Sewing Room Tour

[@nikkijohnson552]

Thank you for showing us that great results can come from small spaces if one has talent and a sense of style.

[@DevonThreadTales]

You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@juliadroy1179]

Angela your sewing space is delightful, well organised, thank you for sharing it with us x

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much!

[@joanneblair2087]

I love the idea of the project drawer.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you, it really works for me ❤️❤️

[@susier7766]

Hi. Your sewing "space" is good to go! I love it and it fits you very very well - so pretty and well organized.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you! 😊 That's so lovely of you 🥰

[@SM-yd8hq]

What a delightful house you have.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much - that is so kind of you 🥰

[@juliabedford373]

Thanks for showing us your sewing space, it is helpful to see how other people store all of their sewing bits and bobs and also encouraging for those of us that don't have a large, dedicated sewing space.

[@DevonThreadTales]

I'm so glad it's helpful. Thank you so much 😘❤️❤️

[@MeticulousShopper]

Aw love the little bears from your daughter's room!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you! 😊

[@sandrachamberlain5760]

Hi Angela, Thank you for sharing your sewing space and tips. You've organised it all so well and I love the pencil case and sewing machine needle idea, that is one I'll be copying for sure. 😎❤

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. Definately copy the machine needle idea, I have to or I can just never remember 😂🙈. Thank you again ❤️

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

I loved seeing your sewing space. Great use of space. ❤️ Thank you for sharing.

[@DevonThreadTales]

So glad you enjoyed it - thank you so much 🥰

[@linvin18]

Really enjoyed this video Angela, probably because I'm very nosey. What a lovely family home you have, hugs xx

[@DevonThreadTales]

😂😂 I love your honesty! Thank you so much 😘❤️❤️

[@bridgetrsews]

I enjoyed watching your video and love your sewing space with lots of natural light. I am going to steal the idea of table protector under your machines, it’s a brilliant idea ! Karen R

[@DevonThreadTales]

I love the mats under the machines, it makes life so much easier, when moving them around. Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@fabricsewweardipusey1933]

Love seeing your sewing space and lots of useful tips too.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaahhh thank you so much 😊❤️

[@Sewingbearclare]

I use the disposable mascara brushes from the pound shop for cleaning my machines as they are flexible and very slim to get in the small gaps. I also photocopy the pages from my manuals and have laminated them. I have my business/postcards on a scrapbook ring, I laminated them, hole punched them and pop them on the ring. I store all my patterns in the plastic wallets they are brilliant. Thank you for sharing your sewing space its fabulous x

[@DevonThreadTales]

That's such a fab idea, with the mascara brushes. I'm going to keep an eye out for them. Thank you 🥰

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

You have a very well organised sewing space and thank you for the tour and tips. I used to sew in the dining room but do have a room now but it desperately needs organising as it’s too full. I don’t really know where to start! This is typical of me as I have just got too much fabric and patterns. I could do a destash too but do like most of it! I used to have a sew Hayley jane box for 6 months and just couldn’t use the fabric fast enough as some of it wasn’t to my taste. I’ve recently used most of the fat quarters for masks though. You have been very inspiring and the empty drawer for an ongoing project is a great idea.SewSarah smith suggested putting a pin in the needle slot to show which needle you’ve used. It’s a good idea but it does leave the packet open and all the needles can slip out so I may start using your idea. Thank you 🤗

[@DevonThreadTales]

You are welcome, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I have to say the empty drawer is great - It really works for me. Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@nancyhildebrant9432]

Love your sewing space tour. I think you make very good use of the space you have, and most importantly, you obviously accomplish a lot in there! We moved from a very large house with tons of dedicated sewing space about a year ago, just to have less house to take care of in our retirement. Our small home is still a work in progress, but I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying sewing in a small, organized space at one end of our bedroom! Everything I need is right where I can reach it. Sometimes, less truly is more. Love your shows. Keep up the good work.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much 🥰 Isn't that funny - and really interesting that actually you prefer the smaller sewing space. I love that, and just proves you can really make anything work for you when you have a hobby that you truly love and enjoy. Wonderful 🥰❤️

