Sewing Room Tour - Refurb Plans - Part One

Hi lovely people
So I managed to record all this vlog with my phone the wrong way round 🤦🏻‍♀️. Soz about that but you know I’m just too lazy to redo it 🤪
This is just the first part of my sewing room revamp vlogs. I’ll hopefully get the next one up which will show progress 🤞. Let’s hope I get it done before December 😝
I mentioned on this vlog about the #frugalfrocks2021 challenge that myself and Sam from @frugalisama are running. If you’d like more info and want to get involved please pop over to mine or Sam’s Instagram pages for details. I also talk about it in some previous vlogs 👍🏼
Happy sewing peeps

[@lstockil]

I love your sewing room! Enjoy the redecorating. You have lovely fabrics there too 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thank you. I’m not sure I’ll enjoy the decorating that much but I’ll hopefully like the end result 😝

[@dianecrews6130]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful sewing space

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thanks Diane 😀

[@sewonsister]

So the Closet Core pouf thing is AMAZING. I saw that someone (sorry I can't remember anything) made some that were smaller for her kids. I know you have kids...Happy sewing!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Hi Natasha...yes I think it was Made By Cath Craft. She did two for her kiddies and they were amazing weren’t they!

[@tracesew4512]

I enjoy your videos so much! It comes natural to you to chat to the camera and it is so enjoyable. I also enjoy to look into other people’s sewing areas, I have picked up ideas for my own sewing room, organization and storage, so, thanks for sharing. Please keep us updated with your progress on your sewing rom! I personally enjoy those videos so much! Have fun in the process and take care!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thank you Liliana! At least I know it’s not just me who likes a good nosey into other peoples sewing space 🤣

[@joannebreeze9139]

Aww thanks Joanne 😊

[@sarahhellewell7936]

Just sat down with a cuppa and your video popped up! Perfect timing! So exciting - I look forward to seeing what you do with your sewing room 🥰

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yay! Thanks Sarah. I’ll keep you informed as to progress 🤞🤣

[@SoWhatIfISew]

Love your videos! I also love seeing around other peoples sewing spaces, I'm so nosy, but also it inspires me to do things to my own sewing corner! Looking forward to the refurb, I love a progress vlog xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you honey. I’m a fan of your vlogs too 😊. I’m glad I’m not the only one that loves a good look into other peoples spaces 🤪

[@sewgems]

Love watching your videos Ruan, they make me smile every time 😊 I'm yet to move into a dedicated sewing space, still using the dining table at the minute but am planning on moving into the spare bedroom this year so although you are changing your space its still good to have a nosey in your sewing room and getting ideas. Look forward to seeing your revamped room x

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you 😊. I know what it’s like to sew on the dining table and I thank my lucky stars every time I walk into my sewing room 🙏🏼

[@angelabanks2431]

Loved your sewing room Ruan! Its fab now so can't wait to see the revamp! I also have a kalex and it looks much the same as yours lol! You made me laugh as always, keep the vlogs coming they are brill! 😁👍

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thanks Angela! Yeah to be honest it’s ok isn’t it. Nice to go back to basics though 👏🏻👏🏻

[@sewlittletime]

Nice little body at your room and just loving seeing what haberdashery you've got lol. It's a cute little room. Can't wait to see what you do with it xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh Ruan, your room is fabulous as it is, if only mine was so organised. X

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thanks honey 😊

[@create_something_pretty]

I love your vlogs. I love how real you are. I do enjoy you working out how to use your camera, I have the same issues😅. I even struggle with my phone. While I agree having your own sewing room involves some small degree of luck I do think some of us have made sacrifices and worked very hard to have what we do at our age. I don't think you should have to justify or feel guilty to some degree to have what we've worked hard for. Feel proud for your achievements. I worked bloody hard and put up with some below adverage living conditions to have what I have today. And I am so proud of myself and I'm sure you deserve what you have.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Katrina that was such a lovely comment to read. Thank you. And I am SO glad it’s not just me with my phone 🤣

[@aseret01666]

I found that fascinating - thanks very much. I shall look forward to seeing the update vlog and progress etc. By the way, I love your pincushion/thread catcher by your sewing machine. Thank you!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks you Teresa! I picked it up at a stitching show a couple of years back. I think you can make them yourself too but I just loved this one!

[@pipskilou]

Squeaky floorboards 😂. Of course it is - that or the dog eh!! 💨 😉 Loved your tour. I’m nosey too and love seeing other peoples sewing spaces. I have all my sewing stuff rammed into a small corner and lots of other stuff in storage as we’re renting while we build a house - where hopefully 🤞🏽 I’ll have a proper full on sewing room 🎉 Looking forward to seeing your progress 😁

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha 🤪. That sounds like it’s going to be amazing! I keep eyeing up my youngest son’s room because I’d love space for a cutting table but I’ll have to wait til he moves out 🤣. He’s only 4 so I’ll be waiting a while! 😝

[@SewingBunny]

Love your sewing room! Looks similar size to my little sanctuary 🥰 good luck with the redecorating! also I love your jumper you are wearing that is super cute 🌼

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks Michelle. We’re so lucky aren’t we to have a space! My Mum bought me my jumper after I saw her wearing one and swooned over it 🥰

[@elaine58100]

Really enjoyed your little tour and you did it really well. When you mention those Merchant and Mills pins. I purchased a pair of the 'Little Bow Scissors' from Merchant and Mills and they are absolutely crap!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

That made me really laugh Elaine! I’m glad I’m not the only one. Everyone said the pins were the best and they were an expensive fail for me!

