What a fantastic room and such excellent use of the space you have available. So inspirational. Well done you!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful 😊

[@stelladavies2262]

Great sewing room. So inspiring to see what can be done, as we all shoe horn our ‘sewing room’ into a corner of a room somewhere. Mines in a corner of my garage along with the washing machine, fridge, DIY, Xmas decs etc, etc. Maybe you could put Audrey on one of those big circular plant pot holders that are on wheels, well I think they are intended for moving very large plant pots but the use is as big as your imagination allows. They have them in B&Q here, not sure what the equivalent DIY depot is for you but you could make one with wheels and a piece of leftover wood!😁

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks for the idea 😊 That's exactly what I have done! It works a treat 😁

[@brendaaigner589]

Howdy, From Texas, USA, that was interesting. I have a little larger space but the room doubles as a second guest room that haas to be packed up whenever company comes. Most of my supplies are in cabinets that I have thrifted and added wheels to so they can be wheeled to the garage and the Murphy’s bed pulls down. We all have our challenges and simply “ make do”. All of our treasures are on loan from our Creator to use wisely for his glory!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Sounds like a wonderful adaptive space!

[@jenniferroland1244]

I really love your space. It's very well organized for all the jobs it does. An idea for Audrey's stand: put felt pads under the legs. It won't scratch the floor and will be easier to move.❤

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

That's a really good tip, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks! 😊

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

I have a recommendation for putting wheels on Audrey. Try to build a “skate” from a piece of plywood on which you attach four wheels. I would then bolt Audrey’s stand to the skate. Love your content 💗

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 Great idea! I'm definitely thinking along those lines!

[@TheEvie202]

Great use of space . Nice how you repurpose items. You could fill out Audrey the mannequin’s hips using quilt batting and foam.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks, that's a great idea!

[@gabrielacimpanu845]

KZbin recommended me this video! Ahh, lovely 😍! Really liked this video and all the genius ideas❤

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Brilliant! Thank you 😊

[@jacquelinehardey2603]

You’re inspirational Jenny!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you Jacqueline 😊

[@juliawain-smith4353]

Hello from the other Cornwall! I live in a caravan full time - and now I see how I can get my sewing room in! 💜💜💜

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Brilliant! Good luck 😊

[@stephaniebriggswilton1954]

You can make a triangle out of wood that bolts to Audrey's base and attach rollerblade wheels to the wood so it rolls easier. Be sure to get the wheels with locks on at least 2 wheels so you can have her stationary when needed.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 I actually went with a plant stand in the end and it is working very well!

[@christry1]

Amazing. You are so organized and tidy. I need to have a good tidy up now.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Haha! I doesn't always look like this 🤣 It's the power of the KZbin tour!

[@brendawyber6556]

Wow. Love it. In Canada we have these slider things, they are usually gray, and probably not a natural material but they slide beautifully on hard surfaces, and also on carpet. They could be useful under Audrey, if you cannot do wheels. I have just moved my sewing room to the basement, better light than the available rooms on the main floor. And being a basement (in Canada) it is carpeted for winter warmth, so I have the sliders under my cutting table, instead of wheels which do not like carpet.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks for the idea 😊 I've never seen anything like that in NZ but I've decided to use a wheeled plant stand like some other people have suggested! 😁

[@helenbrinsmead4230]

Very neat, and reminds me of using what you need, not what you think you want. Love the handy clothesbrush.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 Yes, a small space definitely keeps you on track 🤣

[@sewvintageglamwithunadoyle2775]

Fab use of space 🎉

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@MabelWrites]

Thank you for your beautifully detailed tour. Knowing the dimensions of your room puts everything in context. Love your ingenuity and how much you’ve set everything up to help you reuse and repurpose! Plus it looks like a lovely space to work in 💕

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks for your lovely comment 😊

[@jackiebrown2794]

Hi Jenny... Lovely tour of your sewing/crafting space. An idea for making Audrey mobile.. Check out op shops for a plant container mover/dolly and bolt Audrey to the base? ❤

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

OMG! That's brilliant 😊 Why didn't I think of that? You're awesome! thanks for that 😁

[@nadabenson3006]

Hallo from Australia, thank you for sharing your very efficient sewing room. I enjoyed watching it’s much like mine. I also have to have everything properly stored so l can find what l need and put it right back in its place. Sewing is so much better when there is some order. Loved your video. Thanks again!🌹

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, I agree! In a small space you do need to have a system otherwise you simply can't move 🤣