[@MissMoon111]

Great idea about the needles I might steal that trick!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Yes - definitely, do it. It helps me no end ! Thank you 🥰

[@2Peachcobler]

I enjoyed seeing your sewing space. I also have a Husqvarna Viking (topaz 50). Lately I've gotten into machine embroidery. I have sewed on just about every brand of sewing machine including industrial machines. I'm currently trying to figure out how to improve my sewing space. I love colorful tins and your butterfly drawers. I would love to have a great big window to look out when you sew.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much for watching I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Colourful tins are great aren't they! How lovely to be into machine embroidery, it's not something I've done yet, but may have a go at, at some point. Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

[@sairdie]

I love the Gutermann thread guide too! Such a useful tool, I wouldn't be without it

[@DevonThreadTales]

It really is! I love it, so glad I invested in it. Thank you 🥰

[@kendradecker8712]

Thank you for this! It's so nice (and helpful!) to see the resourceful ways that others store sewing supplies!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you, so glad you liked it 😊❤️

[@GagaKnits]

Hi Angela. You are so organised. Not a stray thread in sight! You have made wonderful use of the space that is available to you and what a lovely view from your sewing desk window. Xxx

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaahhh thank you so much. I do love the view from my window. Thank you 😘❤️

[@karenlowes7802]

Thanks! Always fun seeing how others organize their sewi6.😀🇨🇦

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much - really glad you liked it 🥰

[@shirleysmith3401]

Love sewing room tours. I do exactly the same with my sewing needles. I leave the case out to remind me which needle I’m using. 👍😀

[@DevonThreadTales]

So glad it's not just me 🙈🤣. Thank you ❤️

[@Helenasew]

Always love a good sewing room tour!

[@DevonThreadTales]

😊😊 Me too, thank you ❤️

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

I loved that Angela.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you Claire 🥰

[@weaver7249]

Your sewing space is wonderful - you are so organized and neat. I built a studio and it pales in caparison, to you sewing spacing. Come to America and help me. I just love your channel. Thank you for sharing .

[@DevonThreadTales]

Ahhhh thank you so much - I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Ahhhh I would love to come to America 😂 Really appreciate your lovely kind comments Thank you so much 🥰

[@maryreinert4447]

Very nice and organized love you pattern weight s

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you 😊💖

[@sarahodonnell6957]

Wow you are really well organised. Thank You for sharing 🙌🏻❤️💙💜💚

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you! 🤗❤️

[@vickithompson1840]

Love your sewing space Angela, so organised and tidy. Had to smile when you were talking about the hammer and rope 😂😂

[@DevonThreadTales]

🙈🙈🙈 Well, sounded a bit dodgy didn't it 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you 😊❤️❤️

[@janetwilliams7705]

Your sewing room is lovely. Judging by the beautiful things you create, it works well for you. A happy place!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aahh thank you, that's so kind of you 😊❤️

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Lovely. All so organised. Thanks

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you 😊❤️

[@vickifenlon6279]

Not silly at all. Good tip about the needle case in the pencil case. I can never remember what needle iI am using...what a fabulous space you have, so organized!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you. I had to do something, as I always got in a muddle! Thank you 😊❤️❤️

[@runningsewandsew]

Lovely sewing room tour. 😊

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you! 😊 xx

[@kellyphillips716]

Thank you Angela. I really enjoyed the tour. Your space is lovely and very well organised x

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@georgianasstudio]

My mum gave me that same Encyclopaedia of sewing when I was about 12 years old! I still have it. Don't think I've really used it but I still love it.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Ooooh wow, isn't that funny! It's fab isn't it, I love it! Thank you 🥰

[@theresatumidajski5219]

Thank u for sharing your sewing situation. So refreshing to see how normal sewist cope with sharing space with family life. Most sewers do not have Hollywood studios. My space is small beyong words. We sewists persevere and create besuriful functional clothing despite space limitations. By the way u r so neat...... my space not so.

