Your sewing room is lovely! Very well thought out. Of course I want to see your room! It’s kind of crazy, here I am in Omaha Nebraska, half a world away but I can still have a look at your space. Isn’t it wonderful, the world we live in. Seeing how other people organize encourages me to get into my space and get it done! I love your pink walls. I saw your previous video with your pink walls and painted my bedroom walls a similar color. See, you are an influencer beyond sewing!❤😮. My patterns are a mess! I try to keep up with them, I usually can get my hands on which pattern I want but I have a very hard time culling my patterns and it can be overwhelming.
Yes how amazing is it that we can show things internationally! 🥳
A great sewing space. That little padded box with a handle is a sewing box. Your sewing space is an inspiration. Thankyou.
Yes! Thank you!
I have just finished my sewing space I have the Kallax like you. I put Kmart storage boxes and drawers in it to hold fabric, buttons and sewing feet. I took inspiration from your sewing room.
Nice sewing room. Amazingly organic.
Thank you 😊
Bless you Ruan, what a brilliant space & your organisation of all your lovely things is really inspirational! Thanks so much for letting us into your sanctuary
Thank you 🤩
You are an inspiration in “sew” many ways! I love your humor too. Thank you for sharing everything and hello from northern Illinois USA 😊
Oh thank you! ☺️
Ruan I do remember your sewing room make over videos. Especially you cutting table which is stunning. I have to say your draws are ridiculously neat. I think they require some messing up or at least some sneaky snacks in there😂😂😊❤
He he. There are usually secret snacks in there but I’ve eaten them 🤪🤪
Yes my cutting table can be a dumpster. I have to work hard to clean it off daily. I love your fabric storage. It looks like part of the decor in the room. I have mine in the closet. Your room is awesome. The table is a treasure!
Thanks so much 😊
Hi , what a lovely sewing space you have. You are soooo tidy. Thank you for the tour, very interesting. Happy sewing xxx
Thank you 🤩
I love the cube storage.
Pattern storage is the bane of my life. I have tried several systems, but none worked as well as I liked. I have recently culled my patterns, but I still have so many and will keep buying more! I am lucky to have my own swing room, an extension built onto the side of our home and it's a good size, 12'6" x 16', but it's stuffed and I've overflowed into the garage conversion! I have several hobbies besides dressmaking, quilting, wet felting, mixed media collages, machine embroidery, and beading. My storage arrangements are inadequate, but I have no more space to increase it. I have a Horn Hi-Lo cutting table, purchased pre-loved, which is amazing. It's on wheels, but I have too many Really Useful boxes of fabric underneath it to move it, oops. It also tilts so it can be almost flat against the wall, but it's always in use. After watching your tour, I plan to reorganise my drawers and Ikea Kallax unit to better use the space and make what I use most frequently more easily accessible. Thank you :-)
How amazing! Must be hard when you have some many hobbies!
My husband made me a cutting table from daughter’s old kitchen table. Right height for cutting and solid board over one end. Some cup hooks and all my quilting rulers and French curves hang there. Mine is also on casters. Very true it’s a dumping space if I’m not careful. Love your room.❤
Can’t beat a cutting table!
Your sewing room is lovely and very organised, I just love a good rummage through people's drawers.🤣🏴
😂😂
Have just discovered you...loving your videos....and your charming accent...and personality......I'm from Ontario Canada..... your sewing room is inspirational.... I'm just getting back into sewing at 70 yrs old....keep up your videos.... will faithfully follow you....❤
Welcome!! So glad you've joined us! And so glad you're getting back into sewing - age is just a number!!
Well done Ruan, wish I was as organised and I have a dedicated sewing room too. Yours makes mine look like a jungle! Trouble is I’d rather be sewing than sorting and tidying. But you have inspired me to do something about it!
Yes I’m the same but if it’s too messy it makes me not want to sew so it’s a Catch 22 for me 😂
I never tire of looking at everyone’s sewing rooms! Love yours! The ironing board is awesome! ❤ Diann
I’m the same!
