My Dream Sewing Room Tour and How I Set It Up. (Also let's look at my fabric stash!)

[@m.maclellan7147]

I absolutely LOVE how transparent you are about prices ! I am NOT a professional that makes what a Doctor makes, but, I appreciate that you are so transparent on costs and NEVER look down on folks who can't afford what you can ! We all have our own paths, & you are always kind & clear that costs do NOT "make the maker", 'making' does !

[@jr3wx]

Seconding! I love how you're so low-key and no-judgment about it -- it can be hard to talk/hear about money without it being stressful and you totally manage it! I especially appreciate it from you because I'm often thinking about how I can take some of the ideas I get from your channel and apply them to my own making, and hearing how much things you're using cost gives me a concrete frame of reference so I can consider what's affordable for me while I'm thinking about my own potential projects.

[@tjs114]

Since you are going to need to 'redesign' your sewing room; I'll offer an idea that a friend of mine that lives in Singapore has done. Her sewing room work table is built like a murphy bed--- the table folds into a wall cabinet. Her sewing machine sits on a table that is also a murphy bed-- you can see that design on youtube in places where the folded up position is a computer desk (hers is the sewing machine table) and then when you 'pull it down' the work table becomes the footing of a fold down twin bed. Just an idea to give you more working area in a smaller space.

[@bakerwannabe4435]

Great idea! When we move, I want to try something like this.

[@rebeccasabourin6193]

Your sewing room is bigger then my house. The puppy has grown, so adorable.

[@Fallenfantasy174]

Yeh, I was gonna say the same.

[@angelafleming5269]

So sad that you are losing your magnificent sewing room, but happy that you will be coming to join us East Coast sewists!

[@SPQRPax]

Gorgeous room, Christine! Definitely a dream indeed. I found it so cute that you and your husband share a creative space together. I also prefer efficiency over the matching-workspace-aesthetic.

[@ljm792]

God that dress was amazing on Sansa. Ug. The writers may have absolutely put her out to lunch at the end, but DAMN IT the costumers did right by her!

[@saraquill]

If you have blue silk leftover from making your Felicity dress, it might be cute to make a duplicate for Evangeline.

[@dee-annegordon5959]

I knew your sewing space was large, but I didn't realize just how big it was. Completely understand why you describe it as your dream sewing room. Loved your description of what size your cutting table was and why it's important (or not as the case may be). Completely envious, as someone who sews on the diningroom table.

[@jessiuss_juiice]

you gotta do a closet tour every single day dress you wear is so prettyyyyyy

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Love your dress! Love your hydration container! I will miss your sewing room!!!!

[@AshLG]

Oh boy do I feel the mood of “I want to make this costume but I’m mad about how the media it’s from went so I’m not doing it yet” What a wonderful space, I can see why you love it - but best of luck with the move and the new place!

[@annbrookens945]

You have a DREAM of a sewing room! It's sad that your next one may not have as much space. And WHAT ABOUT YOUR MURAL??? Its so beautiful! I also appreciate your listing prices on those fabrics. I'll never be able to afford them, but I get a lot of vicarious pleasure from seeing the amazing gowns you create from them!

[@MariaSanchez-zf9cs]

I procured several of those giant drinking mugs when my parents entered the hospital several years ago. I love them! It is one of my favorite things to drink out of.

[@jeanetterule5420]

❤❤❤❤❤ I loved the tour of your sewing room. Also, you look wonderful in your cottagecore dress. This may sound silly but what I enjoyed the most was you and your husband making the bed and how gently your husband moved the limp puppy off the sheets. It was such a sweet gesture and you are clearly an excellent team. My father said that marriage is like three ships: Courtship, Friendship and Partnership. You clearly have 3 very strong and sturdy ships in your marriage. Sending lots of good vibes and blessing on your move the New Jersey. You’ll be my neighbor I hope as I live in NYC. Welcome to the East Coast.

[@MartaAngelo98]

As a last year med student and hobby sewist, this is very inspiring 🤩 one day…

[@stevezytveld6585]

A cutting table in order to not be a floor troll - yours is the dream... Beautiful space. All the very best for the move. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@elewysoffinchingefeld3066]

I love that you're giving the dimensions of your table as well as your height (and by crazy coincidence, we're just about the same height--I'm 5' 1/4"). Ergonomics is such an overlooked topic when it comes to designing your creative work spaces.

[@jayneterry8701]

The best part was when you showed the spot where your husband has his crafting.That you can share time near each other ❤ Wishing you happy move to Jersey....Jersey? You will definitely be classing up the place! 💗😁🎃

[@sarahmwalsh]

Your sewing room is truly lovely *and* well laid out work space and I hope you're able to make the new space as personalized and functional as this one is! And the swish of all those gorgeous silks being spread across the cutting table...that's the dream right there!!!