[@DevonThreadTales]

You are absolutely right. We all have different situations, but it is wonderful that we all have one thing in common and make it work for us. Thank you so much 😘❤️❤️

[@foxeymoore]

I did enjoy this video and I am in awe of your organisation skills. I have sewing room which always looks like a jumble sale and still my sewing spreads over the house. I need to be more like you 😂

[@DevonThreadTales]

Oh beleive me, I get messy, and spread all over the place at times! 😂😂😂 Can't be helped, comes with the hobby 🤣. Thank you 😉❤️❤️

[@mariamurray7675]

Great video! Not everyone can have a full room to use for sewing so it’s nice to see a great setup like yours. I smiled to myself as you were showing your desk. Your large cup with scissors, etc., your pencil case, and your little covered containers could be mine! I even have the same pair of snipping scissors. I loved seeing it all but especially how you manage your PDF patterns and current projects. And your tip about keeping track of your needles is smart! Off to clean my machines!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaaaahhh thank you so so much. Isn't that funny, having similar things! Thank you again 😊❤️❤️

[@dianecrews6130]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful sewing space. You are extremely organized and you have everything in its place. Even though you have things in different places everything is organized and everything has a purpose so I think you're sewing space is absolutely wonderful

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much! That is so so kind of you 🥰❤️

[@bazoin1]

I think I will video my sewing space 😁 and then you will realise for sure how organised you are. Tomorrow I shall have a grand tidy up so thanks for the inspiration. 👏☺️

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaaaahh bless you. To be fair, this was tidy. It does not always look like this 😂 Thank you 🥰

[@paulamattsson8583]

You're well organised 👍I have made myself little space in my living room

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you 😊. Ahh that's fab 😊❤️❤️

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you 😊. Aaaahh that's fab ❤️❤️

[@shaidabegum.]

Lovely seeing space 👍👌👏❤️🧵

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you 😘💕💕

[@quiltygal6981]

I think your space is wonderful. I'm very lucky to have a big room ( I used to have two but I combined them) but I sewed on the dining room table for years. Before I got married I lived for a while in a caravan and I even sewed in there 😁😁 it's amazing how you make do with what you have. Ps: I also have three big plastic boxes in the garage with non seasonal fabric and all my pdf master patterns in. Pps: good tip about tge needle I always forget what one I have in.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much. Ahhh that must be so amazing to have a lovely big room for your sewing. Like you said it is amazing what you can get on with in the space you have, and I know I'm luckier than many for even having a dedicated space. I'm so glad it's not just me that gets my needles mixed up 😂 Thank you 🥰❤️

[@heatherjsews]

I love your little sewing space :) I'm impressed with how organised you are! It's amazing what a machine cleaning can do! I was getting a lot of clunking and realized I should clean and oil my machines! Fixed the problem straight away!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Funny isn't it. Such a simple thing to do, and really changes the running of the machine! Thank you so much 😊❤️❤️

[@andieg3812]

So tidy and organised! 😄

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thanks so much 😊❤️

[@patm8751]

I have watched this video twice and it is evident that your sewing space/spaces are well planned, well loved and serve you well. My sewing space is small, but you've made me love it even more :)

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much! That is so wonderful, thank you so much for your really lovely message 🥰❤️

[@lindseythompson2108]

Excellent tour. Very encouraging for those of us who have bits everywhere. I think it comes down to having it so well organised even if it is spread around.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much. I would love to have a massive room or space! But like you say so long as it's organised it can still work well 😊❤️❤️

[@Querenciatv]

That's beautiful! I love your decoration. 🤩

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you! 🤗 So glad you like it 🥰

[@donitatoavs]

Thank you for sharing this with us! It’s always nice to see what other people do. I love the idea of the cutting mat storage! I really enjoy your channel. ❤️

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much, that's so kind of you. So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your lovely comments 🥰❤️

[@juliesew_me_something699]

Thanks for sharing I clean my machine after every project and in between if it’s a fluffy fibre I keep a note and date on machine of how much work my needle has done after all my machine is my best friend and I don’t want her to fall out with me 😊xxx

[@DevonThreadTales]

