I gave my sewing room a makeover and I love it!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Tetris is the PERFECT name for sewing room design. Now add an 8 ft long arm…I have a path all the way around my long arm. I do have a big cutting table that I can raise and lower like your desk. Depending on what I am creating I can put an additional sewing machine on it. I congratulate you on re-designing your space. Very nice and sunny. The best!❤ Update: Always put casters on every piece you can in your sewing room. We always find it easier to re-arrange to fit our ever changing needs. Once we figure it out for efficiency…we are good. Until the next time. Change is good. Love, love this video.

[@solarwinds-]

Ahhh! You have a sewing room ... simply to die!!! Very nice. BTW, your little 4 legged friend was really cute.

[@lana7422]

In order to organize things that have gotten out of hand, I do two things: First, I pretend this is not my stuff and I'm organizing for someone else and badly want their stamp of approval on my organizing skills. Second, I set aside time, but not too much time, and then really go at it without thinking much about anything else...just how to store/keep/organize things in a way that they are most usable and easy to put back when I am finished with them.

[@bernadettehooper4318]

Great process. Grat results. No matter the size of your sewing room or if you sew sew in a multi-purpose room, this was inspirational.

[@PatternScout]

I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@spunkybuggandco.]

Peg boards are such a game changer!! I bet a taller table helps with sewing. I'm always hunched over my machine.

[@PatternScout]

They really are! Such a perfect solution for the tiny tools and notions.

[@cathyclark5791]

Your dog is so cute! He just is oblivious to being in your way. I love the color of your sewing room walls..

[@PatternScout]

He just wants to be in the mix 😂 I can't be mad--he's too cute and sweet! I love that color too, it was painted that way when we moved in.

[@1Ladybuilder]

The wall color is VERY close to Sherwin Williams “Quietude”, which is the same color I painted my office/ studio. 17 years later, I STILL love it!,

[@MrsKervang]

My work has a flex desk. You will love it and never go back to an ordinary desk. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jmfred2726]

Wonderful job on the new setup! Inspired me to tackle my guest bedroom into a dream sewing studio (from items on hand). 60yrs sewing and never had a dedicated space this large before! Floor plan in the making today. Thanks!

[@PatternScout]

Yay! Best of luck with your dream studio! :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@ponderrosie4975]

I have three questions. How do you keep your thread from being dusty and hurting your machines? I was taught to keep my threads in a closed hutch or drawer. I see more and more makeovers with thread being left out on stands. Very curious if you make covers for them or dust your thread or ... And during the video you had a terrific tripod system that would be ideal for me as I try to make drapes, etc. Those would make wresting with off grain handkerchief linen and .so many other tasks so much easier. I don't see it listed. I have been using a self created pvc pipe system and it is so limited! I would love to use what you have/had.

[@PatternScout]

I haven't had too much of an issue with the thread getting super dusty, but I just wipe them off if they do :) I bought the tripod system on amazon...if you search for "photography backdrop" you can find several options that are similar. Hope that is helpful!

[@janomalley]

I thoroughly enjoyed your makeover - great job!

[@hollyt1673]

It looks so much better with space. You might need a table lamp on your sewing section so you see stitches better.

[@PatternScout]

Agreed! Just getting that desk out of the window makes the room feel huge in comparison to before! I have some overhead lights that I hung up for filming/sewing that provide a ton of light (you can see them in some of the footage).

[@wlmcfarl]

Watching you organize your space while I sew a Lulu cardigan😃

[@PatternScout]

Aw yay! So glad, and thank you for making it! :)

[@JozieLeePro]

Excellent makeover. Especially impressed w/new desk and peg boards. Best wishes.

[@nitap77]

I am in the process of cleaning and rearranging my sewing/quilting room. I know exactly the overwhelming feeling. You have given me some wonderful ideas. 👍 I want to start a KZbin channel, my first video will be the grand reveal of my space. I will definitely give you a shout-out.

