Sewing Room {Reveal}


     After weeks of reorganizing my sewing room, I'm finally finished.  I love this space; an old covered porch with 9 windows, an enormous amount of light.  My sweetie installed a very old radiator to keep it nice and toasty out there during the winter.



I basically removed everything that I did not plan on using within the next 6 months.  The cleared white shelf in the corner is ready for fresh new fabric to arrive.  The vintage green table was just found, the perfect size for cutting. My three machines now have their own spot, no longer moving from place to place.
The two rugs, one is from my aunt's old shop, the other is Rachel Ashwell.




Just a few of my many books, I need to bring the others out soon for reference and inspiration.




My favorite sewing machine in the whole world...this baby has never let me down!




The bag I made for myself for Christmas serves as my briefcase. I love the colors! Pattern and fabric, Amy Butler.





Stash of thread, taylor's chalk and vintage findings.




From Danita, "We share the same heart."  I love her, she is so sweet and talented. Perfect for me and my little girlies and our shared heart!

 

Jars of pens, knitting needles, buttons, brushes and wool.

So now I'm ready for 2012!

Have a great day!

My Sewing Room Makeover - My Inspiration

For the last 3 days, I've been cleaning out my sewing room. I'm too embarrassed to show you what it looked like, but imagine this:

                            "On this episode of Hoarders..."  I've never actually watched that show until last week, amid our new founded Netflix addiction, thus the inspiration to clean out my sewing room . "This 32 year old woman is in danger of being buried alive! Towers of fabric, piles of patterns, stacks of haberdashery, fill her space. Haul in the dumpsters,  start a fire, call the psych ward, because this woman has issues!"


Lets just say did not look like this:

Not even close....

These last two rooms are giving me tons of inspiration.  Although my space not as large, I love the functionality of the one above and the color of the one below. 

I also love that all supplies are out in the open here.  Open shelving and baskets.  I like to see everything spread out in front of me when working...hence the issue at hand. Ahem.

I love those little lights on the work table, ah, that table, it's so cute!

So I'm going to go back to work, organizing and rearranging...I'll post some pictures of my progress soon!