Thanks for the tour Ruan, we’re in the process of turning our spare bedroom into a craft/office/spare room so basically a do everything room, I’m hoping that there will be room for a cutting table. 🤞 💙🧶🌈🍓
Ooooh - fingers crossed!!!
A trick for you which might be. Useful.. on your cutting table the side you can fix some command hooks your long rulers can hang there as generally there’s a hole in them for hanging. You have a great space. Mine needs a tidy and I’ll be doing that today. I spill out into other rooms and I need to contain it some how. If I got rid of my sofa which I love I’d have a better organised space. But I spend a lot of time in there 😊
We’re very lucky aren’t we. Always so hard to keep tidy though 🙈
Hi Ruan, I loved seeing your sewing space. You have it setup so well & you are so organised & tidy! Love it 😻
Aww thanks lovely 🥰
I am seriously impressed with how neat and organized everything is! I don't have a sewing space currently, I'm always making g a massive mess in the living room 😂 but someday 🤞 Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Love this video. Thanks for sharing. I have been looking forward to having a nose around. You are very organised. Love it. Can you tell me what the mat is under your chair please? I have just done my sewing room and opted for carpet but it can be hard work sliding around on my chair. ❤
It’s a floor mat from IKEA 👍🏼
Beautifully organized room Ruan. Thanks for sharing it. xx Karen
Thank you!
Just look at all that organization! Lovely room filled with all the things that make us happy. Happy sewing!
Thank you lovely lady xx
I have put hooks on the side of my cutting table to hang my rulers, I would post a pic but not an option. Anyway it works a treat
👍🏼😊
Your room is perfect... Thanks for showing us.. I so appreciate it..
You are so welcome! Thank you 🤩
Your sewing room is so much tidier than mine you are so organised. Can you tell me where you got your cutting mat from please. 😊
Thank you! I got mine from First Mats 👍🏼
What a fab sewing room not jealous at all 😂😂. i love being nosy and seeing other sewist's spaces great for ideas to steal!!! x
I love to nosey too!
Great to have a nosey - loving your set up and have decided that I need a Steve 👍🏻. One thing puzzles me though: where is your chocolate stash??? 😜😜
Good question! 😂😂
I love the bin for putting in the pattern pieces as you use them. I always just leave them on any available surface for days on end and let them get mixed up with the previous or next project and then it's a pain to put them away because it's a huge overwhelming mess. It's possible that I have a tendency to make life harder than it has to be.😂
That made me giggle 🤭
Fantastic room. It’s great having a room dedicated to sewing, I’m lucky to have one too.
It really is!
Hi Ruan.
Your sewing room is lovely.
Thank you for the tour.
Hx 💕🧶🧵🇬🇧
Thank you so much 😊
What a fab sewing room Ruan 😊. Your cutting table is ingenious! Thanks so much for sharing, lots of useful ideas 😊
You are so welcome!
Love having a sticky at other peoples sewing spaces. Your cutting table is very cool. Also, your stash is not big at all.
Thank you ☺️
Love your room. Really looks well laid out. Thank you for sharing. I keep cards and wedding invitations I tuck them away in various drawers throughout the house. Always a pleasure to come across and re read.
Oh that’s so lovely 🥰
Your stash is just right - larger than mine, smaller than Rachel’s😅. Thanks for sharing your space. It’s lovely! 💕🇨🇦
He he! Thank you x
Great tour of your sewing room, so organised & it must be really relaxed sewing in there with everything to hand. Really impressed Ruan. I just wish I was as organised. 😊
Thank you so much!
Lovely sewing room Ruan. What a great cutting table - your husband is definitely a keeper 😂.