I love this - he he he 😂. No I wouldn't want mine to fall out with me either!! That's such a great idea. Thank you 🥰

[@heatherr9201]

What a nice setup and any dedicated desk is a good thing.... I have the opal 670 and love it.... yours came out soon after I bought mine.... will hopefully have it 20 or more years but like you will depend what I get next time but I have been happy with it.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much 🥰They are great machines are't they. I love men, it has been so great. Like you I'm hoping with a bit of care it should last a very very long time! Thank you again 🥰

[@whoatemychocolate4222]

Really good sewing room tour. You’ve given me loads of storage ideas. Thank you!

[@DevonThreadTales]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much 🥰

[@jounderhill6913]

Hi Angela! A great video! You are so well organised - my sewing space is our dining table and think when you don’t have a room you have to be organised! Also, I’m like you for forgetting what needle I have in my machine so I’ve taken to putting one of those skinny Post-It Notes above the needle (next to the take up lever) with the needle type and size written on it! Then I stick the Post-It on the inside of the lid of the tin where I keep my needles. Looking forward to your next vlog. 💜

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much. Yes you're right you do need to be just that bit more organised when you have less space or a shared space! That is such a great idea for remembering the needle. I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggles to remember 🥰❤️

[@GingerheadCo]

It was a lovely tour Angela ❤️ You're so well organised and tidy (I'm not! 🤣) x

[@DevonThreadTales]

Ahhhh bless you. Thank you so much 🥰

[@itssewxtra1713]

I think your system is wonderful and well thought out. Very neat indeed! I am here at my moms house aka childhood bedroom as I came back to care for her before she died. I haven’t spread out into the house much, I don’t have the heart to take over a room as a sewing room. Anyway my room is so crowded, but I’m happy to say I just finally bought a place of my own and I’m qgoing to have a sewing studio and start a channel etc. after I get settled. Maybe film the process. My boys are grown and I’m not going back to New Zealand, so it’s finally time. You will have one too. And let me say sewing and being creative isn’t filling a void, i don’t think there is a void at all because I sew. I hope that makes sense.I actually feel a bit over self indulgent, but tso excited! I think yours is ideal for having a young family being out where the action is. Anyway thanks so much for sharing, it is nice to see where all of your gorgeous clothes are made🧵👗🏆🎯💎💝

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you very much 🥰 I'm so sorry to her about your mum. I can see how that would feel strange not spreading out into the house. So glad that you are about to get a place of your own, and how exciting 😊. Let me know when you start a channel, I would love to see it. You're absolutely right it isn't filling a void, I certainly do it as I just feel the need to be creative. And, well, I love it! so yes probably a bit self indulgent 😂 Thank you so much again 🥰❤️

[@itssewxtra1713]

Devon Thread Tales I was impressed from the first time I saw your makes, how perfect they are. ❤️💯

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much, that's so incredibly kind of you 😊❤️

[@carolclipper8628]

Hi I've just subscribed to your channel. I love your sewing space and enjoyed your tour. Some really good tips. I'm fairly new to sewing and have just finished turning my spare room into a craft room. It's only small but I love it. Thank you for a lovely video 🙂

[@DevonThreadTales]

Ahhh thank you so much for subscribing, that's so kind of you. That's so wonderful, I bet that was lots of fun, making a craft room 😊 Good luck with your sewing journey 🥰

[@sharoncrawford6450]

Your sewing space is adorable. It's neat and well organized. You've been very creative with tin can weights. As long as it works for you that's all that matters! 👗👒✂️

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaah thank you, and you're so right too 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Nicely organised xxxx

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you 😊❤️

[@sarao982]

Great tour Angela. Love your use of the filled tins for pattern weights. I have these tins so will be using that idea 😀 you've utilised your space well and you're so organised😍

[@DevonThreadTales]

Yes, they are fab little tins, and you can use pretty much anything that has a little weight in them! Thanks so much 😊😘❤️❤️

[@tracyfrost]

You are very organised

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you ❤️

[@juliadeVeras63]