[@homebodyheaven6114]

I’m dreading organizing my studio. Seed planted. 😊

[@vickithompson1840]

Wow you’ve done an amazing job it looks fab and so much bigger. I’ve got the pegboards and I love them.I don’t think you can ever go far wrong with ikea for lots of things. But the star of the show is the desk, that’s really going to make a difference for you. There’s nothing better than a good sort, I find it really cathartic 🤗🤗🤗

[@PatternScout]

Thabks, Vicki! Those pegboard are so nice. And ikea has so many great things for organizing, so much inspiration. The desk is a game changer! I feel so cool being able to press that button 😎

[@CarlaSims2830]

Great job!

[@daniellefike]

Ahh, it looks amazing! I gasped when you put the needles on the hooks on the peg board, I love that detail! Reorganizing is such an intimidating project, this is great inspiration to tackle it, though.

[@PatternScout]

Thanks, Danielle! When I realized I could hang all my needles on the peg board hooks, my immediate thought was "WORTH IT!" 😂 Those things get so disorganized! SO glad this room is done!

[@thegirlwithdustonherface]

Yes, Casey, what a difference and it does look more open and sleek! Now, if only Nippies would take a clue from Flexi Spot!!! Have a great week and a Merry Happy Christmas!!

[@PatternScout]

Bahahaha! Nippies, where you at!? Seriously. 😂 Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

[@unichan5]

Enjoy watching all of your videos, but these types are videos are the best! You are so real, still kind of a rarity on the net. When I saw that you moved the white shelf next to the window, I kept thinking that it looked like it was supposed to be there from the start. This gives me motivation to start on my own sewing area, which has piles of pre-washed fabric all over the place 🙈 Thanks for sharing as always!

[@PatternScout]

Oh, I am so glad you like these! I enjoy making them and sharing my creative spirals! haha. All my fabric was starting to pile up, too. It was time to get it all in order!

[@oscar6443]

The room looks lovely, it’s a shame that we have to mess them up by dragging out fabrics and bits and bobs that we need to use to make are garments, but ha ho it has to be done. I lost my Maltese dog nearly 2 years ago, he too use to love to sit or stand on fabric that was on the floor. Love to see more of your furry helper … love to see more of the 🐕

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! I know, I'm wondering how long I can keep my fabric in order haha. And my little helper is so sweet (I secretly love it when he tries to get in on the project :) ). He is usually not too far away!

[@daxxydog5777]

Reorganizing is so satisfying! I love the new mirror, and if I had the space (my sewing room is my guest room as well), that table would be awesome. Maybe one day! I had to go back and check for your old Kenmore to make sure it was still there. It’s always good to have a backup machine, in case the main one needs repair. Those vintage machines are becoming more desirable since they’re so much better made than modern machines. I’d like to see a mini “tour” of it one day 😊

[@PatternScout]

It really is! Makes me feel like I got a new room! And I really love having that Kenmore around. I wish I could say that I used it more. It is so well-made and still works great! But it's not quite as precise as my Pfaff. One day I really should give it a little tribute here on the channel!

[@analuisamom]

I liked how you organized it.... It is good to create a new environment in the same space.... Looks so professional

[@PatternScout]

Thanks! I really tried to use mostly what I had and I'm amazed at how much just moving things around can make it all feel totally new!

[@cindypeterson1629]

Your sewing room looks so well organized and beautiful. I bet it’s going to be a much happier place to create in.

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! It is so much better organized now for sure. Excited to make lots of cool stuff in there!

[@claireedelman5414]

Wow it looks great! Looks like it doubled in size

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! It feels so big now! Amazing what a little rearranging can do!

[@kettokoboo]

I'm a beginner in sewing and also I'm an English learner. I learn both sewing and English through your videos. So... thank you!

[@PatternScout]

That's so great!! Thanks for watching! :)

[@sunnybnny]

Love the new layout and how you organized everything! It looks so much bigger. Being able to walk all the way around the cutting table is gold!