I’ve got hooks on my peg boards over my cutting table for my rulers cos I’m always losing them or knocking them off the table. I also have two bins - one for rubbish (threads, overlocking emptying etc) and one for recyclables. It means I can empty my bins straight into the right wheelie bin and no sorting! 😂 love your needle storage from pattern trace xx
Sounds perfect 👌🏼
I went back to watch your other two videos and the progress, excellent. You have done a very impressive job of organizing your sewing room. I had an ah ha moment when you shared your interfacing by your cutting table. Mine is I. A plastic box and difficult to get to so I’m going to move it. My cutting table is 40” x 70” with 5 cabinets I bought at Lowe’s (like Home Depot) under it. I used a solid door, padded it and put a huge mat on it. And yes it does become a dumping ground. I live in the central Arizona, USA. Mile high. And we actually had snow tonight. So cold. Love your videos. Thank you
Thank you!
I love how you are so organised with that touch of disorganisation/things need doing - to keep it real. I do like the smaller waffle folders for my patterns - the thick ones with press-studs bulge too much for my liking whereas the ones with the zips [A4 - I see you use A3 size for your projects - as I do] fit the patterns well and I slip them into my A5 project to use. I also use the same folder for notions and then when the garment is made the pattern is ready for filing again. I also like a set square for checking the grain and bias cuts but you might use some quilting tools for that. Your cutting table is amazing - I would love that. You are a lucky duck 😎- thanks for sharing your space,❤
Thank you so much. Yes I’m incredibly lucky 😊
Your table is perfect for a projector!!
It is!
What a fab room. Can’t wait to have a huge table again x
Not long til you move 😜
Great setup! I’m envious of how organized you have everything. 👍🏻
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your room. I can see why you love it. Your cutting table is amazing and I liked hearing how you are keeping patterns.
You are so welcome!
Your sewing room Ruan is amazing and so well organized! It has definitely inspired me to sort mine out as it is so messy and I can never find anything😂 your big cutting table is fabulous and your drawers are so tidy😃 Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jane. I love it SO much!
Beautiful and organised sewing space 😍 The perfect productive space. Hope you had a fantastic trip to Stitch, it was great to say hi to you there in person!
I did thank you. Hope you did too 😍
Such a gorgeous space! I dream of having a cutting table - maybe one day! xx
You’re young enough to cut out on the floor hon 🤪🤪
I do love a good nosey Ruan. Your room is fab and so well organised. I love the tip of using the storage box under the cutting table to chuck your scraps in. I'm gonna steal that! Thanks for sharing 👌😻
He he. You’ll be able to see it in the flesh soon 🤪
@@theyorkshiresewgirl Indeed! Looking forward to catching up xx
Your room is most impressive and so organised.
Thank you ☺️
Just love your sewing room. Thank you for taking us on a tour of it. x
You are so welcome!
I really love your room! Nice organization. Sewing sanctuary. 😄
Thank you! 😊
Loved your tour and all your storage ideas. I recently moved all my patterns (pdf and other envelopes) into the plastic sleeve/envelopes. It is heaven. I have combined similar patterns into one - such as the boxy roll necks, one-piece bathing suits, bras, favourite woven elastic waist pants, etc. The plastic envelopes are pretty sturdy and should last a long while.
Great idea!
Love your sewing room. It’s well thought out and cozy. I love my sewing room too. I’m still tweaking it but the flow of the space is great. I wish you many happy hours of sewing 😊. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
Thanks so much! 🥰
Love it! I too am very lucky to have my sewing space too.
It’s such a lucky thing to have isn’t it 🥰
What a wonderful sewing space. Thank you for sharing
Thank you ☺️
It's a lovely room, and very well organised. ❤
Thank you! 😊
Love your sewing room Ruan. I’ve got the tiniest box room but it’s all mine and I love it. I’ve just changed my pdf storage system from plastic wallets so I have loads that are nearly new going spare if you’d like them. I’m happy to send them to you if you want them xx
Oh that’s so lovely of you Pam. I’ve bought lots already though which are waiting to be filled! x
Thanks for sharing your fabulous sewing room Ruan, some brilliant ideas for storing lots of bits and bobs that I can use 😍 absolutely love the little needle cushion for the needle in your machine, I always think I will remember whats in there but seldom do 😱.
Yes! I’m the same. Always think I’ll remember 🙈🙈
You have a great space, and so neat!!!! Mine is usually a mess! I do try and tidy up in between projects.