Cute sewing space!! 😍 To help me remember which needle I have in my machine, I put a wonderclip on the packet of needles i have taken it from !! 👍 x x

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaahhh that's such a fab idea. Thank you so much 😊❤️❤️

[@Thebakerthatsews]

Thank you for sharing. You’ve got a lovely sewing space and what a wonderful view into your garden. Some great tips too. Xx

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@valclements7092]

Hi Angela, nice view from your sewing space. I also clean my machines like you. A little tip my Brother machine is an embroidery combination sewing machine. Where I bought it they would hold seminars regularly and would encourage you when changing your top thread to snip near the the top and floss the the thread from the needle. Yes you end up throwing maybe twelve inches away each time but when you pull the thread backwards you get little fibres getting stuck where you can’t reach to clean out. Have a great day. Val❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@DevonThreadTales]

That is a fab tip - thank you. I hadn't heard of that before. I shall be sure to do that in the future. Thank you ❤️ Yes I love my little view from my window. Thank you so much again 🥰

[@katejames1361]

Thank you for showing us your sewing space. It was so interesting with lots of great ideas to try. I particularly like the way you keep track of your sewing machine needles, and your system for storing those bulky pdf patterns. I am so impressed that you have an empty drawer - something totally outside my experience!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Ha ha - yeah I know, I've just done that recently, as sometimes I felt like my space got messy with a half done project. I just fold everything up now, and pop it away in the drawer. Just makes the space more appealing for me to go back to! 😂 Thank you so much 🥰

[@karlawallace1633]

I would love to get the little color swatch guide you have. I too am a summer. We’re they custom made? I love how compact they are for carrying in my purse.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Hia, no I just bought them from Amazon : www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=summer+colour+swatch&crid=3GSLTR4HTLPK0&sprefix=summer+colour+%2Caps%2C168&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_14 Hope that helps 🥰

[@Allycat3270]

Hello Angela. Thank you for another lovely video it is so good to see you. I love your little sewing space, you are so well organised and you are 'inspiring' me to tidy mine! I think I will get a pencil case too, I will order one of those vintage Simplicity patterns one from Sew Direct (I can't get them here in Australia). Just remember to have your overlocker professionally serviced, as you will find that the blades that cut the fabric won't be sharp and will require either sharpening or replacing. I loved the little picture of your cat too, any chance that you will add one to your family? Stay safe and well xxxx

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you - that's great advice re the overlocker. I have had mine slightly over 12 months now, so probably worth a service - and my machine for that matter! So glad you enjoyed it - thank you so much for your lovely comments 🥰❤️

[@loriannpayne4483]

I loved, loved, loved your sewing room tour Angela! Thank you so much for sharing. It might be fun to consider an IKEA desk with a side pullout table so you could have the sewing machine on the main desk and the overlocker on the side pullout which can easily be pushed back in when you’re through with it. When I remodeled my sewing room, I bought one of those and love it. But honestly - your room is just wonderful as it is! Happy Sewing.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Great idea!! and do you know what is funny, I actually had a trip to Ikea on Saturday, we were just leaving, and my husband had to pop to the loo!! (Sorry) and while I was waiting your message popped up on my phone 😂 It was a bit late as we were leaving, but I've picked up their catalogs to have a little nose through, and see if I can find the desk you mean, as that sounds fab. Thank you so much 🥰❤️

[@loriannpayne4483]

@@DevonThreadTales It's the MALM (Desk with pull-out panel, 59 1/2 x 25 5/8). It's $179.00 in America and comes in white and black. It doesn't have any drawers in it but you can purchase a small set of drawers on casters which fits underneath I believe. You're so funny about "pop to the loo"! The word "loo" is not something we hear in the US. Cracks me up!

[@sosewmad]

It's great to see your tips and tricks, given me a lot of ideas, thank you!

[@DevonThreadTales]

Really glad you liked it 🥰 Thank you ❤️

[@hannahblowers6680]

Thank you for sharing "your" space. I loved the metal tins idea for pattern weights. Could I ask where you got your colors done please?

