Organizing Vintage Craft Room, Sewing Fabric, & Vintage Sheets

Part three of my vintage storage series is decluttering my craft room! It's filled with vintage sheets, retro fabric, and thrifted sewing supplies. Plus a lot of items like vintage board games, cookbooks, and greeting cards from my handmade business that is headed to the yard sale pile. Organizing my sewing room was a huge project and was really exhausting but I'm glad it's done! That's for watching this craft room clean up video! How is your craft room / sewing room looking? Do you plan on organizing it? Let me know in the comments!

How is your craft room looking? Are you good at keeping your space organized or do you struggle with it?

[@sharlott23]

😍🥰 loved your room💞💞💞

[@omgwhofarted3809]

Hi there! I am flabbergasted that there are people out there, just like me! 😂❤ Glad I found you. Subscribed. Love and light from Canada 🇨🇦❤

[@andreahavens5149]

“Why is there a DVD player in there?” 😂. All relatable!

[@kristenberg4906]

Did u say vintage yard sale 🙈!! Am I booking a flight from Connecticut?! Lol

[@brigid6609]

Wow, you worked so hard! I would have been frozen in indecision 😢😅

[@uglybeat]

That’s it!!! You’ve totally inspired me to give a spring cleaning/organizing to my sewing room, which is an absolute pit right now!!! Thank you and can’t wait to see your decorating!

[@emilyretro]

Oh yayyyyy best of luck to you!!! You can do it 👏👏👏💕

[@dcdszgage2125]

Watched all the commercials! I think you should mention more often that it helps you if we watch . I had no idea

[@petersfransen]

Instead of a pegboard I have some magnet bars meant for knives or tools (thank you Harbor Freight) covered in fabric that are perfect for small scissors, tools etc by my sewing machines.

[@emilyretro]

Oh now that’s a super cool idea!!! Thanks for sharing 😄

[@pameladelancey5834]

Wow, you have done an amazing job!! You are so organized!! I would have been so overwhelmed, you should see my house!! Nightmare! That is my goal too!! Tackle one room at a time!! Thank you for sharing your process!!❤❤❤

[@emilyretro]

Aw thanks, Pamela! It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed but it’s important just to start ☺️ it took me a few days but I’m so glad it’s finally done 😄

[@dipi4603]

Thank you for your inspiration. I am heading into my craft room right now to declutter. I have been putting it off. Sometimes it’s too overwhelming. I’ve got this!!! I can do it!!!

[@emilyretro]

Oh my gosh that is AMAZING I'm so excited for you and so proud of you 😭 Just getting started can be the hardest part. You can definitely do it!!! 👏

[@dipi4603]

@@emilyretro thanks for cheering me on. 👏🏼❤️

Oh Emily! I love your craft room and all your lovelies! I'm into vintage sheets too! I'd love to see a video on how you fold them all so neatly some day! I absolutely LOVE The Sound of Music as well! When I taught prek, I played that record on your shelf at nap time and now my students message me every time they see on the TV! 💙 Love your vibe , your style and your spirit! 💕

[@emilyretro]

Oh my gosh that’s so sweet you played the sound of music record to your students 😭😭😭😭😭 And thanks for the folding sheets suggestion. I’m thinking about doing a vintage sheet video at some point and that would be a great addition to it 😄

[@jenipawluch1661]

Yes I want to learn how to fold my sheets too

[@angellaherrmann8608]

I'd love to see that video also! You are so inspiring and I too need to clean my craft room and fold some sheets! I'm so happy I found your channel. I just love it!!

[@deborahjones1550]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I recently reorganized and purged all my fabric and crafting supplies and I'm still tired! I enjoy your honesty and your sense of humor. Being creative is alot of work and keeping stuff curated is exhausting for sure! I got some handy tips from your video so I will watch it again!

[@emilyretro]

Oh wow, thank you for the rave review of the video 🥹 I honestly was a bit worried it would be boring so thanks for the feedback. Glad you got some tips 😄

[@Charlievintage2808]

Love this! I struggle with deciding which items to store in drawers and which to store on open shelves. I find that if I can’t see it I forget about it but on the other hand if everything is on open shelving it looks cluttered! 😂

[@emilyretro]

Hahahaha I totally get the struggle! I put the items that I use the least in drawers. So items that I use for very specific projects, like if I want to use glitter I know where that is and don’t need it on display. Same with my vintage ads, I use those when I’m ready to do collage artwork. Other things, like my fabric, I want on display to inspire me ☺️ and I like a good “cluttered” looking craft room, as long as it’s actually not cluttered and you can walk around 😂

[@dianewilliams9729]

Do you actually iron all those pillowcases and sheets before you fold them? Did you ever do a video on how you fold them? Good job on the organization and downsizing!

[@alisonerickson1408]

I love this! I Marie Kondo'd my whole house a few years ago which was amazing. I still need to do a refresh every once in a while :) It really does take such a weight off to see a freshly tidied space.

[@emilyretro]

That’s so awesome you Marie Kondo’d your home!!! I’m going to be doing that this year 😄 I’m planning on going through each room and I’m really excited about it. Thanks for sharing you’re glad you did it ☺️

[@SK-ki1te]

I would have liked you to film going thru the sewing box

[@emilyretro]

It was a really personal moment I shared with my late Oma so I decided to do it alone 💕

[@collfitzpatrick]

Wowwww, that is some power organizing!!! Nice work! (And good to see another messy creative storage space lol) I definitely have to go through and do big overhauls so I can use the space better, it’s a constant flow between useable/cramped

[@emilyretro]

Wow thanks! Yesss definitely give it a try it feels so freeing having all that space back again 😄
