TOUR OF MY NEW (TEMPORARY) SEWING SPACE! And what a dressmaker takes on a working month away!

[@Evelyn__Wood]

So how do you like my new backdrop?? And let me know what's in your dream sewing space??

[@sherrythomas3028]

I love it and yes puppy needs a red velvet pillow to lay on.

[@Evelyn__Wood]

She absolutly does right!!

[@EchoamysDoghouse]

I love it! Your table and sewing caddy are so beautiful!

[@Ashbeazil]

Evelyn Wood the lighting is great in here!

[@Evelyn__Wood]

Natural lighting for the first time ever!!! 😄😄😄

[@nancyshaner8548]

Loved seeing your temporary sewing space. I think vintage clothes are so classy, /sophisticated. Sewing for over 50 years I appreciate things being done right and taking time to make it the right way. Always looking for tips and ideas. Also love seeing how other people organize their sewing spaces.

[@gericb4181]

Ihat is a really lovely space to work in, I have spent my entire life doing embroidery, and other non-dress making sewing projects. I've just bought my first sewing machine to finish off sewing my quilt layers together (having spent a year sewing all the pieces together by hand). I instantly fell in love with my sewing machine and thought I'd try learning dress-making which gladly has led me to you! I don't know what most of your equipment is for but I'm going to persevere!

[@602redroses]

I would love to see your space at home too and your stash. The sewing box and table is gorgeous! I think you did great planning and staging for your new space. I love vintage touches in my space.

[@Evelyn__Wood]

Aww thankyou! I think the decoration is key in making it 'yours' and that special place you love to be in!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Oh, my stash is sooo big..I do not reveal where all of it is much less how much I have. That is secret.

[@tessalina]

I VOTE YES - I would love to see your regular space. ^_^ As for me... I finally have my own office/yoga nook/creation station space! In the front area of my room I have a yoga mat rolled out and a shelf for props. Adjacent to that I have a large cabinet to hold fabric, notions, camera equipment, and other random items (aka whatever I can fit in there). I have a book shelf next to that cabinet and it is filled with my favorite books. After that area, there is a large L-shaped desk so that my computer, stationary, and office stuff is on one side and the other has my sewing machine (permanently) set up. Against the wall which is next to/behind the desk is a smaller book shelf with random tech gear and UFOs, and sitting on top are my knitting stash cubbies and goodies. I love this space - it is so lovely to be surrounded by all the things that inspire me daily. :) BE well, Tessalina

[@violetsidhe]

Your temporary sewing space is lovely and so organised. One day I will have a sewing space so I don’t have to keep clearing the dining room table.

[@michelleeveille4435]

I am very Lucky since my husband created for me 4 levels of pale grey shelves all along one wall in the bedroom which was our son's when he was a child. So I have plenty of space for my vintage wicker cases and boxes full of laces threads buttons and fabrics. I can organise different places for sewing, embroidering and knitting with a great number of vintage books and magazines. I keep my patterns in cardboard filing cases that I covered with flowered wallpaper and I also display vintage measure tapes and sewing objects, vintage alarm clocks, vintage embroideresses'cushions, all the things I find in different "vide greniers". I would be glad to see your new definitive working space, I'm sure it will be very cosy !

[@Evelyn__Wood]

Oh space sounds beautiful!!!

[@jmlane5156]

Thank you for another terrific video! I too would love to see your regular sewing space when you return home. I’d be particularly interested in seeing your cutting table. I have to make one for myself ASAP because using mats on my dining table is a literal pain in my back! I was thinking of an IKEA hack using Kallax units on casters with a countertop cut to fit. That way I can add my oversized mats for cutting and switch out to a padded surface for ironing (I don’t make clothes, I make decorative pillow covers and throws so I need a surface big enough to fit 54” wide fabric).

[@panacheluxury4262]

Evelyn, you will have to do a video series on your sewing stash. I know what you are talking about how it will take an eternity to share it all, because I have and am facing the same dilemma. Your new sewing space is lovely and spacious. I did a video a little while ago on my sewing-sitting room, which was a lot of fun to do. Your gentleman friend did a wonderful job on the sewing basket and treadle stand. Thank him for all of us and me personally for saving such amazing vintage relics.