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! It really feels huge in there now! haha.

[@deerpark]

We need more Maxi the dog videos!!

[@PatternScout]

Aw, yes you are right: he needs more screen time! :)

[@doowopshopgal]

A pleasure to work in I bet!!!!

[@PatternScout]

For sure!! :)

[@Escape10mom]

Great job! I too have my cutting table in the middle of the room. I need to declutter my stuff again!

[@PatternScout]

Thanks!! It makes so much sense to have it there. I think it will really help my workflow!

[@rosey_ie]

Great job Casey 💪🏻

[@PatternScout]

Thanks!! :)

[@rachellockley260]

Hi Casey your room looks ace, really calm and organised. I like the versatility of your table on castors. You're very connected to your wardrobe because it's in your sewing room, I really like that. Stops you making loads of bulk that you possibly won't wear much - I think it's a great idea 👍

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! My sewing room kinda does double duty as wardrobe storage so it really does make me feel more connected to it!

[@rebeccaw9656]

Looks great, and super functional. All that space and natural light - yessss!

[@PatternScout]

Yesss! So happy with the new layout--feels like a totally new space!

[@vicki9298]

I want you to know that you have truly inspired me. Oh Casey, your room is so perfect!! I know you think I am late responding but truth is that I have watched this video 2-3 times, trying to see what all I can work into my room!! I really enjoy ALL of your videos

[@PatternScout]

Aw thank you so much, Vicki! That means a lot to me and I am glad you enjoyed seeing the process!

[@vickipatridge5094]

Love your new sewing space.

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!

[@helenwood3199]

Consider adding more foam or batting to the seat before recovering.

[@awishtostitch1543]

You did such a fantastic job of reorganising! The room looks so spacious and easy to move around in! The Flexidesk is so awesome, I love that you can use it to extend your existing table! Seeing you put things on that peg board was so satisfying! 😍 I currently sew in my kitchen/dining area (my kitchen island bench is like your cutting table - hip height and I can walk around it) but I will be keeping this in mind if I ever have a dedicated sewing room! 👍 Enjoy your new space ☺️

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! The peg boards were a game changer for me--being able to get all the little things off the tables feels so nice.

[@LizzlebyDesign]

Casey- you did an amazing job!! Love the layout- especially 360 access for fabric cutting!!

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! That table is going to work so much better for me!

[@morganwood1]

Love it! I got the Skadis pegboard and it’s fab… question though… what threadholder did you use and how did you attach it?

[@georgiaocianain1683]

Just loved seeing this space come together so beautifully for you - you deserve it!

[@PatternScout]

Aw thank you so much! I love how it turned out!

[@Sarah_Naomi]

Bravo! What a great refresh of your creative space for the new year!

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! Excited to sew in here :)

[@michellemabelle100]

Great job, and I love the positioning of the desk and cutting table! The whole room looks beautiful. :)

[@PatternScout]

Thank you, Michelle! The room feels so much lighter and bigger, can't wait to get some fun projects going in there!

[@juanitar.miller5210]

Your video inspired me to rearrange my sewing area; thank you, so much!

[@pinky_t7061]

You did a fabulous job on this room- it looks amazing! I bet it feels better, too.

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! Yes, so much better :)

[@peggykelly1876]

Great job! What a nice looking, functional space

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! Can't wait to get in here and sew!

[@georgyporgy5539]

Wow! What a difference, I really ❤ it

[@barbhuber7502]

Your sewing room looks great! You have inspired mr to tackle mine….it sure needs it. I’m also going to take a look at those peg boards at IKEA. I am constantly searching for a lot of those items you have put on yours and you’re right, it brightens up that wall.

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! I've been considering the peg boards for so long--they really do help with keeping things organized, handy, and off the tables 🙌

[@marycooksey2886]

Nicely reorganized! I’d be interested to see the electric lighting you have for your sewing and cutting areas. That’s been the hardest part to get right in my sewing room. Thanks!

