I converted the master into mysewing/ craft/computer room several yearsago.Best thing ever.

[@kathleenreynolds6492]

Best sewing room video yet because it’s a working room but pleasant to look at and clearly well organized. I’ve been sewing for over 65 years (yes, I started very young and, yes, I have a few life-years in my bucket!) and am just now I’m in the process of creating a nice sewing room. I re-homed my mis-matched collection of cheap and garage sale storage units and tables and IKEA has become my best friend. I’m loving it! You have inspired me a great deal. I do a wide variety of sewing, mostly garments so have collected lots of “stuff”, much of it looking for better resting places. Thank you!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 💜 I think the IKEA furniture gets the job done at an affordable price, so it's a win-win for me. I've been sewing on and off for 20 years, but I feel I've become a bit of a hoarder when it comes to fabric and sewing supplies. Perhaps I'm an "organized hoarder" 😆 My grandmother sewed all her life, and one day I hope I can sew even a fraction of how well she did.

[@lindaconnolly4749]

Nice to see someone else thinks like I do. I just figured my master bedroom was a waste of good space. It is for sleeping in. How much room do you really need for a bed & dressers??? I did the same thing. We have a trailer and put on a full length, very wide addition. Of course the new Master bedroom was designed to go in one end and our sons room at the other end. Never happened. It became my sewing room. When we re-did the kitchen. All the Top cupboards were reused by putting them in the sewing room on the walls. I love my sewing room and the way we recycled the cupboards. The bottom cupboards with counter tops went in to the Other bedroom in the addition and that is now my Computer room Office and Genealogy Library, and even that room is larger than the original master bedroom in the trailer. My hats off to you & anyone with the courage and insight to utilize their rooms more efficiently and say to heck with a largest bedroom in the house being a master bedroom.

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! Great minds think alike! I figured since all I do is sleep and get dressed in my bedroom and spend most of my waking hours in the sewing room, it just made more sense 🙂

[@number1angel66]

I love how you turned the master bedroom into your sewing studio! It makes perfect sense! You did an amazing job! Stay Blessed!🙏🏼💜

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! You too!

[@lindawalton8384]

I do too plus beautiful bathroom and so convenient since you work from home. Wow you are really organized!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you so much! 💞

[@MadisonWestfield]

I sew on a small table in the corner of my studio apartment. My dining table, coffee table and floor double as work space. I am dreaming of the day I can have an actual cutting table! Your space looks awesome! You’re so organized!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you very much!

[@petmomful2260]

It sounds like you have plenty of flat spaces to work, even tho it may be small. I started out small, and now the kids are gone and I have more space. Be patient, and one day you have your dream space, not matter what that means for you! Maybe use a portable table for now to cut on??

[@MadisonWestfield]

@@petmomful2260 a portable table is a great idea!! I’m wondering if I can find a table that collapses to store under my bed. Wow thanks for the inspiration! Hope you’re having a nice night. 😋

[@melissamiller5178]

@@MadisonWestfield I recently saw a sewing room makeover by Craftpreneur (here on KZbin) and she has a tall wooden shelf unit bolted to a wall which includes a table with 2 legs that folds out (she turned it into an ironing board). I think she said she got it at IKEA. Just a thought! Good luck with your space - my living room coffee table doubles as my computer and sewing space. It's a big low wooden one from the 80's my parents gave me. I call it "my command center." I actually sit on a pillow on the floor, legs crossed or under the table, with my couch behind me so I can lean back if I want (and my cat likes to sleep nearby). I love it! Best to you!

[@violet2048]

Great room very well thought out. And when you showed your dresser for storing fabric, I had to laugh, You Are Organized. My goodness, I wish I had half your organizing skills. Thank you.

[@suestutzle2779]

I love your room. So pretty and functional. It's great you can sew with your cousin. Love your cat. My cat used to love to sit with me when I sewed. He died just before Christmas, I miss him. The work desk is really good. My daughter works from home too. She loves it and no, she isn't tempted to sew instead of working. haha. Nice ironing board. Top job.

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you so much❣️ I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty.

[@melbaburwell6264]

oh wow .. that is an awesome idea what you did for your sewing table connecting them and also with the baskets underneath to hold your long serge protector and holds all your cords off the floor. that is an idea for me to do. thank you for showing your beautiful and organized room... especially for all the spools of thread.. I guess Ikea would be a great place to go.. Love what you did.. awesome.