[@hah.365]

Wow! I realized your table was big, but not THAT big! I really like that you're making Felicity dresses, I always loved her blue party dress. Good luck with your move!

[@camille_la_chenille]

Wonmderful sewing space and fabric collection! I really appreciate how honest you are about the prices and the fact that you are lucky to afford these beautiful silks. I am in the very low budget, tiny sewing space category and I look at your working space with starry eyes and, yeah, I am happy for you that you had this dream sewing room for years!

[@tosewthyself]

I love that you also share crafting space with your husband!! My husband also play 40k and he works on models while I sew 😊 It's like you said- you're spending time together but still working on your separate hobbies. We even listen to audio books sometimes❤

[@Sewstine]

Oh that’s awesome!! :D he has his headphones while I listen to my romantasy books!

[@francesbritton]

The pink brocade would look fantastic as an Italian gown, the floral pattern works well with the style of the era. The moiré suits the Victorian style really well!

[@CAP198462]

8:36. I see your husband collects the 5th Legion Astartes, The Star Hunters or White Scars as they’re known post Horus Heresy. They were my first army before I got into the Harlequins and Drukhari.

[@Pammus_]

Holy bananas! Your craft room is bigger than my entire apartment! But love the set-up, absolutely gorgeous and very inspirational.

[@gabidoescosplaystuff]

Christine! I just started working in an anesthesiology department and I think of you ALL THE TIME! Unfortunately, I haven't found any sewists in the doctors I work with😂😂

[@badkitty13]

Wow, I'm blown away by your talent. I can't wait to watch all of your previous videos,I'm so glad I came across your channel tonight

[@bluewingsprite]

That pumpkin colored dress looks amazing on you.

[@zooh8017]

Dang that’s bigger than my whole family home! I always think having a constraint like smaller space breeds creativity and thoughtfulness though which you already have plenty of so I’m really excited to see how you set up your new space!

[@procrasticrafting]

That striped fabric is ✨stunning✨ can't wait to see the final dress you make with it!

[@MeeschaMouseArt]

This video is very apropos. I was just gifted from my family a 750 square foot sewing/craft space that was redone entirely just for me. I've always had just a small spare bedroom to accommodate all my hobbies and this is the first time where I am able to walk about and not knock anything over. I'm in the process of setting it all up but feel so fortunate to even call this place my own. I hope your new adventures lead you to great and happy beginnings and this space will surely give me inspiration for my own space!

[@beth_winegarner]

Hydration IS more important than aesthetics!

[@sewthroughtime]

the Mina dress out of moire!!! 😍😍😍 but really I think everyone our age wants that dress 😅🤣

[@greenecrayon]

I use my hospital stay containers all over my house too. (Though yours are from working and mine is from staying). They are perfect for keeping track of water intake and just simply easy to use/clean. They are my favorites!

[@lindasevers5109]

You make me feel better about my giant cutting table whose ten adjustable legs cost me $200. It and two long tops were from IKEA. There is room for two students at a time to cut--unless we are making circle skirts! :)

[@TiffMarche]

I love those cups too! I was in the hospital a few times last year (tongue cancer surgery, then revision surgery, and complications, etc., but I'm doing well now, and my last scan showed no evidence of disease). For quite a bit of it, I was NPO (couldn't have anything by mouth), but the patient techs kept my cup full anyways so my partner was always hydrated, which was so kind of them, and which I will always be grateful for.

[@bakerwannabe4435]

Your sewing room is wonderful and wow, the embroidery that you showed us is amazing. I’m a beginner sewist but you inspire me so much! I would love to sew historical garments one day. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@vysgiyi]

I totally get why you’re sad to leave that sewing space. It’s a good 200ft larger than my current apartment. And twice the size of my last apt. 😂😭super glad I took of knitting instead of sewing. Def space saving hobby in comparison. Lol. seriously that black and white fabric for the 1870s gown Is going to be complete fire on you. I love love love the fabric and the cut will look so good on you. I also can’t wait to see your felicity dresses! I loved her and Molly when I was a kid but josefina was my fave. Can’t wait for your next video! Good luck with the move! A

[@SueK2001]

What a dream sewing room! I had a fairly nice one when I was renting a flat from my girlfriend’s mom and I used the front sitting room as my sewing room. Lots of room for a big cutting table which doubled as my sewing table (a dining room table with extension from IKEA). Now in my own house, my sewing room is also my office (I work from home) with hardly any room for sewing. 😢. I hope your new home in New Jersey will have a big enough room for all your needs! 😊

[@lucycowie7245]

THE MURAL IS BEAUTIFUL

[@alexyordy8310]

Yes, join us east coasters! Congrats on the move and I hope you guys are very happy.