[@PatternScout]

Thanks! I currently have two large paper lanterns above my sewing area with really bright bulbs that provide a ton of light in the space (the lanterns help diffuse the light so it isn't like a spotlight). I need to reposition them now that things are in different spots in the room.

[@marycooksey2886]

Good idea. I like it bright but no shadows. Are they on a track or individual plugs? I love the IKEA Skädis system. They used to have wire magazine holders that are perfect for pattern envelopes but seem to only have the wire basket now. I had to get a few extra from Amazon sellers.

[@glendavizecky7581]

Your sewing room is beautiful and so organized! The Flexi Desk is great. You inspired me to clean up my space! After Christmas! Happy Holidays! Thank you for all your videos

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! Yes, save it for after the holidays haha...I STILL haven't put up my christmas decorations and have some gift shopping to do haha. This room project took alllll my energy and time this week! 😅 Hope you have a great holiday!

[@emilasmith4279]

Simply lovely! ❤

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!

[@kaygee4691]

Wonderful job!

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!

[@vernakg]

That table..... Yes, 👍

[@PatternScout]

It's seriously amazing!

[@Angie29449]

LOVE the new space layout! Great job.

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!

[@jackiegenandt6661]

Looks so good!!!!

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!

[@gergemall]

So functional

[@Floridiansince94]

Beautiful Space! Happy New Year! The equipment next to your sewing machine- could you have a show on it and if it is a must to have? Thank you!

[@carolannbolinger3795]

You did a beautiful job job

[@ourbluedoorhome4566]

It looks great!!

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!!

[@courtneygregg8335]

Looks more practical and has better flow! I’d add locking wheels to your center table to add even more flexibility, but as a painter I’m mad for furniture with wheels. I put them on everything I possibly can! Happy sewing! Looks like you’ll have a creativity burst!

[@PatternScout]

Much better flow!And yes to casters! I was actually looking at some, but they were all to wide to attach to the bottom of the legs.

[@grettahurst1039]

My end of year plans include a reset of my sewing room… Thanks! I will check out the Flex Desk too ! 😊

[@faithmathingsdal79]

Love everything! So good. Enjoy your new space 🎉🎉🎉

[@PatternScout]

Thank you, Faith!! Very excited to sew and film in the new room!

[@lynetterene]

Great job..... I'm glad you were able to set it up the way you need it😊

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! :)

[@silverluna8835]

Love it!

[@PatternScout]

Thanks!

[@pavlal.4552]

Look really great 👍

[@Lobstrique]

that desk is sooo cool! love the new overall layout :) i love organizing but it really is ridiculously overwhelming 😂 especially when you aim at learning from your experience of using the space and making it more functional amazing job, thank you so much for sharing :)

[@jennieg789]

Love it! I will be renovating my basement next summer and I am designing the laundry room to have a space for my sewing.

[@PatternScout]

Thanks! Good luck with your new sewing space! :)

[@shellylemons]

Love this!!

[@PatternScout]

Thanks!

[@bunnyemartins7756]

Love the new configuration and the desk!

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!

[@Lorenzo-hu7fh]

so amazing!!! wish I have a sewing room like that... but also love that vintage sewing cabinet!!!!!!! does it also have a machine inside?🤩🤩🤩 only asking because I sew on vintage sewing machines 😂😂

[@dlg1603]

I'm looking for a cutting table that's not too big. Do you think the Flexitable could work as a cutting table? I already have a sewing table and a desk in my office and don't have space for a larger table. I've been cutting my fabric on the dining room table, but I'm getting back pain from being hunched over it 😢 It also leaves a mess in my dining room for days ...

[@PatternScout]

The flexispot table is super sturdy and it's so nice to be able to raise and lower it to preference. You would need a cutting mat if using a rotary cutter, but I think it would make a great cutting table.

[@PreshKidd1887]

The new layout looks so much better. Also I LOVE the color of your walls!