Very good sewing room tour! I'm excited that I'll be able to set up a dedicated sewing/craft room in my new home in the next few months, so I've been scouring YT sewing channels for tour vlogs. I really like what you did with your room. The added overhead lighting is not something generally shown on sewing room tours, and I appreciate that you included that. Thanks for sharing!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

That's awesome! Setting up a new sewing room is exciting 😊

[@kymskitchentherapy]

I also love your cord management system. Very clever!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

@@kymskitchentherapy thank you! 🔌

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

Really love your sewing area! I will be incorporating some of your ideas into my space. I really love how you dealt with your cords and power bar. For patterns I photocopied the front of the pattern and put into binders (men’s, lady’s, kids, historical) then filled the patterns by number. Makes everything much easier to find and gives you the option to fill the pictures under different categories. Make sure you have sizing info on the page so you just pull out a binder and leaf through to find what you have in that category. The patterns themselves are in a filling cabinet with box cardboard to separate the rows.

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you sew much! 🧵 I like your pattern filing system, that seems very helpful and it's super organized ☺️

[@rindasrelics5177]

Love your sewing room, it's so organized! What a great idea to have two sewing stations so that your cousin can sew with you. You are just precious!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you sew much! ❤️

[@nylanelson8660]

Love your sewing room as it’s the Most Organized sewing room I’ve ever seen. Thank you for all the great ideas 💜

[@cindyphillips2509]

I would love to see a tutorial for the gnomes. They are adorable! I love your new space.

[@MadisonWestfield]

I just watched this whole video again. You’ve got such a wonderful space and you really have some brilliant things you’ve done in the room. It’s a gorgeous space and I am happy you have a beautiful space(with a kitty included!) to be creative in!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Wow! Thank you! It really is a great space. I need to be better at keeping it clean 😮 You should see it now! 🌪️

[@melissamiller5178]

Awesome video! Wonderful and creative use of space. I love that you used the master bedroom as your sewing room. Might as well get the most out of it since you spend the bulk of your time there! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you sew much! 😊🧵

[@einahpets]

I love it! It's so clean and functional. And your kitty is adorable. ♥️

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! 😺

[@sarahjocker5059]

Beautiful sewing area so happy for you. So organised. I sew a lot but my sewing room is in the front room. I have four store cupboards which I could put things in the right place. I must say you have given me a lot of thought how I should organise my sewing space. Thank you so much for sharing it is lovely to see sewing rooms it has given me a lot of ideas. HAPPY SEWING !!!!!

[@haleystorm9448]

LOVE the cord management!!!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! It's one of the biggest improvements I made 🔌👏

[@ladyd54]

Great tour of your design space. Love the idea for holding your power strip up off the floor. You put great thought into the best use of your square footage. Since kitty loves to sleep and look out of the window, create a shelf space by using L-brackets and a piece of wood in a half circle therefore you won’t have any sharp edges to bump into and your storage containers can go back under your cutting space.

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! Great idea! 🙂

[@elizabetht6512]

Must keep Cat happy, by all means. Love it!

Thank you! 😃🌟

[@dcinrb8538]

By default, not design, my master bedroom is now a craft room. From IKEA, there's 3 Billie(?) bookcases, a very large wooden table top, clear storage boxes, metal magazine holders, cubby shelf and the zipped square ottoman/twin bed. With luck, these shelves can be bought for $10-$20 apiece at thrift stores and the table top was in the "As Is" section for just $25...no legs. But I'm no where near your organization skills because I'm still sewing in my dining room... 😆 Lovely video filled with great storage solutions. Thank you 🍄🍄

[@SewcalSewcialite]

IKEA for the win! ❤️ Thank you for watching!

What are the rough dimensions of your room? The space I am setting up is a basement utility room with open space of 12' x 16'. I love the way you've stored various items, there's a pleasant continuity & flow. Will take some of your ideas and put them to use as I set up my own craft room. IKEA is a crafters friend. Well done and Thank You for putting your mind to this formidable task!

[@clarkbono189]

beautiful room! I haven't seen any pattern weights or ideas for hanging patterns with other tours. That could solve some daily frustrations for my workspace

[@meacadwell]

I got that 3 piece cutting mat and you were right about the metal connectors - they caught fabric and would fly off. So I removed those connectors and use painting tape on the back to keep them together. Then the only problem is the seam - when you rotary cut over them there are times where just one thread won't cut because it's right over the seam.

[@SewcalSewcialite]

It was a good idea in theory and a money saving option to have three pieces. But alas, for cutting fabric it’s not ideal. Thanks for watching!

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

What an incredible space. You've sure thought of everything!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Hi there! Sorry for the delay in my reply as I don't always get notified when comments come in. These are the 15 quart boxes. Thanks for watching!

[@catsknit23]

I agree with you on the Brother 1034D serger. I had one for 10+ years (got it at Walmart, my first serger) and sewed tons of stuff including cloth diapers (thick!) on it. I had replaced the knife once but eventually another metal part failed (can't recall what now) that I couldn't replace, so I pitched it and bought a Janome, thinking it was an upgrade (cost 4x the amount of the Brother) - I hate it! fussy to thread and no free arm! Thinking I will sell it and get another cheap Brother.