[@francinelundeen435]

Thank you, new ideas for my tiny sewing room. But I still love it just needs to be organized.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

It's always a good feeling to do a space tidy up 😊

[@elizabethzavala4850]

Lovely space thank you for sharing. Blessings

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@mrsmscuriositycabinet6925]

Such great use of space! It reckon you're a bit like me. I use the same skills/eye/muscle to spot space for productive/creative potential whether I'm making the most of my minute garden, tiny kitchen or postage sized studio... It's sometimes a little Heath Robinson but it sort of works. I imagine having the windows to the front and the side really help your sewing room/creative studio feel more spacious than it actually is.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Absolutely! And yes, the windows do make it a lot less claustrophobic 😁 Plus the light is great!

[@TheEvie202]

So neat , organized, and efficient!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks so much!

[@kathygann7632]

If you can’t figure out how to put wheels on Audrey, try those felt pads with adhesive that are designed so furniture doesn’t scrape wood floors.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks, that's a good idea 🤔

[@LRWdesign]

Well hellooo! 🥰👋 So excited to see your small sewing room as I also have a small sewing space which also serves as my office and art room. I enjoy your videos so much. ❤

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 Yes, it's amazing what you can fit in a small space!

[@carolynclarke1196]

Fabulous! You have given me so many new ideas. Thank you.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Wonderful! I'm pleased 😊

[@CathyGreenCakes]

You could get a plant stand on wheels for the mannequin. Check the garden planting area.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks 😊 That is just what I've done! It works a treat.

[@carolinereynolds2032]

My sewing/craft space is 3 metres by 3 metres. Palatial compared to your space. Have subscribed. You will be my second NZ KZbinr.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Lovely 😊 Sounds like your place is palatial 🤣

[@esperansaloughran693]

Very neat, and organized beautifully❤

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@jeanlee1911]

my craft room sewing room is also my bedroom. also i dont have a closet. Its a tiny bedroom aswell.maybe put thick sock or make pockets of felt and put them on on Audrey so she will move smoother and not scratch? i did that to my dinning room chairs because they scratched our new wood floors(we rented)

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

That's a good idea, thanks 🤔

[@cristinaqueiroz1474]

Great organization of your space 🎉

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@nadinedetain6765]

Hello, I had an Idea to add wheels to your mannequin : garden centres have wooden or plastic stands with wheels used to transport heavy plant pots.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Great idea! That's exactly what I did 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4qvhGqObdSDbMk

[@lorenacordero-hernandez8443]

You can make like a wood triangle base with wheels.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks for the idea! I actually went with a plant stand in the end and it is working very well 😊

[@bonniefandrich4435]

Did you make the pants you are wearing in today's video? If so could you share the pattern or patterns you used? I LOVE THEM!!! and they are exactly what I am looking to make!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, I did! Unfortunately, it is not a commercial pattern. I started off with a standard trouser pattern but have made so many alterations over the years to create my perfectly fitting trouser pattern that it no longer resembles the original 🤣 I think that is the trick - I have watched so many KZbin videos and made so many changes and versions but it has been so worth the effort! Good luck with yours 😁

[@bonniefandrich4435]

@@cornwallpocketfarm Thanks, I am about to embark on the same journey. I want to construct a pair of pants that my mother when she was feature article in a 1942 LOOK magazine while working as a riviter in the Vega Airplane factory. I would love to find an in-person seminar for creating personalized block patterns as you mentioned in a previous post, but I will likely have to find some online courses and plod through them on my own. Thank you again for the great inspiration your KZbin videos provide!

[@carriesaindon5382]

Try furniture sliders under Audrey.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks 😊

[@lynnfrench4969]

👍❤️

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks 😊

[@GoingGreenMom]

We call them yard sticks if they are a yard, kids say in science they had meter sticks..... not sure they typically ever used metric otherwise, but apparently science did.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, I think mine is a meter stick as that's the measurement on it 😊

[@GoingGreenMom]

@cornwallpocketfarm my current frustration is that I'm noticing I don't have millimeters on anything right now, but I'm fighting my bias taper makers, and I think maybe my fabric strip is off, but have no way to tell. Lol.

[@GoingGreenMom]

Need 25 mm. Lol.

[@kathygann7632]

Could you put a link for the table?

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Sure. It's this one www.ikea.com/au/en/p/mittback-trestle-birch-50459996/ Two trestles and a removable top that goes with it. I think you can get them in white and wood 😁