[@oskarmolly]

I would love to see your sewing space. I use a corner in my living room because I have a beautiful view of the ocean and to be able to look out at the water while I'm sewing is so peaceful, and in the summer I not only have a view of the water I also can see the midnight sun.

[@type2280303]

That sewing box is absolutely stunning !! I absolutely love that. You do deserve it for your great work.

[@maryraab9066]

I'm glad you're safe! I hope that your home hasn't been damaged and that you will be able to return to it in good time. Your new space is fantastic! You're sewing box is beautiful! You have a very talented man in your life! We're all looking forward to your new videos. :)

[@deniseblanchard2156]

Love your space! The sewing table top and sewing box your significant other made for you are both incredible!!!!!

[@WerewolfStyleGuide]

The scissors drawer!!!😍

Love your 'home away from home' sewing space! And, that box and the Singer table? Oh, my goodness, gorgeous work done there.

[@chellekeogh1605]

We’d be crazy not to want to see your home sewing space. Love the temporary one as well. So glad to see the beach pyjamas having a holiday too.😂💕

[@ghr2ghr2]

Say the video of you refashioning your blouse. See you found a tie to use instead of the white. Looks great on you. Your space looks great. At 73, I decided to take up sewing again. I sewed in my 20’s but never mastered the skill. Currently, I am sewing masks, blankets, repairs, etc. I have taken blue jeans and refashioned them into skirts for others. I have trouble with straight stitching. Your video hints are helping tremendously in my renewed enjoyment of sewing. How much is you school? I would like to refashion items. I look forward to looking at all your videos!

[@ginduf]

it's a beautiful space! i've heard the fabric scraps called ''cabbage'', bernadette banner, another historic seemstress/youtuber said that the term dated from the 17 century (her expertise is from around that era).

[@Evelyn__Wood]

Yes, that is a historical name for all the fabric scraps!

[@louiselill1528]

Yes I now call mine cabbage too

[@girliemartinez3478]

My mom and grandma used to own that vintage singer machine. Love that vintage style ❤️.

[@maureencullen1008]

That was lovely.Your table and sewing box are gorgeous. I'd love to see your sewing space when you get home.

[@debe8890]

Wonderful space. You are fortunate to be able to have a space to do you work while away.

[@A.B.C.1.2.3.]

Lovely as always. Yes Ms Evelyn, please do a home sewing space tour! I have been thrifting quite a collection of vintage sewing supplies and I'm struggling with organizing it all. If I don't find solutions I will have to stop thrifting 😫 the horror!

[@MiljaHahto]

Luckily I don't have to envy you beautiful box - as I have inherited my grandmas box. It stands on it's ow feet - and it came with all the buttons grandma had collected! She was born in 1904, lived through harsh times (if you think was in England was bad, it was worse in Finland - no supply from US...) and thus she saved for example buttons from the worn-outclothing she used for mats. All the kids in the family have played with the button boxes... Only recently have I realised I might get to use even the old-fashioned ones!

[@elainescott6537]

Love your "new" space! I am one of your vintage school ladies and have to say that I am so happy I joined. The content of your lessons inspire and encourage me!

[@Evelyn__Wood]

Awww Elaine I'm so happy to have as a member of Vintage Sewing School! You also inspire me with your enthusiasm for learning! And not new space for you, you've seen it before!! ❤

[@MiljaHahto]

Wonderful! And of course we want a tour in your ordinary space as well!

[@linda.brotherton1689]

I almost have my dream sewing space. I have a huge cutting table with rotering cutter and board. My husband bought me 2 cabinets with 4 clear drawers each they are under the table top easy to get to. I have saddle bag made out out old blue bean tops. I have it on my bedside table lots of pockets for my tools I bring it to the activity room to sew with friends. My most loved tool 😂 is my tablet pillow pad, I use it as a pin and needle cushion while I sew the dementia aprons watching you.

[@guineverecassidy4855]

Totally love your Singer table and sewing box. Beautifully restored!!!

[@kaugusta1]

Thank you for the tour! Your gifts are beautiful - I really love that table base. And the little towel lining your shears drawer is very nice, too. And I can't forget to mention your adorable puppy :)

[@nanastevens4094]

Wish my permanent space looked as good as your temporary space. I love vintage items over new. Your sewing box is amazing, what a treasure. Very lucky lady, those are obviously labors of love. I would enjoy seeing your home space and destash videos.

