What a MESS?! | Cleaning my Sewing & Costume Spaces - 2024

[@basementdwellercosplay]

Im watching this to inspire me as i clean my room and sewing closet, cleaning videos like this really help motivate my brain to actually clean and organize

[@KirileeCosplay]

I’m so glad it could help! I find when I watch the same sort of thing it helps me too

[@ladytaliastorm8882]

This has inspired me! I have been planning a re-vamp of my sewing room for some time. Even have the new shelving units purchased AND... still in their boxes. Well, hubby just promised to help this next week - very excited. Thanks for all your positive vibes!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Gesss! Create the sewing room of your dreams!

[@signegeist]

😂my new still boxed shelves are hopefully getting set up tomorrow!🤞. But this is inspiring me to organize.

Me, watching: "yayyy, floor is cleared!" Kirilee: proceeds to dump the wigs on the floor :))) wooops! Amazing amount of work you've done there. It's super difficult to keep a space uncluttered when you're constantly using the supplies and costumes. The state of it just shows you're enjoying your creative process and using the results of it with love.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Hahaha I promise I cleaned it right up! I just had the space! And thank you

My grandmother, b. 1900, was a photo colorist in Texas when she was a young mother. It was work she could do at home with her children about. She also worked as a milliner, kept a boarding house, and even had a still in the basement during prohibition. Industrious and talented in so many ways. :)

[@KirileeCosplay]

That’s very cool!

[@scrapbookinglife]

What an awesome story!

I went to a craft de-stash sale today. Managed to sell some of my surplus supplies, now I need to reorganise and tidy up my craft room (it doesn't look like I took anything out of it, haha. Thanks for the inspiration to keep chipping away at it :) I have a photo of me in my TARDIS dress in the same TARDIS picture frame too! Great to see :D

[@KirileeCosplay]

You can do it! Good luck!

[@gigglepantsiii9350]

Thank you for sharing this process, I know how rough it can be to reclaim sewing space after it gets upended. I'm still slowly working on getting my new sewing space set up after my move. I used your last fabric organizing video for inspiration on how to organize my own stash and so far it's working awesome for me!

[@KirileeCosplay]

You can do it! It is a big task setting up a sewing space. Good luck

[@MakerFishmeal]

This video was incredibly satisfying. Great heckin job 🎉

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you!

[@lilalicat32]

The rock prop would make a great art piece for your craft space. Maybe just the rocks with a photo of you as Toph in the center.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Yeh, I am not quite ready to forgive its betrayal of me in Chicago.

[@lilalicat32]

​@@KirileeCosplay Understandable. It looked totally awesome though and you worked so hard on it.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you :)

[@autumn7143]

This was awesome to watch. I’m wondering though if you might need to get an extra rolling wrack for hanging. You could also add a shoe shelf at the bottom.

[@KirileeCosplay]

I’ll keep that in mind

[@marjonantoons7538]

I just cleaned, reorganized and added a bunch of little drawers for all my haberdasheries in my work space and I am so happy with it. And it took me a couple of months to work up to it too... But what a joy, when it is done, right?!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Exactly! :)

[@bekytg9393]

Thank you for sharing your journey of tackling the sewing areas. It may have been a big task, but it's so worth it in the end. Um, just a little tip. It looked like you put your posters up with bluetac. I recommend you don't. Take it from someone who used to put up prints with bluetac. Over a long time. The oil from the bluetac stained the paper and ruined the print. Don't want that to happen to your beautiful prints. Keep up the great work.

[@KirileeCosplay]

I know, I need to find an alternative

[@Reads_alot]

Could you put any links to where you got your shelves, tables, and other organizational things, because both my room and sewing room never look clean due to the large amount of fabric and projects in them, and my mom always gets on me about it😮‍💨 the ones at Ikea are a little too pricey for me and I don’t know which ones to get on Amazon😅

[@KirileeCosplay]

Sorry - I got my shelves from ikea

[@Reads_alot]

@@KirileeCosplay oof, ok thanks anyway😊

[@sakura851]

what kind of book did you write

[@KirileeCosplay]

A historical romance :) I have a video about writing the first and second drafts :)

[@rodentary]

What about putting the dance costumes in a shadow box with a pic of each in there too

[@KirileeCosplay]

For now they are away :) Im happy with that

[@wolkehauch7445]

Are you retiring Toph or just the rock prop? My heart skipped a beat when you said you weren't gonna use it again.

[@KirileeCosplay]

I don’t foresee me putting on toph again anytime soon. She’s a lot lol. But there is no way I’m getting rid of her. The rock prop however../ that will probably go soon

[@rodentary]

Also did i miss why you dont have extra storage or a hanging rack outside of the closet in the back room? It seems to be just cosplay storage.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Because it is still a working space. I want it to look neat for filming videos in (or at least try :))

[@JenInOz]

Hope you enjoy seeing Six tonight!

[@KirileeCosplay]

It was fabulous!
