After 40 years of using the dining room a section of the family room, which I was booted out of, and relegated to a corner of my living room, I have a sewing room. It's tiny but oh my gosh I love it. Your room is just to pretty to work in. I'd get so upset it got dirty.
I used to have a dedicated sewing space that had been a 2 car garage that my husband enclosed as another room. We had a separate stand alone garage. I loved that space but had to give it up when I had to move to take care of my father (my husband had since passed away). I love that this lady has her passions so accessible. People who do not understand the fabric addiction would call us "hoarders". But we are not, we are just crafters.
I love this video. Thank you, Kathy Thompson-for your comment about fabric addiction. I am planning to move and one thing I wanted was a "Craft Room". I have a special needs daughter that loves crafting. So we have a lot a lot of stuff. I hate it when people say or use that word "hoarder"
@@1215mdpc I hate that too! I had to give up a lot of my craft supplies when I moved, and some people would tell me that I still have too much.. but do they have something that they ¨hoard¨?
Well, to be fair, we ARE hoarders…. Some of us have stashes we will or could never use up in our lifetime and yet we do keep on buying more, just to have… and hoard… which IS the definition. I do prefer “collector” myself though. 😜 It’s just a shame that the word has been corrupted by calling people “hoarders” who have filled their houses with rubbish, grime and filth….whether it be from laziness or mental health problems… and which looks nothing like our organised, clean stashes of fabric and notion and tool collections… they’re not even in the same realm of “hoarding” and shouldn’t be referred to as such. We do need a new word for us!
Your room is HEAVEN, and your vintage quilt + feed sack cabinet took my breath away! All I kept thinking throughout this video is “How I would love to have a crafting friend like you living close to me. We’d have a ball in each other’s sewing room!” Unfortunately, not many people seem to be into the variety of things I like to make. It’s uncanny how we seem to enjoy the same type of projects, even down to the rag-dolls, and that we both have several projects on the go at any given time - some going on for years. At the same time, you’ve given me hope in knowing that there are creatively likeminded people out there. Thank you x
What a wonderful wonderful room. I could stay a whole day in that room just looking around at all the wonderful things you have in. That is a happy place
First of all, thank you for inviting us into the privacy of your home...I CRINGE every time someone making a video feels the need to say “don’t judge or don’t hate” because people feel entitled to be hateful 🙄. Kudos to your hubby for his patience, and to you for your organization. Fun fact: I just read your daughter’s comment that she lived in this room for years, that made my heart smile! Other fun fact: I’m very happy to learn that I’m not the only one who keeps “teeny tiny scraps”! Love that you have the space to keep out and see everything that makes you happy. New subscriber, looking forward to enjoying your talent and learning💗💗💗
Thank you for the sweet comment. I wanted to share my organizing ideas, but I didn't expect such vitriol from people about what I choose to do in my own house. How small does a scrap have to get before you throw it out? As long as it's not unraveling into non-existence, I say it might still have some life left!
You might now ever see this but I love your room! I'm close to getting my craftroom back & have been going through so many organization videos. Yours is the 1st one that has made my heart smile. Your room is what I visualize (except craftroom) & it's giving me even more inspiration. It's been quite a few years ago that I gave my room for family. ❤️
I also have a Bernina 930, those are great mechanical machines. Had one early 80's so I bought it back 2 yrs ago forgot how much I missed it. It is getting used alot. again. Those are just really great machines.Happy sewing and your room is totally AWESOME. I LOVE VINTAGE SEWING STUFF.
This is by far my favorite sewing room tour. I like to collect anything related to sewing but you have me beat, especially with your fabric. I'm sure if I had a larger room, I may be able to catch up. Love it!
I'm with you. While my serger is new along with a little computerized machine I bought while my favorite machine was in getting cleaned and serviced, I'll take an old all metal sewing machine any day. Mine is a White made in 1972. I love how you've organized your sewing room. To an untrained eye, it could seem chaotic, but to me it's creatively organized! Very inspirational for you I'm sure.
This, by far, is the best craft/sewing room I've ever been privileged to see! Organization is not my strong suit, and this is a huge help and inspiration. Thank you very much.
You are like me with all the different crafts. I've given up cross stitch many years ago due to eyes. I started knitting a cable knit sweater in my 20's. Finished it in my 40's and now wearing in my 50's. In the 1980's it was loose and baggy, now it's a fitted sweater. All comes back. Love your room. I just tidied mine recently and ended up with 2 craft rooms as all 3 children have grown and gone. Greetings from Australia. 🌼🌷💕
Oh Melanie I’m sitting here crying. I once had a sewing and craft room as organized as yours. We lost our whole home to a house fire. And while people will say to me it’s only stuff it’s the vintage things I mis. Lace. Catalogs. Buttons etc. slowly trying to replenish. Enjoy every minute you spend in there. God blessed you with many talents. Thanks for sharing. xxx
I'm so sorry to hear that Diane. My cousin and his family lost their home to a fire a few years ago. The baby quilts I made for their daughters were lost in the fire and even that very tiny (insignificant, really) loss was sad for me and helped bring home the impact of a fire. I can't imagine the depth of such a devastating loss. Enjoy replenishing your stash though! The hunt and find are part of the fun for me. Hugs!