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaahhh thank you so much so glad you liked it 😊. My friend is a colour specialist. You can find her on Instagram. If you don't have IG let me know and I'll try and get you in touch with her another way 😊❤️ thanks again. instagram.com/visualiseme?igshid=c5cp9vt9y1u6

[@jillridley1041]

Thank you so much for sharing, you have some great ideas, I particularly like the needle case in the pencil case idea as I can identify with that problem so well 😊

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you - I'm glad that's helpful, and I'm also glad I'm not the only one that gets mixed up 😂 Thank you again 🥰

[@Hide_and_silk]

I enjoyed your tour. A lovely and super well organised sewing space!

[@susanhealey6294]

Loved your video & your tour of your sewing room, you having given me so many good ideas & tips which l will put into my sewing space thank you 😊

[@DevonThreadTales]

Wonderful! That's so great - thank you so much 🥰

[@Zsmitch930]

Love all your videos. Would love to purchase your metallic gold pineapple fabric - if you are looking to rid yourself of it.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Oooooh ok, I shall check to see how much I have left, and let you know. Sorry for replying to this late 😊

[@georgianasstudio]

One suggestion I have that you might find helpful is to find a little bit of wall space to hang a thread rack as it makes it so much easier to review and choose threads. They are fairly cheap on eBay but I really value mine. I have three now because I have the space but I hang them on a peg board which you might also find useful. Even if you could find half a metre to hang up a few things.

[@DevonThreadTales]

Oooohhh I love this idea. Thank you - I shall keep an eye out for these. I have just literally a day ago, bought a peg board that should help with a few things too. Thanks so much for the suggestion. 🥰

[@purple100s]

I really enjoyed your sewing room tour, I have something similar. I have a corner in my dining room. You have a great view though😀.Please where did get the mats you placed your sewing machine /overlocker from?

[@DevonThreadTales]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I bought them from a home wear store, the one I I used was Dunelm, but they sell it in lost places. It's a table protector to place under a decorative tablecloth. Hope that helps. Thanks again 💕

[@purple100s]

Devon Thread Tales Thanks, yes very helpful.

[@lynneprentice4278]

Great tour Angela! You are so neat and organised! I use Trello for my patterns. And am gearing up to start logging my fabrics! As you say, it’s a great App! 😁

[@DevonThreadTales]

It's so great isn't it. I love it. I have a few things I need to update on it, but I find that this is a good way to take stock and re-evalluate what you have. Thank you so much 🥰

[@aturner047]

I leave a scrap of the last fabric I worked with under the needle to jog my memory x

[@DevonThreadTales]

Ahhh that's such a fab idea too. Thank you 🥰

[@dianeculverhouse6979]

Just starting lots of ideas

[@DevonThreadTales]

😊 Thank you xx

[@sherylgamble8853]

Loved your video. Where did you get the wax from to make the wax wraps? I’ve been wanting to make some for a while

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much. I got mine from Make @140, I've had a little look on her website, and I can only see the kits. I bought mine individually. It might be worth messaging her and seeing if she can sell them separately for you. Hope that helps. www.makeat140.co.uk/products/beeswaxfoodwrapdiykit?_pos=3&_sid=1dceb3c2e&_ss=r 🥰

[@sherylgamble8853]

Devon Thread Tales thank you, I’ll have a look!

[@joolzie8198]

Hi Angela, I’m searching for a suitable sewing chair on wheels & remembered seeing this video…..could I ask where your chair is from and if you like it for the purpose of sewing please? I don’t really like the look of a standard operators/office chair as they come in such dark colours that don’t suit my room 😜

[@DevonThreadTales]

Hia, no problem at all, it's a really inexpensive one that I bought from Argos. It is an office chair, but lightweight and no arms, which I find can often get in the way on office chairs. I'm really happy with it, and suits my small little sewing corner. Hope that helps 😊💕

[@joolzie8198]

Thank you Angela, I hadn’t thought of looking at Argos…..I think I may have found something on their website that suits me 😉 best wishes x

[@cecilehoare3053]

What a great use of space and your sewing view is fantastic! You kept mentioning Trello, I don't recall seeing Tamlyn's video on it, what is it? I don't recall ever hearing of it here in Canada. One suggestion, get yourself a label maker and label your boxes! lol If you're like me you will end up pulling them all out before you get the one you wanted in the first place. I love how you set up your pdf patterns, would you do a video on how you have them set up and organized in the folders?

