Sewing Room Makeover Before & After🧵 Cottage Attic Vibes

[@strawberry1025]

Oh Lucy, I am delighted for you. After the unending noise and lack of space, which you bore so gracefully, it is lovely to finally see you and your sewing have such a beautiful, allocated studio. And the safety rail is up!

[@SusanLeeNightingale]

Have you considered wallpapering the ceiling? I think that would look really nice in this space ❤️

[@shellsbellswac1]

Anyone else out there just give a thumbs up before watching? I'm so excited!!!!

[@joshenyou360]

Lucy, your studio is so beautiful. It looks like a calming and tranquil room. I think your idea of lace curtains will look so charming. I have shear white curtains on the 2 windows in my guest room and when the weather permits, I open the windows and absolutely lovely watching the shears blow when a breeze comes by. You, Robbert and all of your friends that have been helping you with your home have worked so hard and it shows. You have taste and style. Love you loads.

[@crowfaerymori2]

You have some talented relatives! Love your grandma's art, your great-grandfather's portrait and the embroidery!

[@amyslingsby6947]

One of my best decisions has been to take over the room above our garage as my studio. I am a multi-crafter so I needed a big table and a lot of storage for a variety of materials. I’m not much of a sewer, but I sew simple things. Never garments. I have a lot of room, but it’s confined by the roof angles. I knew I wanted a slightly silly, colourful, organised chaos, mismatched feel and I wanted the room itself to always be a changing craft project. I LOVE my room! In our kitchen ongoing renovations we repurposed the doors to my studio and they’re the coolest thing ever now.

What a sweet cozy space! I adore your grandmother's painting, such a unique style. And how thrilling to have GGGrandfather watching over you.

That’s so cool about your great-grandfather!!

[@puffmaggie]

i think wallpaper on the wall behind where youre sitting for filming would look great and give more dimension to your background!!

[@ClockworkFaery]

After being give a Vintage Singer machine by a relative they seem to keep finding me & I now have 3! One is a treadle which is amazing. Love your studio. ❤️

[@JenneeB927]

The sewing room is beautiful! You should stalk Bernadette Banner's channel. She sews with that type of sewing machine all the time. I'm sure she has a how to on her channel. So happy for you Lucy!💖

[@1incutheta]

Quite lovely. It suits you perfectly. The exposed beams really was a great idea. It really boosts the charm. I love your grandmother's artwork.

[@MrsBrit1]

The studio looks so cosy! Worth the wait and the work, I think! Also, I have two antique singers and I love them! That's all I use now. I'd love to get a working treadle at some point (I had also bought a table, not realising half the treadle was missing....and I cannot find parts...) but I'm happy enough with the hand crank. I've used them since the summer of 2020, and started out on themaking our masks, a couple clothing items, started some quilts, mended jeans (a 66/99 is great with denim, and can even sew leather, BTW!) and made a few different bags. The only downside is you need to get used to controlling the fabric with 1 hand and you need to stop sewing to remove pins/clips when using them, and they obviously don't have a back stitch, so you either need to spin your fabric around to "back stitch" or just skip it, and I usually skip it with no problem, but I find it's a very soothing kind of machine sewing. Medatative, methodical, purposeful sewing. They're so quiet compared to an electric machine, so great to use in the evenings when you want some peaceful sewing time. Also, the bobbin winders are so fun to use! I love how they're crafted! Just oil everything and clean out any fabric dust bunnies/old oil inside and I'm sure it will work fine.

[@devancarpenter9706]

Lucy!! Everything looks wonderful!! I love watching this space become your own... so happy for you and your new creative room!!

[@ColleenMarble]

It's just so beautiful! If I had designed it myself, I would have ended up with the same room. It's perfect. My sewing room is in our basement. As you said, it's a luxury to even have a dedicated space, and I'm so, so grateful. But our basement is not finished, and my room has no natural light. I have had to be very creative to make a space that is functional and also pleasing to the eye. But I truly long for the day when I can have a space with an open window, regular walls and nice flooring. Oh, and fewer spiders. 🙂

[@ohbaananaa]

I love the paintings by your grandmother and the history behind the calendar! The part about your family in Egyptology is so cool - thank you for sharing !

[@stevezytveld6585]

Congratulations. The studio is amazing. Well done, you. You are going to absolutely fall in love with your hand-crank. During Covid time I got a 1915 hand crank Singer 99K - the level of precision in those machines is mind boggling. Fair warning - the pressure feet is a very deep rabbit hole to fall into (but worth the time - etsy for research, ebay for purchasing). - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@dees3179]

Seconded. I have a singer 15 treadle reverse feed. I’ve not had my electric machine out since I got it. Sews beautifully. And you can get so close to the edges, I love it. Was very lucky mine is cosmetically challenged but mechanically sound, so I just look after it but don’t baby it. Going by thread meterage I’m in multiple kilometres sewn and I’ve only had it since summer.

[@stevezytveld6585]

@@dees3179 And don't forget the 1 mm stitch length... If Stradivarius had built machines, he would have created these beauties.

[@gunnandersen7412]

Nice you received a Singer sewing machine. My mother had one Singer machine. Amazing working, hobby room. I hope you keep it like that for a long time.

[@janusquiamco7128]

It‘s really nice to have your own space for creative projects, and i think you made the right call with the wall treatment. You might need to put a full-length mirror in there for when you do sewing and beauty projects, as well as soundproofing elements to reduce echo. Enjoy your lovely space!

