Was anyone else taking notes? I would be totally prepared if there was a pop quiz lol. This entire video is sprinkled with a ton of little golden nuggets that pretty much anyone can apply to whatever space they are creating in. Plus you can see that this space actually functions with real world applications, and isn't the usual 'pristine pinterest sewing room' tour🙄 This was a lovely video to watch and thank you for sharing! ❤

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Sewing "space"? I'd call it a Sewing Kingdom! Perfect for the sewing Queen! Sure wish I had one as large and organized as yours, Laura! Enjoy and thank you for sharing! 🌹

[@lamorexris3941]

Hi Dori

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Beautiful. Great job. I used the bedroom in my apt as a sewing room and I love it too. I dont have as much stuff as you, but as im old, it is still probably going to outlive me!😄

[@lucindaschafer]

I love how you have a realistic sewing room instead of one that looks prettier than it functions. You have given me so many great ideas for my space. 💕

[@denisebureau8352]

Congratulations you have a fantastic sewing room !

[@yvonnepflanitzer777]

Now and than I have to see your Video to remember how to organice my space. It reminds me what is funcional and pretty. Thank you. Greetings from Vienna, Austria.

[@s.oldfield5982]

I always appreciate your practical adaptations, using found or re-purposed objects.

[@walternicolas6927]

Hello how are you doing today ❤

[@joyceouellette7360]

Dear Laura-thank You for this lesson in ergonomics. I was sewing all day last week and woke up with a shooting pain in my neck and was worried. I went down to my sewing area after your video and saw that my sewing machine is too high for my chair (I don’t have 90 degree angle with shoulders and elbows. I will be replacing my chair with an adjustable one and planning my sewing room changes with the principles you taught me.

[@jojosewist8921]

Joyce, I have been having trouble with back and R leg. Wonder if chair too low or high, will check on that tomorrow. Thanks for info, and suggestion.

[@cjsews]

Laura, thank you for sharing. After I lost my husband I moved by my kids to Portland, Oregon, no basements in this area. So I searched for a home with living room open to dining room , it’s my dream sewing studio. Since I have a separate kitchen open to family room I’m all set. I used PVC too! You shared many great ideas, thank you. You are my sewing angel!

[@patstutzman7506]

I recently lost my husband and are readapting my home for me and the family room will be my new sewing space. Wonderful ideas to work from. Now to use them!

[@rahimahaman4126]

Wow such a great sewing space you have. Very professionally done at the same time very relaxing environment. Good idea to use pvc pipes to raise the cabinets to suit your needs. God bless and thank you for sharing your special place for us to enjoy

[@nellybranda6314]

Thank you very much for showing us your sewing studio. Greeting from Argentina!

[@renabartlett2514]

I absolutely love the organization. I am in the process of gutting the house next door and making it my new sewing studio. I will have to post updates as we go along. Please don't replace the couch. Find someone to replace the springs or put boards under there. Your couch adds so much charm to your space.

[@lamorexris3941]

Hi Rena

[@lynneschultz316]

You put so much thought into each “station”-I watched in amazement. I am so happy for you. Thanks for sharing all your great solutions. I’m going to store the manuals on the side of my new sewing table like you did. 🌹And Your touches of red, black, and white in your dove gray room did not go unnoticed!

[@lamorexris3941]

Hi, how are you doing my friend?

[@lisabousson]

I’m short too and find rubber tongs a great way to reach spools of thread that are out of reach.

[@nancybenson1951]

I love that you used everything you already had and didn’t’ go for a “complete” makeover. And reusing and repurposing even the spools. 👍🏻💕

[@amendez6358]

What a fantastic sewing room, she said, as she dashed upstairs to hang up all her measuring tapes. 😘

[@cheryl8280]

LindaH-65 LOLOL Love you comment. Did you know that cloth or even plasticized tape measurers will stretch over time? Where once you had 3", it's now 3 1/8". No fun when you've mis-measured. Ask me how I know! Happy sewing!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

that is good to know, thank you

A retractable measuring tape is so handy! I hang all my non-retractable measuring tapes for decorative purposes only.

Hi! I absolutely love you!!! I wish we could be friends in person bc I began sewing at age 9 and feel a heart-connection with you and your passion. You are beautiful, graceful, loving, passionate about life and sewing, and interesting. I trust what you teach because you are so knowledgeable and yet humble, qualities not found in all teachers. Thanks so much for all you share, including this growth and the evolution...upgrades to your AMAZING spaces!!! Congratulations! You deserve it! Much love and appreciation! Jinn A. Dallas County, TX

It's a lovely and functional space and I love the old machines - I learned on a treadle back in the early 50s that was my grandmother's. And I was given a 3-tier version of that sewing box that folds out, I think around 1962. It's been through several refurbishing rounds and I still use it today!

Hi Kim

[@marybarratt2649]

I would exchange the couch for a bed and live in there. What a fabulous space you have to craft in. You are so lucky in the States to have big rooms and basements. I’m very envious. You are extremely well organised. I can identify with your early sewing space days and we all progress from that. Lots of hints and tips, so tku for those.

[@nammyg7052]

It looks great. I got a lot of ideas from you. Thank you. 😊🇨🇦

[@ChristineKrannich]

Oh, Laura, it’s wonderful! Your personality shines through in the organization. The thoughtfulness and intention behind every decision are clear. Thank you for sharing it with us via a tour. It’s a great work space. You definitely have worked hard to be able to have it just the way you want with room to grow. I hope you enjoy many years of creative endeavors in that space.

[@jojosewist8921]

Christine, and willingness to share it with us. I have only been a subscriber a short while but have learned so much.

[@lamorexris3941]

Hello, how are you doing my friend

[@ccpperrett7522]

Great video Laura! I loved the tour of your new sewing room. You have given us so many good and practical ideas. I love the story of the evolution and history of your sewing path. My father bought my mother a beautiful Singer sewing machine and cabinet when I was just a baby. That is 60+ years ago now. My sisters and I learned to sew on that faithful machine. I think each of us would like to inherit that machine one day. I purchased a White treadle sewing machine when I was visiting in Chicago for $35. The people were hapoy to get rid of it. I was thrilled with such a treasure. I hauled it in the bed of a pickup truck all the way to Alaska, so I could sew without electricity. I sewed lots of baby clothes for my daughter with that beautiful machine. Thank you for sharing your life and stories with us.

[@teresalowry6340]

How beautiful! Most of my life since I've been married I've sewn from the dining room table clearing it only when company was coming. Now that my daughters are married and our nest is empty I have a second bedroom I use. It's not very big but it's ok. We moved recently and I'm disabled so I'm still working on getting it organized but I have the furniture set up. Thank you for the inspiration.

Hello Carol

[@msdeedee1808]

You are one beautiful woman! Thank you for sharing and providing lots of inspiration...like, me dashing to my craft room, unpackaging all my measuring tapes and stringin' 'em high to get the wrinkles out (I'll probably have to cover them with a thermal sheet and press with a very low temp iron).

I’m doing that right away also, hate to re roll tapes after use!
