ORGANIZING my sewing & filming space! + my fabric collection

- Today's video is a really exciting one (and a LONG ONE!)- we are once again organizing my sewing room! This time around, I did a big declutter of my fabric stash and showed you my fabric collection in-depth. I also re-arranged my room to have a nice filming setup. I also purchased a new sewing desk, put up art on the wall, and more! It was quite a big transformation, and lots of fun!
The quality of this video is not ideal. I was mostly filming on my phone and also had a problem with my camera during a few scenes (yellow/orange footage and flickering lighting). I have since fixed my camera settings and my next video should have improved quality. Thanks for understanding

Made by Mel is a space all about being creative. Thanks for following along! - Jak na to + styl
Hi everyone! Today's video is really long, feel free to use the chapters to skip to the part that interests you most! Thanks for watching:)
Very nice! I love those Butterick photos. You have a nice fabric collection also. Looks perfect.👗🧵🪡🥰
Thank you, I love them too!😄
Hi Mel, Your space is looking really lovely. Thanks for taking us along. :o)
Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you like the space!
Nice job great work space neat and well lighted 😊😊
Thanks, glad you like it! I am lucky to have the big windows for sure!
Looks so sharp Mel!!!
Thank you so much! I'm very happy with it :)
ha ha like me, all my stuff all over the place, some say it is a sign of a genius at work (well i am sticking to it :) - it is normal! great video! thanks for sharing
Oh, definitely a sign of genius at work! 😄Let's go with that :) Thanks for watching!
Beautiful space. For the cotton poplin, if they do have a little stretch, SOI Ultimate trousers or similar. The green floral you showed would look awesome paired with the jumper you're wearing ❤❤❤
That is a great idea, I wasn't thinking about bottoms! Thanks 😄
I need this motivation! I also work from home in my office/sewing room.
Having the two desks to separate my work from sewing has really helped me!
Idea for the cotton poplins: perhaps a vest (possibly quilted) or a waistcoat? The Gilbert V-neck buttoned waistcoat by PatternCos would be fun in a poplin with floral pattern! For a quilted vest, Purlsoho has a free pattern which could also be a great option.
Thank you so much for the ideas!
Nice reorganization! The room is great space to create. I too printed out fashion magazine prints for my sewing room wall decor. I used cheap dollar store frames though. Yours look so much better.
I know this video is old but you might put your scrap basket on top of the drawer unit next to your desk. It’s pretty and decorative enough to work well there. Could also hang your rulers from S-shaped IKEA pan hooks (for pot racks) on the side rails of that same storage unit. If you hung the rulers on the desk side, they’d be unseen and inconspicuous.
I watched your Everything 2024 video and scrolled back looking for an introduction video but couldn’t find anything. I was especially curious to hear how long you’d been sewing and who taught you. I was able to glean from your other content that you are doing a lot firsts (coat/bias skirt). You do beautiful work. Which is especially commendable if you’re a newbie.
Thank you! I actually got my frames from the thrift store - if you check often, I find there is often nice frames! Thanks for the suggestions - I am always trying to improve my sewing space. You are right that I don't really have an intro video on my channel - maybe I need to make one soon 😊 I have been sewing now for about 4-5 years, and I am mostly self-taught (luckily there are such talented individuals online to learn from!). Even though I have been sewing for several years, I find I am a slow sewer compared to many others...I don't make as many projects in a month as others. So I think because of that, lots of different projects are still "firsts" for me. Thanks for watching 😊
Idea for boiled wool (if you don’t end up using it) is you could donate to an Indigenous program (like an art program, school or a friendship centre) because we use it to make Vamps on top of moccasins & mukluks!
I love this idea! Thank you so much I will keep this in mind :)
What a way to go. The room turned out great, seems so much lighter with great views to add.
Thank you very much! Yes the room is so much brighter and open...glad you liked it 😊
I didn’t even know this many fabrics existed
🤣
What a great space! This was a lot of work to plan out and implement. Fantastic job. 👏
So glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
This just the inspiration I needed to go and organize my sewing space! TFS!
So glad it was inspiring! Have fun organizing 😊
I wanted to see more about your filming set up
Thanks for the feedback, maybe I can include this in a future video!
What a great place to sew! I love how much natural light you get ☀️ And your new filming area is perfect ✨
For the cotton poplins: another jumpsuit? Or a more fitted style skirt, like a midi length pencil skirt? I could see the yellow one as something like that eg. Pattern Scout has a video on making a skirt with buttons up the front. Maybe shorts/culottes for the green?
Enjoy your new room ☺️
Thank you, yes I am so lucky with the big windows! And I love the idea of a jumpsuit for those fabrics! Thank you for the suggestions :)
Alex Judge just made a video about the Ose Delano dress pattern that might be good for your cotton fabric with body.
I just checked it out, thanks for the recommendation!
