the tour of your sewing room. There are a lot of great ideas with storage and I like the different zones you have created to make your "A Quilting Life" much easier. Thank you and take care. Mary

[@maryannecadd796]

Love your sewing room!! It's light, bright and cheery. I think I could get easily inspired in room like that! Thanks for sharing - there a few ideas I will incorporate in my room - which is unfortunately much smaller but it's all mine!

[@suebabe100]

That was fun!! Such a beautiful studio, thanks !!

[@kaylac3367]

Your sewing room is very very nice. I really like your organization and that cutting table in the middle of the room. So nice of you to share your space with us. And as you said we can take some ideas and possibly make our own space better. Thank you!❣

[@brendacarlin9001]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@sandracedar368]

So organized & lovely!

[@bbrosser694]

I love your sewing room because it is so light and airy with great choices for organization and storage. Also, found the choices that help you store individual projects in separate organizers. Wow... what a perfect environment for being creative and organized.

[@cherylmarch9293]

Thank you for the tour of your sewing room. I love how you store and display things. And I like the scrap idea with the bin that gets half full, then they are transferred to other bins. Neat and tidy! I love your room! My room is going to be getting a do over. 😊

[@lynetteperry3559]

Just love your Quilts

[@adrianadeoliveira7731]

Wonderful place to sew your patchwork and quilt. Congrats!

[@lynn7049]

Just gorgeous! I love it. My house is so drafty I get a good layer of dust every day. Your space is beautiful!

[@dulcesantos4352]

Love your sewing room. Inspiring. Thank you!

[@lisawalters5482]

Thank you for the tour. It’s a very functional and beautifully done room. You did a great job with storage. I use an extra bedroom for my space and it still has the bed and must function as a bedroom when our kids and their families come. So I’m limited. Have a great rest of the week and God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@annwoods3251]

Thanks for that, I too have my craft room lined with the Billie shelves they are very useful and inexpensive. My craft room is not quite so tidy. it has to share with the other crafts I do but I am still glad I have it. UK

[@karenpresley7101]

Such a great space. I love your room. It must be a joy to work in. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and have to be very creative with my area. I use my dining room table for sewing and cutting. My book shelves hold fabric instead of whatnot. They are art pieces to me. I have many of your videos to catch up with. The last couple of months have been a little crazy. I've been spending time with my mother that's 84 and I have a heart condition that makes me feel very tired a lot of the time. But I can't wait to get back to sewing and catching up. Have a great weekend and thank you. 😊

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

I love your sewing room ❤️ thank you.

Very nice sewing studio. Great storage ideas. Thanks

[@kathrynford795]

Wow, I would love to have that much space to organize my sewing room, fabrics, rulers, and notions, I also have my stamping, card making, paints and metal work to keep organized. You are one lucky girl!! I love the displays of quilts also.

[@connielindholdt9043]

Just lovely!

[@cuash55]

Sherri McConnell, you are a life saver with this video! My new quilt room is just being started this weekend, and I made a trip to IKEA this week to get a tornviken like you suggested to add last minute!!!!

[@nuvoclassic]

Great room and great tour! (warning, TMI). Never realized how lucky I am to also have 2 windows in my sewing 'garret'. I had to disperse my sewing supplies throughout 3 rooms at home when I lost my huge remote craft/sewing studio. Owners sold the building and all the tenants had to move out in less than 30 days - very traumatic for me. My three rooms are Sunroom, Craft studio, and Garret. My Sunroom is spacious so it's dedicated to large items - cutting and ironing yardage and large precuts, storing large stuff. Craft studio (with computerized sewing machine) is dedicated to sewing large pieces and assembling large tops. Small upstairs 'Garret' with mechanical sewing machine is for cutting, ironing, piecing tiny sizes of CQs, crumbs, and string projects. You gave me several ideas - 1) REPURPOSE an old typing document holder - move it from office to sewing table for displaying current project notes. 2) MOVE a clamp-on magnifier table lamp from downstairs cutting table to upstairs sewing 'garret'. Added benefit is the magnifier can be used for ripping out seams. (There is a basket for those, too. If I make a mistake, it gets tossed in that 'rip seam' basket. I've learned not to stop, to keep up sewing momentum. Maybe seam will get fixed later...or not). I will then move the smaller upstairs Ottlite task lamp to the downstairs cutting table - and have more space on cutting table (which I sort of share with hubby. I get 2/3 he gets 1/3. On Thursdays I clear off the middle third so we can work on financial planning and pay bills together. On 'special occasions' we both clear off our sides of the table.) 3) USE a basket to corral loose ironing supplies at downstairs ironing board (extra water, water spray bottle, starch spray bottle, scissors, etc. Upstairs I already use a sectional rolling cart from Sally's Beauty Supply next to the ironing station in the garret' for the ironing stuff needed upstairs. 4) the small wooden brayer I inherited from another seamstress is a 'seam roller' - not a paint brayer! Fyi, the ironing station in the 'garret' was cobbled together by repurposing an antique sewing table/cabinet that was missing it's inner sewing machine. I keep the lid open which makes a large 43-inch work surface. Then I covered the empty hole with sturdy cardboard, and laid an open portable sewing/ironing pad on top. Each leg of sewing cabinet is on a bed from hardware store. So I don't have to bend over too much when cutting or ironing. The space on the left side, where the cabinet lid protrudes past the cutting/ironing pad, is used as a stand-up-desk. There I keep my exercise log and a purse insert with my daily necessities (fanny pack with pedometer, chapstick, inhaler, eye drops, Ricola). As for scrap management, I recently began dividing mine roughly by size into a few 'shove zones' until organizing time later. At my cutting table downstairs, I use a divided 2-section water bucket bought new for my remote studio. (I think divided bucket is designed for mopping floors - which I've never done in my life). Upstairs at sewing table, I keep a medium basket on floor under third ironing station (a DIY padded TV table) for 'medium' scraps. On the sewing table, there is a small repurposed clear plastic spinach container on table for small scraps. On floor at left side of my rolling typing chair, is a 'squishy' magazine 'bucket' where I toss 'garbage' fabric/thread detritus. Eventually, the magazine holder scraps/thread will go into pet beds as stuffing. My upstairs 'garret' is small - and half of it is still used as my dressing room, mini gym, and guitar practice room. So I have packed a lot of functionality into the sewing corners - mostly by using EVERY inch - vertically, horizontally, and up the walls. Oh and I store lots of WIP project fabric in the attached cedar closet with built in cedar dresser drawers. But the closet still has most of my dress clothes that I'm trying to purge. Eventually, it will be ALL sewing stuff. :-) By the way, I also like that you displayed the finished quilts during your tour - very inspiring!

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍 😍

[@MariaGonzalez-mb5tv]

Nice tour, it’s nice that your sewing room is just that, my room is a multi purpose room. It looks like your getting good use of your space

[@GrandmaP10]

Amazing!!

[@ingridtinsley4141]

I love your studio tour 😊!! This is a great space to create and work, what I like the most is the openness and the light that you get with the 2 windows. Also, I really like all your furniture and I was wandering if can I get the information on the 2 white pieces that you have in between the windows, I am talking about the quilting rack and hanging shelf with the quilt, I am working on my sewing/craft room as well and I need places where to display my quilts. Thanks !!

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

The quilt rack was from a local maker who has since moved. And the shelf with quilt was from Pottery Barn Kids a few years ago. :)

[@carolmorgano7158]