[@devh6168]

My sewing room is my computer desk with the keyboard moved :D :D But since it's in the living room, I do get to share the space with my husband while he plays guitar! (NYC living babee!!!)

[@jemima2879]

The separate boxes for the different projects in the go is such a good idea. I think I will incorporate a version of that for myself. I always need multiple projects at the same time so I can work on what I feel up to at the time.

[@thesavingsorceress]

I can’t wait for the AG holiday video. Felicity’s blue dress has been a dream project for me since childhood. I loved this sneak peek of your future projects and the sewing room tour! ✨

[@michellecornum5856]

WOW. I can't wait to see what replaces the cutting table. I hope your next sewing room is equally fabulous

[@autumn7143]

That room is amazing, but moves happen and I’m glad you’ll be closer to family.

[@lorrainemunoa791]

A video is a great memento of a place you loved! Thanks for sharing it with us. Also, Using the Hecking Huge Hospital Mugs is the right of every hospital professional. (Oooh also- I have that dress in the red! Only I am Very Busty so I had to move the lacing DOWN significantly by taking some of the loops out and putting them a lot lower. Good thing we around here like to sew!)

[@chalkncheeseneeds723]

I love how you say treadle and kitchen counter top! Best of luck with the move ,i hate moving lol

[@andreagoodman5768]

This is like a dream sewing room. Beautiful. I wish I could have a big room like this and if we ever move I will make sure we do. Currently I have taken over our formal dining room (which we never need) for my sewing/altar room. However, I have gotten a bigger machine and I always end up cutting larger pieces either on the floor or dining room table since my folding cutting table is not big enough. It would be nice to have this much space dedicated to costuming and crafts. Have a great move!

[@elfieblue3175]

Yes, yes, the sewing room is awesome. Major machine envy for your embroidery machine, too! Mine only has 4 needles. But I'm really here to see the fabric!

[@ColleenMarble]

The sewing room of dreams!

[@naorivas]

1. I love those linen dresses! 2. How do you organize your sewing life? I have like half a million projects going at once and I'm making poor progress on all. 3. Love your sewing room! Can't wait to see the next one.

[@ojoudrills3916]

The hair is so perfect

[@aperfecttouch]

A dream sewing/crafting space!! Wishing you a beautiful new space in your new home!

[@sandiemable]

Stunning fabrics! I am looking forward to your upcoming projects taking shape in your new sewing room. Wishing you a smooth move, xoxo's Sandie😊

[@My_mid-victorian_crisis]

Thank you. Your hobby space was/is amazing. Let's hear it for DreamBox; I have that same one in their sewing configuration. Best of luck with the move.

[@ShinySarah44]

Good luck with the move and setting up a new room! I love that you took the time to document this space as well for yourself (and us, the viewers :P), as it can make moving and future setups that bit easier.

[@kachnickau]

I just want to add All hail to hydration over aestetic anyday :D

[@rynrose81]

I’m working on creating a mini sewing area at the moment. It has to fit pretty much everything sewing wise 😅. It’s so interesting to see other people’s set ups and ponder how I might adapt parts of them and make them fit my tiny space. Good luck with the moving process!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’ve always been fascinated by your workspace so this is going to be such fun 👏🏽

[@across2726]

Such a gorgeous, efficient sewing room. It's as big as my living/dining room space 🤣 you're going to have so much fun redesigning a new sewing room though. Mine is only 8x10 but is perfectly fine. I put shelves on the walls to keep floor space as open as possible. Enjoy your new home ❤️❣️

[@sublimnalphish7232]

Well from one St Louisiana to another, we will miss you.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Wow, that really is quite a dream sewing room. It's nearly the size of my whole house!

[@shamancarmichael5305]

What an amazing space, but I'm sure you will make the new one just as beautiful and functional! Good luck with your moving adventure!

[@juliehenry6421]

Even though you'll be closer to NYC Garment District you'll also be close to some (@ 3hrs) awesome fabric stores in Lancaster County Pa - Many have beautiful Cottons and Zinks in Goodvillle has some beautiful 1800 reproduction material($5-12/yd)

[@akschauer]

I would love to see a video about the process of coloring the fabric with the Copic markers. Good luck with the move!

[@PatchworkPirate]

Yesssss! The bins for projects! I'm currently rocking a 4x2 kallax with two of the 63" x 31.5" Lagkapten table tops (and the IKEA adjustable legs). It has been exactly what my small sewing studio needed in terms of sewing and cutting table.