Melanie Sullivan thank you Melanie. Our friend and neighbor was on American Pickers. I will email you with my email so you can send me a picture of the pattern caning you’re looking for. He’s ALWAYS out and about. You never know. Life is strange in a round about way. What do they say? “ six degrees of separation.” Sorry about the baby quilts. No one knows except us the affect loss has. Even a small one. I still can’t think about it. My husband and I have walked away with good tho. We have to. We’ve learned so much about people as well as each other. I thank God we are going through this together. Some people go through tragedy alone. By the way I love your videos and how real they are. You’re a mighty talented lady. xxxxx
I couldn’t find any contact information on you, so here’s my email information. If you want send me a picture or description of the pattern file cabinet you’re looking for. diane@lakesidestamper.com
Wow! I thought I had a lot of stuff. Now I don't feel like a freak. 😁 Really enjoyed the tour. Got a lot of cool ideas. Thanks! Just goes to show we can use just about anything for storage. Nyce! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I really enjoyed your tour! We have so many things in common! I have some of the same books as I too love books. I also macrame, knit, crochet,embroidery, do English smocking , tatting, jewelry. I bought my first car, 1971 cutlass supreme, from jewelry sales when I was 17 yrs. I have a love for feedsacks and vintage fabrics and quilt parts. When a singer fabric store went out of business in the 70's my mom bought 4 Simplicity pattern cabinets, cutting table and 2 thread/trims displays. I also dabble in colored pencils & watercolor. My mom passed away in 2012 and I'm still cleaning out the hoard. I inherited about 15 large bins of double knit polyester fabric I plan to make a rug for my sewing room (20' x 36') . The room isn't finished yet. Thank you for showing how you organize your stuff.
I always wondered how you were able to work on so many projects at once and now I know! Because you are incredibly organized! That's a Super Power I do not have! You know where everything is and have made it easy to find! So inspiring! I love that you have childhood memories throughout your room. Thank you so much for sharing and thank your husband for filming! It's so special to have a husband who supports your art. 💗
OMG , I've NEVER in my life seen as much stuff kept to do with sewing by one person in my LIFE , I Love Sewing and to look around your stash as been AMAZING ! for me 🤗, Thank You So Much , for taking us on this tour 🤗👍♥️, my Favourite designers of all time are Kaffa Fassett and Anna Marie Horner , tell me do you ever manage to get over here ( England ) to the Festival of Quilts ? in August , I've yet to get there myself , I'd Love to see Kaffa and Anna there one time , That would be my Dream 🤗♥️, Take Care Love XX, Happy Sticking 😘👍
This is my absolute favorite sewing room tour! You use many of the same storage ideas I use--- Sterilite containers, chrome shelves, straight-sided baskets! Thanks for taking the time to document.
You are such an amazing lady. I watched the whole video without getting bored. So neatly organised, so passionate about crafting and above all having a supportive husband. From 🇬🇧
I Love Love Love your room. I am so happy I came across your channel. My daughter just got married and I took her room as my sewing room and watching this video has given me so many ideas. Thank you for spending the time and sharing. I have look all over for a channel that someone’s thought process was like mine. Oh and don’t I feel better knowing there is someone else out there that likes vintage things and has unfinished project that I call one day I’ll get back to them.🙂 After seeing your room it makes me wish I wouldn’t have purged so much when we moved a few years ago. Now I’m on the hunt for stuff to fill my room. Can’t wait for this lockdown to get over so I can yard sale again.❤️Hugs
Lately I have been addicted to sewing/craft room tours. The ideas are so interesting and some I think/hope I can apply. This tour was so interesting because you have so many creative disciplines and it seems that this is a real working sewing room. These are great ideas and it's great to see how you've been able to manage it, even the parts you feel could get judge.....the judgement is you've got it going on! Continued success!
Wow. That is one heck of a craft room!!! :-) I love it. I especially love the glass-front cabinet that you keep your vintage quilts in. I've always wanted one of those. I love how every single inch of this room is utilized. Wonderful! tfs.
