A Quilting Life Sewing Room Tour

[@heneverforesakesme4038]

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.

[@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.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Love your room, the bright light, the flooring, the beautiful quilts, and gorgeous fabrics.

[@Tami_from_Texas]

beautiful room, nice and large. I love all the work stations around your room.

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@ElaineWoodruff]

I know this is 4 years later, but I just recently found your channel! I love your sewing room! It’s so organized and pretty! Also, I noticed that we have the same flooring! Thank you for the tour and all of your great ideas!

[@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!

[@ShirleyDeeDesigns]

I love the color of your featherweight. I do all my sewing on one, even my free motion quilting up to queen size quilts!

[@LTDQuilting]

For people that want the cart, you can get them in lots of colors at Michaels stores or Michaels online and pick up in store or have shipped to your home. They are great! I have a couple of them.

[@currybungalow7087]

Many thanks, Sherri, for adding a link for my Thread Catcher to the blog post! It was such a nice surprise to see it in your tour. And your sewing space is seriously drool-worthy. Everything about it is positively perfect!

[@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.

[@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.

[@CalllieQuilter]

Thank you for the peek into your sewing room. It's a beautiful space, i would never want to leave your room.

[@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

[@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!❣

[@Molly-pb2yb]

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

[@lotuslodgespa3167]

LOVE IT!!! You’re more than welcome to come organize and set my sewing space up LOL!! Thank you for sharing!! Can’t wait to see your new fabric line 🤗

[@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

[@mariawells8026]

Sherri this is so beautiful and functional!! Thank you for sharing your special space and hints. I love your videos and learn so much. God bless!

[@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. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@annetteellis4188]

I just love your sewing room. What wonderful storage you have. I am currently thinking about how to display my mini quilts and quilts in my room. Thanks for sharing.

[@starbrown1219]

It so great. Love that you have 2 windows. I am lucky to have one big one in my second bedroom studio. Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to your Balboa collection.

[@donnamonti2033]

Oh my stars and garters! Your sewing studio is FABULOUS! Thanks ever so much for letting us into this special 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.

[@petaclark7925]

I love, love , love your sewing room! I love how organized and beautiful it is. Thank you for sharing your space with us.

[@C12133]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful sewing room!!! Oh my goodness, it looks so functional and organized!! Thanks for all of the tips too! I’m so happy for you!!😍❤️

[@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!!!!

[@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!

[@lynn7049]

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

[@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. 😊

[@BrendaHotinger-TheQuiltingNook]

Beautiful room! It must be a pleasure to sew there. Thanks for sharing!

[@adrianadeoliveira7731]

Wonderful place to sew your patchwork and quilt. Congrats!

[@donnadelany1797]

[@xg__garbled]

it's a beautiful space for quilting and sewing. thank you for sharing.🦋

[@cathylombard964]

Beautiful room!

[@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!

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

[@cherylnewell9806]

Very nice room. When I planned my room I had to plan around 2 longarm.

[@kathyguenther5866]

Very nice sherri everything is so neat and tidy...... I love the iron board topper a friend's dad made for me. You can find the directions on Pinterest Wild Onion studio has a excellent tutorial with pictures. The nice thing about it is you can perfectly fit it in your space. It is removable so if you need to store it it comes off your iron board for transport or storage. We can make it a pretty color to fit our space. Costs a little of nothing just materials and I bet the hubby would love to help you with it.....tell him it's easy!!!!!!

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍😍Kathy

The long silver light @8:53 doesn't seem to have a link. The one light link included in the description box is for the short lamp. When you get a chance could you give a name or some direction on how to find one? Thank you.

[@sewingmachineartistry]

Thank you for the tour and the inspiration. I just moved into a new sewing room. Your room is beautiful and you have really great storage ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@hinchcroft]

I just started watching your videos. So glad i found you! Love your quilts. Can you give me links to patterns/fabrics. Apologies if all that already mentioned.

[@splendaglenda1632]

Very beautiful sewing room

[@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. :)

[@QuiltingPammy]

Loved your tour. I am in the planning stages for my own room. Could you let me know the room size? Thanks,Pam

[@Ohiogirl454]

Fell in love with your Ohio Star quilt on your wall. Had to get the pattern at your etsy store!

[@gingerlawson9612]

Thank You for sharing your sewing room, if mine was as neat as yours I would not leave it at all, till bed time then sneak back down to just set in it. Love your spool mini do you have a pattern for it, would like to do one for my sewing room door. The colors are just great . Forgot to mention I listen to your podcast with you daughter can not wait for the next one you guys are great, what one can not think of the other can. Stay safe till the next time.

[@connielindholdt9043]

Just lovely!

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

What is the the long wooden tool caddy on your table by the window. I love that caddy...it's so unique! You have a beautiful sewing space. I'm in the process of remaking my room...I hope I can make it half as nice.

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

it's from Magnolia...but I picked it up a few years ago from their website.

[@michelehood479]

I got mine at Walmart

[@Noreenlee1]

I'm interested in how you manage ironing larger things when you have the Rowenta on your board. I've thought about getting one, but it seems inordinately large. Lovely room!