It’s so hard to stay disciplined isn’t it 🙈
What a great room you have Ruan I can’t think of anything else that you might need, it’s perfect. I’m squished in part of a bedroom but I’m not complaining as I feel very lucky to have a space to sew. ❤❤
Yes I’m very very lucky 🍀
Lovely to see your sewing studio! I can very highly recommend a fluorscent pendant light over your cuttingtable. The type with two long ”tubes” that light up both upwards and downwards. They’re usually used in offices and workshops but you can get hold of them second hand if you keep an eye out. You have to draw a cord from your ceiling light fixture and then it hangs from two hooks. It was a complete game changer when I got one of them on Facebook market!
I thought I give you a little warning about having your fabrics in open shelfs….. I have noticed that they get bleach lines along the folds from the daylight…. I have doors on my shelfs but sometimes I let fabrics lie out in the open for a while before I stash them away, and that happend to me, so I’ve learned my lesson. The Kallax have doors that you can add afterwards.
Yes luckily my room doesn’t get much light so my fabrics should be ok. Love the idea about the light over the cutting table x
Love your sewing room
Thank you ☺️
Wow such a beautiful sewing space,
Thank you! 😊
Your room is beautiful. You are very organisedx
Thank you so much 😊
Loved the tour and your sewing space is a thing of beauty 😍
However the very best bit was the ironing board recommendation, I’ve been looking to buy a new one for ages but couldn’t decide… saw yours, ordered one yesterday, picked it up this morning, well chuffed, thank you! 😊 x
Oh I’m so glad! I absolutely love mine!
What a great sewing room, I have a cutting table a lot like yours and I hang my large rulers on the end of my table with command hooks, my table has two Kallax units sandwiched together, so the ends are solid. I have my smaller rulers that would be perfect on a wall shelf, thanks for the idea 😊.
Sounds great!
Oh so many ideas in my head now.Thank you Ruan (I think. 😂) Anyway already looked into the Ironing board . Then perhaps I could flip my Kallix unit and make use of it another way? So it goes on ❤
Go for it!
Wow you sewing room is so organized! My drawers are a mess.
Mine were really messy too but now I’m trying my hardest to keep them tidy 😂
Awesome room love you cutting table !!
The cutting table is amazing!!
Love your sewing room it's amazing. I have a nice little sewing corner in my dining room which works well. If I want my own sewing room I'll have to get one of the kids to move out 😂 Enjoy the Stitch festival & post a vlog if you can but most importantly have a great time
Ha ha. Thank you ☺️
Your room is wonderful!!!!
Thank you ☺️
Love it such a beautifully organised space xx
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your sewing room with us. It is amazing! Mine is in need of a major makeover. I would love to know where you purchased your peg board. That is my next project for my room, there are so many kinds! 🤔🤪
Thank you! My peg boards are from Ikea 😊
Thanks for sharing your lovely room! Would love to understand what cutting down your cutting mat involved. For my rulers, I made a custom wall hanging with pockets for each of my different rules. Sorry I can't share a photo here!
My husband literally did it with heavy duty scissors. It hurts his hands a little but he said it was a small price to pay to see how happy I was 🥰
Loving the organisation xxx
Thank you 🤩
Hi Arian, I have put small hooks and some are small nails on the end of one of my units and I hang all my rulers so they stay straight and don’t get any bends in them. I love your table its wonderful to be able to push back against the wall, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Thank you ☺️
Hi Ruan, not sure why spell check changed your name to that weird name 🤷♀️
Absolutely love your sewing room!
Thank you! 😊
What are you doing, posting new vlogs when I’m meant to be getting ready to head to Londontown for the Stitch Festival? 😂
Have fun at the show
😂😂
Hi Ruan, love your sewing space, I recently moved to a 1 bedroom unit and have no space for anything. Hope your weather is better, still a cold spell in Canada
Oh I hope you manage to still sew though 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Oh you should put the pin cushions on some display shelves ❤
They are on shelves 😊
Your room is wonderful but those drawers are way too neat!