[@SewcalSewcialite]

It's really a tried and true machine! Such a little workhorse for a great price 🙂

[@3kidT]

Great room and set up!! Thanks for sharing. What type organizer do you have on your little rolling cart? That's a great idea and it looks like a perfect fit!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! It's a little sewing caddy, I think I got it at JoAnn but I could be wrong. I shall investigate 😊

[@sherrydenileon5290]

I had an aweha moment with a great solution for the thread storage to over keep thread from unraveling all over. I bought the 3d dots and try to remember to use them especially before I put them away. I do have mats most of my machine embroidery threads, but they still will unravel. Try the dots they can be reused and are very cheap. Sherry D

Great tip, I will try it. Thank you! 🧵

[@vernegarlock4169]

Very nicely put together. May I ask how high up should a cutting table come to alleviate back strain? You mentioned being 5'9", what is the height of the 4 drawer chest including the butcher block top? Trying to get an idea of what height would work for me at 5'7" tall for a cutting table.. Thank you xo PS: really like your gnome pattern weights! So cute

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! The dressers that hold up the table top are about 39" high, and the thickness of the table adds another 1.5". I personally chose a height where I didn't need to bend, at all. It works well! I love my pattern weight gnomes, thank you! 🌈💜

Love your room! You should order a cutting mat from Martelli. Bar none they are the best mats i have ever used!

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you so much, and thank you for the cutting mat tip 🙂

You have such a beautiful sewing space! I am in the process of reorganizing my sewing space and I would like to know where did you get the beautiful artwork hanging on your wall? I was hoping that you would talk about it. I love the ladies wearing the vintage black dresses 👗 Please let me know. Thanks 😊

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Hi there! Thanks for watching! The ladies are in the Simplicity Vintage Black Dress Evolution Poster. The other artwork I got in London at museums 😊

The gnomes are really cute

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you so much! They are very helpful and make me happy :-)

Love your setup! Are you happy with the sturdiness of the tables holding your machines? I was thinking about getting those, but I am worried about whether they will shake while sewing.

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! ❤️🧵 I'm pretty happy with them. They don't really shake unless I put the pedal to metal 😆 I have a bracket that joins the two tables together so that probably helps.

Thank you for sharing the tour of your wonderful sewing studio! Where did you get the print of the ladies in dresses (it's so cute) above your 4 X 4 storage cubes?

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! 😃 The little black dress poster is from Simplicity: www.simplicity.com/simplicity-storefront-catalog/vintage-collectibles/simplicity-vintage-black-dress-evolution-poster/

Do you mind sharing the size of the room? I love the setup! One of the best I have seen! I will be moving in a few months and will have a room dedicated so I am searching for ideas. Thank you for sharing💖

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Hi there! I have an entry way to the room, but the "useable" measurements are 13'8" by 14'4" 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🧵💜

FYI - they make kitty beds that suction to windows for our wonderful little fur babies. :) Can you do a tutorial on how to make the weighted gnomes????? I would LOVE that! Your sewing room is AWESOME!!!!! I would put my sewing room in the master bedroom, but there are no working outlets in there (it is an older house & needs help). But that is a great idea. :)

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! I've seen those beds and was wondering if the suction cups actually work. I'm thinking of doing a tutorial on my gnomes 🍄

@@SewcalSewcialite One of the blogs I follow has a couple in their camper for both their cats. I will ask her what brand they are and get back to you. If you want to check her out her blog is catpatches.blogspot.com I love those gnomes and would like to make some.

Thank you! ☺️

Very nice. It gave me some good ideas!

I want a U shape system so I don't need to stand up after I cut out all my patterns. So sewing machine in the middle serger on my left and iron on my right. My basic rudimentary arrangement is like that. I cut out everything I need at once, gather all the notions I need but most if it is on a reachable craft bag below sewing machine and make sure my iron is filled with enough water and then my snacks and tablet for netflix on the right corner table of my sewing machine so I don't stand up until my project is done or need a bathroom break

[@SewcalSewcialite]

That would be a great set-up! and my old sewing room my ironing station was to my left so I didn't really have to get up. And this room I couldn't really make that work. But I really like your u-shape idea! ☺️

[@cjhines726]

Gnomes are so adorable. Do you have a pattern for them? Your sewing room is fantastic! You’ve given some ideas to use in mine👍💗💗

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! I just drafted the gnome pattern myself.

[@vickieg8791]

Wonderful sewing space! I too used the big bedroom for my sewing when I moved, I love having a bathroom attached. I also have the laundry in that bathroom- so handy for fabric prep before storage. I have yet to settle everything in, afraid to put stuff on the walls in case I change it around! You give me great ideas and will definitely check out that ironing board.

[@SewcalSewcialite]

Thank you! I say, if you can use the bigger bedroom for a sewing room, go for it! Having a bathroom attached is nice, too. My laundry room is right next door, which is an added bonus. I really do like that ironing board, so if you get it I hope you like it too ☺️ Happy Sewing! 🧵