[@marlenep2644]

You crack me up! This was fun. Looking forward to progress vlogs. Jayne at Loopy Mable's Closet just did a vlog about rearranging her sewing room and I absolutely loved it! Who'd have thought watching that could be so interesting, but I think we all live vicariously watching someone else!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

He he. I’ve missed that one from Loopy Mable’s Closet. I’m going to go and have a peep 👀

[@eirianrobson3464]

Thank you for showing us your room. I'm really interested in this because I am moving on Friday and I'll have a sewing room to kit out too. Soooooo excited.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Woohoo! So excited for you 👏🏻

[@quiltygal6981]

It's a lovely space. I love organising, I love a good container sale . Re your PDF patterns I put mine in lge envelopes and tape a picture of it on the front also I write any measurements, changes etc on the envelope.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes I think I’m going to definitely do something along those lines 😊👍🏼

[@sewagnes6706]

[@vickithompson1840]

Your your room looks just fine as it is Ruan like you said, but I can see why you want to have a makeover, to make it work better for you and to utilise the space you have. It’s a lovely little room, oh how I dream to own one, one day 🤗🤗 can’t wait to see what you do with the place. Have you thought of using two different fabrics for your frugal dress. Not to everyone’s taste but it’s food for thought. Trumpy floorboard 😂😂😂you always put a smile on my face. Look forward to your next vlog 😍😍

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Hi Vicky 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ yes I have thought of two fabrics....great minds think alike 😝. I keep changing my mind constantly. I’m my own nightmare 🤣

[@margaretbryant6468]

Love your sewing room Ruan .like you said you going to paint your cupboard a lovely grey colour would be nice as its all in .I would love that sewing room .xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Margaret! I think I’m going to paint the whole thing white to open it up as much as possible and then have bits of bright colours everywhere!

[@suek7086]

I will be looking for your finished room. I will be setting one up, in April. It is a nice size, 12x14 with a twin bed and 1 large dresser I will be using for storage and a cutting table. I have another narrow dresser that will also use for storage and a small closet. I have to paint first because the room was painted by my ex daughter in law for her children. After losing those two grandchildren this year I decided to use the space for something happy. I have a couple of folding tables to use as desks until something more permanent is available.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Hi Sue. The room sounds amazing 😊 I’m so sorry about losing your grandchildren. I’m hoping you mean your son and daughter in law have split up so you don’t see them any more and nothing more serious xxx

[@karenbrowne7233]

Your room is soooo tidy 🤣. My sewing room is need of sorting out, like you my overlocker and sewing machine sit away from each other like feuding neighbours 😂. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do and hopefully picking up a few tips and ideas. I thought your foot box was fab, I have to look mine up on google before I can sew with it, keeping them in the packaging might’ve helped 🙄😂 A friend introduced me to you a few weeks ago, love your videos, I’ve put the Marlo sweater in my wish list, hadn’t come across it before, I’m busy looking for suitable fabric to do it in 😍

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Hi Karen 👋🏼. Feuding neighbours 🤣🤣🤣 I think you’ll really like the Marlo. It’s a lovely pattern 👍🏼

[@cjhines726]

Just found your vlog last week-love you! And love your humor😊😅

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thank you so much 😊

[@cecilehoare3053]

You should make 'drawers' out of your jersey scraps! With drawers you can make them patchworked since you and hubs hopefully are the only ones to see your 'drawers'! lol If I can suggest, since you have a small room, you should mount a fold out cutting table on the wall that folds down and folds out as a tri fold to give you a spot to cut out patterns that you can tuck away when not in use. If you're moving your serger table over under the window, the space on the serger wall between the cupboard and serger you could mount it there! Your dress form should be called Flora, Petal or Blossom since she has flowers on her! If you add shelves back in your cupboard only make them as deep as the supports on the sides, then you can put over the door hangers on the inside of the door to put garments as your working on them and they won't get crushed. I'm so happy your videos came up in my feed, your videos are awesome! Love your humour and in three videos I have a whole lot of new sayings to use! lol

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha Cecile! I live the idea of using scraps for “drawers” 🤣. I’m definitely going to have a go at that this year! I did think about a wall mounted table. I’m going to see what the space is like when I’ve done it all and see if it would fit in. If not I can just carry on cutting out on the dining table. I think I’d rather have space in my room with it being so tiny 😊

[@cecilehoare3053]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl The idea with the table is that you hinge it so it folds up against the wall when not in use, then fold it out and down when you need it. I certainly understand the space issue, I too have to resort to the dining room table! lol I think if it comes down to having to eat at the breakfast bar Hubs will have issues! lol

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

@@cecilehoare3053 ha ha! Yes I know what you mean. I do love the idea of a fold down table for cutting. Would save going downstairs to cut out all the time!