[@DevonThreadTales]

Trello is fab - but if you're not sure how to use it - like I wasn't to start with, it is a good idea to watch a video on how to use it. I'm pretty sure you can use trello anywhere. I once heard them talk about it on the Love To Sew podcast (I think they are from Canada too?!?!? not sure). If not give me a shout and I will see if I can help. Yes no problem. I have a busy month or so ahead, what with getting my daughter back to Uni, but I will do a video on that - that's a great idea for a vlog, thank you🥰 Thank you for your lovely comments ❤️

[@lisam6080]

Great video, I love a nose around other people’s sewing set up 😊 can I ask what the project bags are called on Amazon please? I like that idea

Ha ha - me too! It'a great to see other peoples idea's and set ups! Yes, no problem, they are very useful - here's the link to the ones I bought. Hope that helps. Mine are only A4, but you can get other sizes too - these just work for me. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07H9MNP5Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 🥰

This is lovely! Where did you get those project pouches from? That sounds like such an amazing idea!

[@DevonThreadTales]

You're welcome. They were from amazon. Thank you 😊❤️ www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07H9MNP5Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Great vlog, really interesting. Do you mind if I ask where/how you got your colours done ? 🙂

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you so much. My friend Danielle does it. She is fabulous, she has an Instagram account that you could contact her through. If you don't have Instagram the let me know, and I can try and get you in touch with her 😊. Thank you ❤️ instagram.com/visualiseme?igshid=xbervx59bj4a

I looked for one of those thread guides after seeing yours a while ago but they were sold out everywhere 😞

[@DevonThreadTales]

Ahhhh I'm gutted for you. I've just had a quick search for you, and I can't find one either. I'm so sorry. I hope you have more luck in the future. 🥰❤️

[@halesmoore]

@@DevonThreadTales I'll keep an eye out, they look really handy!

Angela, I have 2 questions :) 1. What size is your cutting mat? 2. Reagarding the gutermann shade card / thread guide: I like the idea of it but what happens when new colours are released by gutermann? We won't have them on the shadecard we bought, so do we need to buy an updated version of the card/booklet? ALSO Side note: does the shade card come with real thread samples or just a painted sample?

[@DevonThreadTales]

Hia, My Matt is a size A0 - it's very large, but makes cutting out much easier! The Gutterman card is really thread, glued down, so it is very accurate. I don't think that you can buy updated thread - or updated books, I'm unsure, however, the variety of the colours on the card are very extensive, and can only imagine you will find the colour you are after. I hope that this helps 😊 Thank you 🥰

So lovely to see your sewing space and love a good nose at other people’s drawers! 😆 Sorry my channel causes you trouble whenever to try to say it, lol, I thought it was easier than my previous Bowtiful Bows and Sew Much More, but apparently it’s not 😉 (love your Orla Kiely blind and cushions by the way) 🥰 😘

[@DevonThreadTales]

Helen I'm so so sorry! I just keep getting my tongue tied. I can't understand why I can't say it, it's so funny! I love your name too 🙈🤣😊❤️. Thank you so much 😊❤️❤️

Ha ha why are other people’s drawers so interesting but they are my sister tells me off for nosing in hers 😂😂😂

[@m1m5yp28]

Just wondered, but do you have a notebook? I always make notes on the things I sew?!?

[@DevonThreadTales]

Thank you - Yes I do have a note book. I keep them in my drawer. I normally jot down my families measurements, and anything that I am unsure about, that I may come across in the future I tend to jot down too. Thank you 🥰

[@nancyschaffer7568]

Did you make your shade at your sewing desk?

[@DevonThreadTales]

I'm afraid not - I made cushions to match, but I got these made at a place called Dunelm 😊