😂😂
Oh OK great I'll look again, thank you
Thank you for sharing!❤
You are so welcome!
I can’t believe there is no treat drawer! I can’t be the only one. 😢 lovely room
😂😂😂. Unusually have snacks in my drawer but I’ve eaten them all 🤪
I love your machine feet storage. I've no idea what half of mine are 😂
Ha ha. Some of my writing has come off over time so I’m not sure either! 😂
What kind of ironing board do you have? I really like the look of it. Loved seeing your sewing room-you are so organized!
Thank you. This is my ironing board:

😊
You are so organised you have an amazing room. Where is your floor protector from please? x
Thank you. It’s from IKEA x
loved this episode 😍
Thank you ☺️
But where are your secret snacks, Ruan? 😂
I think I’ve eaten them all 😮😂
Hi Ruan, loved the tour around your sewing room. I need to be more organised in mine! How have you attached the thread holder to the pegboards? I have a small thread holder but haven't figured out a way to fix it on the pegboard yet 😀
Thank you! I have little hooks that you can get from ikea that fit into the peg board - then my spool holders have little hangers on the back of them so they just hang off them - I hope that makes sense!!
Loved the tour. Got some great ideas from you. I'm hoping to be getting a craft room this year when my son leaves home. Please could you share the company that sells the cut to size cutting mats. I plan to make a cutting table similar to yours. I have my whole room planned out and my son hasn't even left yet! He's in the process of buying his own home. X
Ooh lovely. The company that cut them to size is called Rhino Mats x
@@theyorkshiresewgirl Thank you. You had so many comments I didn't think you'd even get to mine. X
@@GagaKnits no problem. I didn’t get mine from there in the end as they wouldn’t cut the green grid ones down to size for some reason 🤷🏻♀️
Ruan, can I ask what make your ironing board is please. I am looking for a new one and that looks ideal x
Yes it’s this one 😊
www.argos.co.uk/product/6182221
Your sewing room looks very pretty and functional. Do you always tidy as you go to keep it so organised? I usually have to do a complete reset after a few weeks of making a mess in my crafting space.
I’m the same! It gets to a point where I stop being creative so I have a big clear up. I do try to keep on top of it though but every now and again I get super messy 🤪
Love your sewing room! That little pillow to know what needle you have in your sewing machine is brilliant! Where did you get it?
Thank you. It was a gift I’m afraid. I’ve not seen one before 🙈
@@theyorkshiresewgirl too bad 🤷 I could make one with textile marker 🤔
What a lovely sewing room you have! Thanks for sharing. Would love to know where I can find a sewing machine needle cushion - what a brilliant idea! I always forget what size needle I left on my machine x
I was gifted it so not sure where you can buy one I’m afraid x
Just so Jealous of your space 😂 it’s so organised lol x
I’m so lucky Becs. I honestly am thankful every day 🙌🏼
You had a nice container for your thread and bobbin, it looked like it might be for Gutermann thread, can you tell me where you got that? It was in one of the drawers.
Yes it’s from Patterntrace 😊
Where did you get your wooden spool holders which fit the peg boards please ? I love the C5 string and washer gusset brown envelopes to store my patterns. They are really hard wearing and they would still fit your existing storage baskets from IKEA too xx
I just bought standard wooden ones and then hung them on the peg board with hooks from Ikea (hope that makes sense!)
Hi Ruane - just love your sewing room 😊. We’re busy house hunting and one of my most important wants is a sewing room !!! Do you know the dimensions of your room please - also what’s the dimensions of your fab sewing table - many thanks in anticipation Cathy B x
Oooh how exciting! My room is about 2.3m by 5m 👍🏼
❤
😊
I’m so jealous Ruan. Your sewing room is fantastic and so well organised xx ps, can’t find the link for serious readers, could you send it. Thank you xxx❤
Here you go lovely 🥰
try.seriousreaders.com/pages/sr517
A lovely space and very organised. Where do you get those plastic zip up project bags. Really love your videos😊
I got mine from Amazon. If you search for A3 zipper bag lots of different options come up x