Hey I've got a few 'trumpy floor boards' in my house I can tell you!! Really really enjoyed this Ruan. My sewing space is in desperate need of help and I have a plan but didn't really want to share the 'before' bit . Yours is already lovely and will be fabarooney when you've made the changes you describe. You've inspired me to maybe do a vlog on mine 'warts and all' then see the progress later. xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Definitely do it Lucy! I think it would be brilliant to see what you come up with and how it all works out 💪🏼

[@lorieburtt592]

Your room is really good as it is, so if you improve it, it will be amazing! I love seeing where people work. I’ve had all kinds of different sorts of sewing spaces, from extremely humble to fairly grand. I think somewhere in the middle is the sort of workspace I like to have. Although, to be honest, my whole house is pretty much my workspace right now, since I live alone and Covid has me living like a hermit. Always love your vlogs.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Hi Lorie! Well good for you. If you live alone then why not use as much space as you like 🙌🏼 I would love one of our bigger rooms but the boys take priority 🙄🤪

[@deebuettner8017]

I'd love to see your progress as you go, then a summary of before and after when it's done.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

[@patshaw4922]

Ruan your room is about the same size as the room I want to use for sewing but it’s currently got a single bed in it! I’m planning on moving the bed into the other bedroom so I can have a dedicated sewing room. Looking forward to seeing your new room xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yay Pat. Get that bed outta there! 🛏 🚫. You can’t beat a dedicated space if you have the room! x

[@lynnhunter5790]

Would love to see the progress of your sewing room. It looks a lovely cosy space. Lol I’m squashed into my hubby’s study which is about the same size, not enough room to swing a cat 😂😂. He moans I’ve taken over his space…… I’m afraid it’s true 😏🙈. I made a closet core pouf last month. It’s true, they really are a tardis. I’ve been shoving in scraps, old towels, shirts, my tights that I went to put on the other morning and discovered had a huge hole…… anything to try and fill it and it’s still not full 😂.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

[@noemir8262]

I used to sew in a corner of a master bedroom. A year ago we moved into a bigger home and I now have a dedicated space for sewing. I keep wanting to organize it better and perfect it but not sure if that's ever going to happen because I keep changing my mind on different aspects of the organization. At the end of the day, the primary goal really is to get that garment done! As long as the tools we need are nearby it doesn't really matter if the space is Instagram picture worthy. For the fabric stash, I did purchase comic book boards from Amazon and have been able to neatly wrap the fabrics around them and store them in nine cubby like spaces. I'm jealous of your not so big stash. Try to keep it that way. I want to reduce my stash to 3 or 4 cubbies and only shop for more as I need it. Thanks for sharing your space.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

I’ve been exactly the same Noemi. It’s taken me a long time to work out how I want to do it all as I had too many ideas! My head was jumbled with so much I had to write it all down. I’m sure I’ll still change things though 😝

Isn't just wonderful to have a sewing space that you can close the door on? It's certainly one of my great pleasures. I really should do a sewing room tour too. I shall try to schedule it in, but not right now as I (foolishly) decided to destash some fabric 2 weeks ago, which meant having to get out every.single.piece. of fabric. I got rid of 2 bin bags FULL of fabric. Good for me! Unfortunately, it meant I had a whole bunch of fabric to put away afterwards. That still hasn't happened because I decided to reorganise my fabric storage, which has become a huge mission, and I don't have the energy. Need to get it finished soon though as I can't look at my options for the #frugalfrocks2021 challenge until it's done, cause I can't actually SEE what fabric I've got right now! It's all in various piles all around the room! Kick me up the butt please!

[@deebuettner8017]

I put all my patterns in Airtable, a free downloadable database. Then I put the regular pattern covers in sheet protectors in binders by type, and the patterns and instructions in manila envelopes labeled with the company name, pattern number or name, and what it is. I store them in Bankers Boxes, which I got fairly cheaply. 10 for $19. I used 5 boxes for my stash. For Airtable, I took pictures of the pattern cover or first picture in the case of the pdf's, the sizes, and yardage requirements, then some sortable fields like woven vs knit, kids vs adults, male vs female or unisex, etc. It was quite a big job and I did purge as I went. But now my family members can log into my Airtable database and pick out the patterns they want me to make for them. And I'm much more familiar with what I have. I followed Mimi G's method with the paper patterns.

Hi Linda. Yes I did think of that. I’ve been through my stash and I’ve a few that are 2 or 2.5 metres so I’m thinking I’ll be able to squeeze something out of them.