What a cozy creative organized room perfect for the multi Artist you are!!!! Love seeing your lovely passionate collections ! Sooo nice to know that I’m not the only one that loves collecting and showcasing the items in an artful way! It’s sooo inspiring to walk into such a space and just get motivated to create ! Love all your organizing ideas! Thank you for letting us in and sharing your happy place with us! 💕💕💕💕
I have spent several years looking on utube on ideas how to set up my sewing and crochet room now I have a pretty good idea how. Thanks for this video I now have a good sense of direction ❤❤❤
Fabulous craft/sewing room Melanie! 10 points to hubby for being so patient and not commenting whilst doing your tour, lol. Cheers from Dorle in Oz 😘🇦🇺😎🙃
If i were 20 or so years younger,i would like to have my sewing room set up like yours.So organized, i love it.Then again i would also need a handy hubby.I do have a hubby,he's just not handy in the building dept,but,i'll keep him for his other good qualities.LOL TFS
Totally awesome! And a big thank you to your husband for being the camera man. Love your space. You make me feel normal with so many different projects going on at one time and a huge variety of interests. Variety is the spice of life. I am now 72 years old and have had to scale down quite a bit. I pretty much just work on junk journals now. Thanks for sharing your space......loved it.
Thank you for sharing your special sewing/craft room. I love that you have made it your own and it isn't the "standard" all Ikea shelving. It is very organized and I love that you like to collect the vintage sewing notions, fabrics, needlepoint kits. I too enjoy much of the small items out and visible to enjoy. It is fun to see someone who enjoys what they do. Thank you again.
I like your room because of the vintage, sentimental items you incorporated. A real collection of well loved things. I much prefer yours to the stark, expensive storage system rooms.
I used to have 2 of the pattern sewing cabinets from a store that went out of business,i downsized and gave them to my son for his shop.They were great and what i needed at the time.I even used to have one of the cutting tables/counter from the same fabric store,gave that to a neighbor during the downsizing.I do still sew and have a lot of fabric left and i also worked at a quilt store for over 10 years,that's how i was able to get first dibs on the cabinets and counter.Now i cross stitch more than sew,although for the past 3 weeks i've been sewing masks.By the way,i'm 82 which is why i downsized,wouldn't want my kids to have to deal with all my STUFF when i'm gone.LOL
Davis Kathi you are so right about having things and if something happened to us someone would have to deal with all of it. Let us pray they’d have an appreciation for what we did and not see it as junk and just throw it all away. Keep up the good work and the good fight. Here’s to being creative and knowing when to downsize.
Okay... so... first of all... you’re an amazing lady! To have the courage to ask your husband to video this entire thing is something I would have never had. Then.... your husband to be such a great sport and tape it all without making any comments?!?!? LOL... not my husband... he would have commented and made jokes all the way through. Now... I have a very grave question to ask you. When in the whole world do you have the time to do all the things you do?!?! Just organizing this room must have taken forever. You are literally the Proverbs 31 woman. Seriously... do you ever sleep? Wow! Wow! Wow! So if you had to design the perfect house with the most perfect studio, would you keep it separate like you do now, or would you combine the art with the sewing in the same space? Okay... now I need to go recover from all this beauty overload.
clc3897 When you are this organized you have time to do anything. I recently re-organized my entire craft room and now I get things done in half the time because I don't have to go looking for it; I know *exactly* where everything is!
I'm so glad I am not the only one who has to have things visible to recall having something on hand. If I don't see it, I forget about it and never use it. Wonderful ideas on what to use for storage. Thanks for this video.
It is always a joy in knowing that I am not the only one with “overstock” my wonderful hubby bubby transformed our boathouse Into to a “craft” storage room for my inventory. I have enough shelves for 60 give or take 18 gallon bins.with plenty of room for more shelves which is a good thing because I have at least another 60 bins to go! He is about to build my sewing room. So excited. Kudos for all the help your HB has given you. Thank you so much for Sharing. Yes to the mess and clean up :) I hate it when I forget to spell check. Ugh Best regards
Your little rag doll that you think is a toaster cover ... looks exactly like the cover we had on our slop jar when I was growing up. Slop jar was our portable potty when we farmed.
omg! It's beautiful! You are SO lucky to have a room for all your creativity! :) And you have a wonderful husband as well! You are truly blessed! :) Thanks for sharing. :)
Firstly, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space, I love the blend of old and new. Your love of sewing through many ages and the respect to the materials is inspiring. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am off to watch some of your earlier videos. Happy creating to you.