[@ilwens]

Big hug and congratulations on your "very own" and beautiful studio 💖 And seeing your czech wall calender just made my heart melt ❤ (Sending love from Brno 🎇)

[@mizzle8]

Thanks for the update on the railing 🤣🤣 the space looks so lovely, can’t wait for you to start new sewing projects there!

[@emmaRBC]

It looks great! The singer sewing machine is beautiful

[@AbKhaos]

This room actually reminds me of your old room when you had a roommate! I can't tell you how much I watched the tour of that room, or that one video when you talked about your Celtic studies. I loved loved loved the atmosphere of this space and your new studio gives off the same feeling for me - so I can't imagine how good you must feel when it's all yours! Anyway, it's always a delight to spend a little time with you every saturday morning, snuggled up on my couch with a coffee in your company. I wish you so many delightful hours of working on projects in this beautiful room. ✨

[@naturalcambion3747]

Just a thought, not only for your room but also for a video. What about painting a beautiful mural on your walls and ceiling? It can be whatever you want and where and how much you want.

[@fernblahblah]

I have been watching your videos since you were in your parents house and it makes me so so happy and proud to see you with this studio space now! You truly deserve it, congratulations lucy!

[@meadowbird]

What a wonderful space.. looks like a great place to write a book!

[@katrinabaumann9244]

You could use white on white (or with a little bit of color) lace with the same design you were looking for in wallpaper. Then you still get the pattern but it's just on the window.

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

It’s so lovely and peaceful!

[@tammyellison735]

I love the warmth of the beams, and I am also an Ikea freak. I have the same peg board and want a second one. It is a welcoming spot to work, I hope you are inspired.

[@rebeccacuthbertson1271]

Love that you took the time to scrape the paint off the beams. They came out gorgeous!! I have to ask, what color lipstick are you wearing? I love it on you! Absolutely perfect for fall. The whole space is coming along so well. Enjoy it (and your new house in it's entirety) in good health!

Your new space is wonderful and feels inviting. You need to add some soft textures to your walls, ceiling, windows and/or floors to decrease the echoiness in your videos. Sound bounces off hard surfaces. I know you place is a work in progress and you will have more fun with the details. Enjoy.

[@doxiegirl2522]

I’m wondering if it is just second nature for Czechs to be naturally creative? I have several pieces that my great grandmother embroidered along with numerous tattings that my my grandmother did, along with some of her quilts. They were Moravian. My grandfather was Bohemian, and they were both quite amazing yet strong folk. I am an artist (graphic design by trade), but I also dabble in jewelry making and sewing. It has always been the one thing I am best at… creativity.

[@Beautiful31982]

What lipstick are you wearing at the beginning of this video? It's gorgeous! I love your house! It's looking amazing!

[@arianegaley3880]

Congratulations for making this beautiful space, I'm excited to see your next sewing videos in there ! I have a question which is not a judgement, I hope it won't sound like it. In previous videos, you have often expressed your care for sustainability and interest in sustainable lifestyle : with this in mind, why do you choose to shop at Ikea, which is the furniture equivalent of fast fashion (in terms of mass-production, uniformisation of style worldwide, and quality/durability of items), rather than second-hand or sustainable brands ?

[@Loepsie]

Thank you! The answer is manifold, haha :) The first reason is simply that the interior of my home is deeply important to me and Ikea sells the exact style of furniture that makes me (and my husband) comfortable and content. I really love their style of modern classic furniture, and whenever I've tried to find similar styles secondhand or in other stores it's been very difficult. To put it bluntly, my priorities shift when it comes to interior vs. something more fleeting like fashion or household products, and looks and accessibility become more important. The second reason is that we don't have a car/van available to us that's large enough to transport secondhand furniture, which usually needs to be picked up. We did buy some pieces second hand and getting them home was a challenge (and costly), not something we'd have been able to do for all our furniture. Third reason is I think Ikea sells really good stuff at affordable prices. They have furniture & organization solutions for everything. Sustainably, locally made furniture is unfortunately above our budget at the moment, but as far as "fast furniture" goes, imo Ikea is doing really well in regards to sustainability goals and the materials they use. Lastly, when I buy a piece of furniture, I intend to keep it basically forever, lol. I think I've only ever replaced one piece of furniture (a bed) in my entire adult life, and we still have the wood in our garage to re-use. The biggest problem with any fast consumerism industry is the turnover and how quickly people replace their items with something new, using lots of resources and creating mounds of waste. Keeping my Ikea furniture for 20+ years will ultimately be more sustainable than purchasing a new interior, even from sustainable sources, every time a new trend comes around. Of course keeping sustainably made furniture for 20+ years would be best, but that's simply not something I can afford right now. Hope that makes sense! 😁

[@nikedoesthings]

Hii, I'm also looking to furniturize a sewing room, and I saw the high black table you got for cutting fabric. Is that also from IKEA? I'm really looking for something similar or with high legs like that but it's definitely hard to find something relatively cheap. I've recently been to IKEA and looked out for something like that, but no luck thusfar. ( I DID see that arts/crafts table with the readjustable legs you got, but they don't go high enough for a cutting table) I figured I'd just ask you where you got your cutting table. I'm also from the Netherlands, btw and a new subscriber :)

[@Loepsie]

It is from IKEA, but they no longer carry this one :( We got it five years ago. They do have other bar tables though, in the dining section rather than the office section