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!! The color is "Mountain Stream" by PPG paint :)

[@amysheridan4496]

It looks amazing! Nice job 👍

[@PatternScout]

Thank you!

[@edmoore7945]

Hi Casey, great job! Merry Christmas🎄

[@PatternScout]

Thank you, Grams! :) Merry Christmas, sending lots of love!

[@cathymikequimbyquimby7315]

Very nice and so pretty! What is the color on your walls? I love it.

[@denisedorsey2889]

So nice, Casey! Now for the really hard part…keeping it tidy, lol. Where do you store your machines when not in use? I find mine get heavier and heavier as time goes on. 😂. I try not to move them, but since I sew at my kitchen table, it’s inevitable.

[@PatternScout]

Ain't that the truth! haha :) I am basically forcing myself to keep the tabletops clear...we'll see how it goes. But everything has a place now! I'll but the machines on the floor under the table when I need the table clear (that's what I did when I used my other table for sewing and cutting).

[@allinsonsherratt418]

Is your dog a closet cat ? - it was trying to be very helpful by getting in the way. Just like a cat 😄 Love how you've reorganized your room. That Flexi desk is awesome. Shame I'm in England. The peg board looks good too. It's better to roll jumpers rather than folding them - less creases.

[@PatternScout]

We actually have nicknamed him "CatDog" 😹 He is very cat-like! Thanks for watching! And for the jumper tip :)

[@kathleenthompson3676]

Your puppy just wants to help. lol

[@PatternScout]

He really does! :)

[@zandeehdz1]

It's great to see an adjustable desk on a craft room. I have been tempted to get one but only saw them used on office rooms. Do you have to take your sewing machines off the desk if you want to change the height?

[@PatternScout]

Yes, I just put them under the table area when I need to move it or raise it :)

[@RobinWatts-k5m]

Is the size of your table and cutting pad matching a coincidence? What are the measurements?

[@bridgetolsen3700]

This room would be a dream! I have a question. I have never thought of a standing desk for sewing. If you are standing, is the cord long enough to have the pedal on the floor? I always imagined it was too short.

[@PatternScout]

I actually don't sew standing up and I think the cord might be too short. I just use the standing height for cutting and piecing the pattern pieces.

[@helenlorah43]

Great Video! Is the Skadis pegboard holding up? Do the pegs stay in the board? When pulling scissors off does the metal stay on the board? Thank you so much for the video.

[@syreetabriana]

Omg! I literally was on this site yesterday looking at the sewing desk and the e7! Curious on how you decided to get the e7.

[@PatternScout]

I was too before they reached out--couldn't believe it. I definitely wanted one of these desks! haha. They offered the E7 (which was the one I wanted anyway). The ones with drawers also look awesome!

[@suelambrix]

How are you liking the color of your room? We are building a house and I’m looking for a color for my sewing room

[@mellymel1100]

I love it! Your room looks great for working. Where do you keep your rotary tools? Or do you use those for clothing?

[@PatternScout]

Thanks! I keep them on the pegboard.

[@Threadystitchsew]

Am just wondering what is the height dimensions, width and the length of your cutting table, because I got a cutting table buts it’s tall for me in the length

[@lifewithchioma]

I just stumbled on your channel and I am now on my second video. Your space is so lovely! Can you please share where you got your tripod with the overhead extension boom arm?

[@PatternScout]

Thank you! I found the tripod at a thrift store (I always see tripods at thrift stores!) and I purchased the boom arm on B&H photo and video (I think this is the one: bit.ly/3FGnILq).

[@lifewithchioma]

@@PatternScout Thank you so much.

[@debbiemurphy5050]

Can you post a link to your pegboard? It seems different than the ones I have been looking at and I like yours very much

[@PatternScout]

I've put links to products I mentioned in the description :)

[@sharon1934]

Looks like you may have blocked a fuse box or cable access door with shelf you moved into closet.

Woooo!!! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