WOW ,WOW ,WOW , !!!! I can only DREAM of being this organized! Lord have mercy - feel like I’m never going to get there ! Most of my stash is vintage items , some I don’t even know what they are yet ? Thank you very much for this tour - extremely impressed 💕 what a blessing you are 👍 ha ! Was happy to show my boyfriend this video so he can see I’m not the only one who collects things and machines ! SO AWESOME 💗.
wow thank you i have a lot of items but i didnt think it would ever be possible to get it all organized i see that you can wow thank you so much for the inspiration great room
OMG, what a room, it should be in a magazine! The whole time I was enjoying this, my mind kept going back to when I had to move my craft room, not a pretty picture! Hope you never plan to move! TFS

Amazing collections. Sometimes half the enjoyment is just having things we love around us.♥️
You're so right! I think my body just relaxes when I walk into my sewing room, even when it's a huge mess.
Your so right
What a wonderful wonderful room. I could stay a whole day in that room just looking around at all the wonderful things you have in. That is a happy place
I love it. Not only are you totally organized (I'm extremely jealous), but you have a better selection and assortment than many shops. Wow!
If every there was a perfect sewing room, I think yours just might be it. 👌💕

Your Sewing and Craft Room is neatly organized.
Love seeing your sewing room and super large closet full of treasures! I look forward to more of your videos.
Sew very nice my oldest moved out & I turned his room into my sewing room
I enjoy my hobby room
Everyone needs a zen zone
This, by far, is the best craft/sewing room I've ever been privileged to see! Organization is not my strong suit, and this is a huge help and inspiration. Thank you very much.

You know that old saying about she who dies with the most fabric? You win, hand down! What a marvelous collection!!

I used to have 2 of the pattern sewing cabinets from a store that went out of business,i downsized and gave them to my son for his shop.They were great and what i needed at the time.I even used to have one of the cutting tables/counter from the same fabric store,gave that to a neighbor during the downsizing.I do still sew and have a lot of fabric left and i also worked at a quilt store for over 10 years,that's how i was able to get first dibs on the cabinets and counter.Now i cross stitch more than sew,although for the past 3 weeks i've been sewing masks.By the way,i'm 82 which is why i downsized,wouldn't want my kids to have to deal with all my STUFF when i'm gone.LOL
Davis Kathi you are so right about having things and if something happened to us someone would have to deal with all of it. Let us pray they’d have an appreciation for what we did and not see it as junk and just throw it all away. Keep up the good work and the good fight. Here’s to being creative and knowing when to downsize.
WOW!!! What a fantastic room. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! This sewing room is amazing. I loved looking at everything. Thank you for the tour!
BEAUTIFUL 😍 just beautiful!!
Okay... so... first of all... you’re an amazing lady! To have the courage to ask your husband to video this entire thing is something I would have never had. Then.... your husband to be such a great sport and tape it all without making any comments?!?!? LOL... not my husband... he would have commented and made jokes all the way through. Now... I have a very grave question to ask you. When in the whole world do you have the time to do all the things you do?!?! Just organizing this room must have taken forever. You are literally the Proverbs 31 woman. Seriously... do you ever sleep? Wow! Wow! Wow! So if you had to design the perfect house with the most perfect studio, would you keep it separate like you do now, or would you combine the art with the sewing in the same space? Okay... now I need to go recover from all this beauty overload.
clc3897 When you are this organized you have time to do anything. I recently re-organized my entire craft room and now I get things done in half the time because I don't have to go looking for it; I know *exactly* where everything is!

I was thinking the same thing, I would never have my husband record my fabric stash,
I'm so glad I am not the only one who has to have things visible to recall having something on hand. If I don't see it, I forget about it and never use it.
Wonderful ideas on what to use for storage. Thanks for this video.
That was great! Thank you. You are so organized - it is inspiring!
What a fantastic video-especially loved seeing all the vintage stuff. Thank you!
I’m so glad to know I am not alone, my studio looks much the same. Thank you for the great tour!
Love your space! Your husband has built many things for you too!
Your tour was such fun! LOVE your space and all of your supplies!!! Thank you for sharing.
This is the first time I’ve watched a sewing room tour that reminds me of my sewing space. Loved the video thanks.
Love how you treasure your things old & new. Looks fantastic
Absolutely love your room, thanks for sharing
Loved the tour!!!
AMAZING!
Such treasures! 💕💖💕
It is always a joy in knowing that I am not the only one with “overstock” my wonderful hubby bubby transformed our boathouse Into to a “craft” storage room for my inventory. I have enough shelves for 60 give or take 18 gallon bins.with plenty of room for more shelves which is a good thing because I have at least another 60 bins to go! He is about to build my sewing room. So excited. Kudos for all the help your HB has given you. Thank you so much for Sharing. Yes to the mess and clean up :) I hate it when I forget to spell check. Ugh
Best regards

Your little rag doll that you think is a toaster cover ... looks exactly like the cover we had on our slop jar when I was growing up.
Slop jar was our portable potty when we farmed.