[@tammie7504]

Evelyn, I'd for one, woud love to see your home studio and stash lol! I started out learning to quilt 1.5 yrs ago...newbie! Still will make baby quilts/throws for gifts...nothing larger lol! (I have a lot of quilting cotton stash already! Hoping I can use some of that for sewing.) I joined the Vintage Sewing School online a couple of weeks ago and love it, also, your KZbin videos. I play them and hear you say things in different videos (also "rewind" if I don't understand or miss something) time again and it is sinking in....if I were physically in a class, taking notes,....I'd be a failure. I love this format for learning! See it, hear it, ..MANY times, and eventually, do it!! I also appreciate that you DO answer questions in class! I am STILL having difficulty with organization, your space is so uncluttered.. Would also like to see the Destash.....Maybe that, too would help with my organization. I heard you say something about an uncluttered space leaves your mind uncluttered. leaving it free to create...something to that effect! :) LOVE your custom sewing box/table your friend made for you! Thank you so much for your wonderful KZbin videos, the online sewing course and of course...your wonderful, uplifting, encouraging personality! Lengthy comment, I know, just so excited about this new journey I'm embarking on!

[@attilathehen1555]

Your box is amazing; so beautiful! I have my mother’s box in that shape but it is just plain wood. My father made me a sewing box when I was a child and a few years ago, I custom painted it pale blue with white panels and pink rosebuds. So lovely to use. I really ought to use Mum’s too.

[@Evelyn__Wood]

You should! This one started out just plain too!

[@nicolerossi5499]

I saw another video before I saw this and couldn’t keep my eyes off that “backdrop”❤️ It’s nice as a beginner to hear you say “well we will see how this goes” with the minimal supplies. It makes the barriers I face seem more reasonable.

[@samwright8599]

love your space

[@deannastevens1217]

I haven't quite worked out why you're away from home... But that space is Beautiful! Your table and the box are amazing. Your friend does great work. I'm jealous of such a clean and organized space. I have had the 2 car garage as my sewing/crafting studio since we moved here. But it is so loaded with stuff now (95% sewing of course) that it's crowded. I finally got cupboards (someone was remodeling their kitchen. But it still is messy. I had to move everything to help a family out who had no place to live... and I haven't quite gotten everything even back into even the mess it was before. UGH. I am Jealous of your organizational skills. Your space is Beautiful. You are so Lovely. Thank you for a great video.

[@thesilverbeepbopboop]

Yes Yes Yes to a stash and downscale tour. Love that sewing box. What a lovely space.

[@davederrick9431]

Hi Evelyn, I love your site and yes! I would love to see your perment studio. I'm also happy you include men in your introduction, as an old guy who started sewing 43 years ago, to cloth my children. I made my daughters wedding dress and still sew for her, including alterations to her op-shop buys.

[@lindabrown7374]

Yes, please do a sewing room tour! I love seeing what other people do with their rooms. The table and sewing box are beautiful! And yes, Esmay should have a red velvet pillow. My sewing room has lots of natural light. 2 windows on one wall and stained glass above the front 3 windows. My cutting table is a metal drafting table. Perfect height for cutting without getting a backache. My treasures are my reproduction sewing advertisement tin signs. Your temporary room is lovely. I need a bigger room.

[@deninevh]

Beautiful beautiful gifts from your friend! I have a feeling you're going to be making someone a luxurious pair of lounging pajamas with matching robe/jacket soon. :-)

Hoping I can look at that vine springtime.

Love your new sewing space. I have relocated and am trying to set up a dedicated studio. Its taken alot longer than anticipated, due to other nonsense getting in the way. In the past I've made due , but now I'm doing it well. Hence the delay. Space is an issue since I've purchased yet another machine(now 4). Lol. And the stash has grown significantly. Did the kon mari de-stash b4 the relocation so it's all good stuff & all sorted. It looks gorgeous and is a pleasure to use. A lovely place to be creative in. I would love to see you de-stash , see the process. Have fun in your new space.

Very satisfying tour. I’m glad you have the garden. For me, as well, the window is important. My drawers are so much like yours. Of course, I was watching your videos while I set them up.