[@amcaart]

Woah I’m from St. Louis!! I hope the moving goes well, I love all of your videos!

[@teddy-3765]

Good luck with the move.

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

I am so envious of your sewing room! I have a room which is going to become my sewing room, but it’s only about 9’ x 11’! (And it needs a good clear out before I can use it!) Incidentally, I very much like the way you did your hair in this video.

[@Sewstine]

Thank you so much!!

[@emilenegalvin]

Good luck with the move. I hope you find a good house. I love when I go to someone’s home and can tell how they spend their time. I love the his and hers craft space - carpentry/ bike maintenance and sewing however are not as synergistic. Allocating floor space in line with your own values really speaks to me.

[@ele.ca99]

As awful as the end of GOT was the costume department still made some stunning pieces

[@Sewstine]

That’s exactly my issue! Bad writing but such exquisite costumes all the way to the last seconds of the show!

[@starsun6363]

@Sewstine I saw somewhere that everyone put in their all for the last season of game of thrones.... except the writers.😫

[@jeannesmith5272]

I love your sewing room and am looking forward to seeing your new sewing room at your new home.

[@trackqueen42]

Whoa whoa whoa…Sewstine has been in my area this whole time!!!!!! I’m in St Louis! Sorry to see you go and wish you luck in Jersey!

[@KellyAK]

What a wonderful room, thank you for the tour. And I cannot wait to see the Mina dress!! Good luck with your move 😊

[@deborahsorgi8515]

Best of luck on your move. 😊your videos

[@tigerpunk1996]

I can't wait for Minas dress!

[@kirstenpaff8946]

Good luck with the move and the new sewing space.

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I also have a little table, too, made from a treadle base!

[@TheMayu]

Good luck with the move! Packing (and then unpacking) the sewing room is always the hardest. I moved a few months ago and am still figuring out where I put everything 😂

[@jocelynleung7480]

Omg Id love to see the Felicity project!!!!

[@dawnvickerstaff9148]

I love this room and what you do in it. I can't wait to see the new room in the new house in your new State! All the best wishes!

[@anniehague1554]

You are so much fun! I have used that table design (also) for a bed. The best for function, increasing usable square footage, ease of use, general happiness. Oh, and dead or alive, you (nearly) win the fabric collection contest (Official rule: Who ever has the most when they die-- wins.) Uhh, your fabric.... woweee. The best of regards for your move.

[@pagodrink]

Lovely space you have! It's really cute that you have your respective craft stations next to each other, hopefully I'll get to have that with my future spouse someday lol Good luck on the move!

[@brendaschmidt9411]

Embroidered jacket is fabulous! Inspires me sooooo much.

[@SoldaTejada]

Christine, have you seen the empress on Netflix ? OMG, her clothes are amazing!

[@elsa_g]

BEAUTIFUL coat!!

[@marjoriebardwell2823]

Good luck with your move❤

[@aliceadler4569]

Your little Knightly looks just like my little Spencer!!! I spend a lot of time in New Jersey. I now live in Alabama but I travel there to see in-laws. Will you work at either Overlook or St Barnabus or do you know yet??? I hope y’all get settled well!!! Enjoy yourselves. As a matter of fact, Lee & I lived in St Louis before we moved to New Jersey back in 1988. Enjoy. Love your channel!!! ♥️♥️🤗🤗🌺🌺

[@mohmeegaik6686]

Sewstine you are amazingly talented I just subscribed.

[@sarahgoetz1170]

Thanks for sharing, I had so many questions about your cutting table so it was wonderful to see. I really hope you do go ahead and make the Sansa dress too.

[@Cool-eo1oe]

I am excited for East Coast Fabric Videos!

[@roxiepoe9586]

I hope your new home brings you joy. Best wishes.

[@liampittman9740]

A hydrated queen. I'm gonna go refill my water glass in your honor, ma'am.

[@moniquerigling3577]

Thanks for the tour and good luck with your move!

[@romycollado9100]

Love your videos! Also, I’d there a pattern for that orange dress??? It’s gorgeous!!!!

[@mdldgsc]

I am SO excited for your future projects 😊 loved the fabric tour!

[@mariannerady1137]

Just saw your VICE piece, absuloutely happy you have a channel here! Starting to binge watch your videos today

[@bycarolinakobayashi]

Definitely using this video as a reference for a future sewing room for myself! 😍

[@thirza9508]

Holy moly, you have an aboslute fortune in sewing supplies haha! Also, just FYI: treadle is pronounced with the ea sounding like how it sounds in thread.
