An Updated Sewing Room Tour 

I'm so glad to hear your mom's surgery was successful. Sending prayers for a speedy and full recovery for her!🙏

Don’t you just love rearranging and organizing? At least when it’s finished. It always makes me feel like I’m getting a fresh start. The final redo is going to be awesome. I’m glad you’ve decided to do Vlogmas. I always look forward to them.

Continued prayer for your mother. How lucky you are to have such a beautiful space to create!

😮wow I am so excited for you Whitney you are just blossoming. I am glad to hear your moms surgery went well! . My prayers are with her and your family! Thank you for all your hard work!!!❤️

Great video, I love your changes and planned changes. So happy for your mom’s surgery and you ability to go and be with her. Continued prayers for her, your family, and her medical team!

Thanks for sharing! Love the look of the redone sewing room. And looking forward to seeing the new space! Hugs and kisses to Mom! Blessings to you all.

Prayers for your mom’s complete recovery. Nice to see you are getting a spinning fiber stash! Join the club.

Looks fabulous, and thanks for sharing 'real life' as you create new sewing space. Take time for yourself and your sweet Mom. Blessings to you, your family, and safe travels as you go back and forth.

Hurrah, your mom is on the mend!

I am a new subscriber to your channel. I love the fact that you regularly update your channel and keep it fresh. Your sewing room organization has proven to be an inspiration. I have a smaller basement space but have maximized the space by giving away a lot of fabrics/patterns that I did not need. I got a dream box and an Ikea 6 drawer bureau to hold the remaining patterns and fabrics. I found out recently that the bottom of the drawers were dropping due to the weight of the fabrics and patterns so that solution did not work so I bought the ELFA system(3 10 racks with 3 wide bins and 1 narrow bin). What a difference! I don't know why I did not think of it before since I have 2 closet systems from ELFA that I bought for our bedroom when we moved into our home 14 yrs ago. I am going to glue the bottom of the bureau drawers back with Gorilla Glue and repurpose it for our family room space. I am so happy that your Mom's surgery went well. Sending prayers! Looking forward to your new content!

Praying for a quick and complete recovery for your Mom and so happy to get a look at your new sewing space and planned "filming room".

WOW!!! I’m so excited for all the new changes. And say “thank you” to your son for gifting you his workout space. Question: What is your fabric suggestion for the Parker Ponte Pant?

Good news about your mom! I am continuing to pray for her and your entire family.

Wow. Looking great! How exciting to be getting a new filming space. Prayers for your mom and her recovery!

Congratulations on your new space, Whitney! I’m so happy to hear your Mom’s surgery went well. I’m keeping you all in prayer.

I bought the projector you had on a recent video, the Acrojoy 1080P. In addition to being on sale there was a coupon for $30 off making it a deal at $69. I will be very interested to see how you use this as your ceiling appears to be low. I understand this channel will not be a “projector” channel, but hope to see this as another tool in the arsenal! Thanks for all your information.

The filming (& editing?) room sounds wonderful. I had a thought, while the crew is there putting up a wall to your new space you might give some thought (if you haven’t already) to having a door cut in between the two rooms, (May be where the steamer is?) I think it would be handy and more convenient if you need to go between the two rooms often. So glad your mom’s surgery went well and I hope she has a speedy recovery.

Such exciting news!!! I can’t wait to see all the changes. Good that you can visit your mom. Love your energy!!!😊

This is sooooo exciting! Your revitalized space looks like it will work much better for you and the new space is going to be awesome when completed! Would love to see it as it progresses. When your “handyman” moves your iron have him drill holes near the back of your sewing tables for the cords to your pedals. They won’t be in the way then. Trust me they are long enough 😊. Love watching your Vlogmas ❤ Continuing prayers for your Mom, I’m glad her surgery went well. 🙏

Love your new sewing room setup. Thank you for sharing. I am collecting ideas for my new sewing space and it helps to see what others have done or likes and dislikes of what others have found in setting up their sewing spaces. Prayers for your mother and to you and your family as you try to take care of her.

I’d like to start with: I’m so happy your Mom is doing good and you are such a good daughter to go help her out. Love that. Next, that top is definitely your color, wow, it looks beautiful on you and you hair color & lipstick too.and lastly, how exciting for you to get the other room. It sounds like your business is really taking off. Curious about your industrial machine, will you have another machine in the studio or moving that one? I’m so excited for you. Please keep us in the loop with progress pics. Take care.

So happy for you! Lots of positives in your video today. You deserve it. Your attention to all details add to our enjoyment and learning. I hope your mom feels our prayers!

Sew excited for your plans. Definitely don't know how you get so much done when you have so much going on in your life. You surely are an inspiration both in sewing and in life. Praying for a speedy recovery for Mom and safe travel for you.

I’m so happy to hear your moms surgery went well. Your new space is great. I have mostly antique furniture for storage but yet use two plastic folding tables for my cutting table and two of my machines. I took them away from my dad when they were moving to a gorgeous new apartment in the assisted living facility. He wanted to use them in place of actual furniture. Yeah, I love that old man but he is a tad strange. Now, I find myself a bit sentimental about the stupid plastic tables. I also love your furry assistant. I look forward to seeing her.

I hope your mother recovers quickly and things can calm for you. Congrats on your new space and continued space changes. Take care of yourself!

So exciting! Wishing your mom a full and speedy recovery!

Fabulous news about your Mum. That will be fabulous to have your own designated filming space looking forward to all the changes to come ❤

Exciting for you to have a filming space set up! Thanks to your lovely son. No worries about the sew along being January or February - I have the Ponte pattern and the fabric too but the main thing is your Mum and Dad and also you - none of us want you stressed out over your channel

We are both continuing to pray for your mother and the rest of the family. Take it easy, and don't stress yourself out!! doctor's orders! :+) How is Joyce's husband doing?? Did they have children and grands to comfort him and keep him company?? I still pray for him. Love the new room, and upcoming space for your recording studio!! How nice your son is so generous! Hard to believe they are going to be driving!! I cannot believe our youngest grandson is going to be 20! Where does time go, huh??!! Gidget looked dismayed that you disturbed her sleep! LOL! How old is she now? It's so nice you have so much room for your job and hobby! I have everything cramped into a bedroom-at least it has a walk in closet so I can hang some of the fabrics, etc.. You take care and don't overdo. I did order that sweater pattern that was on sale-looks like a quick make! You have a great weekend!

If you wrap your ironing surface with 1” gingham, you’ve got a 1” grid with straight lines. Love it!

How exciting! Well done

Happy New Year. Thank you for sharing.

Very exciting! Have fun with it all

I'm so happy for you! Thanks for sharing.

So fun! I love your new set up and look forward to seeing your new space as well.

Great set up and exciting to see the new room!

I was watching this program while knitting, Whitney. I love your sewing space and I can’t wait to see the finished filming studio. I am so happy for you, especially the good news about your mom. Take care.

How exciting

I am so happy your mom’s surgery went went well. Sending good thoughts that things keep going great for her and your entire family I really enjoyed your vlogmas last year. I like the format of putting the daily vids into one for the Sunday episode. It was much more fun for me to watch it like that. And congrats on being able to put in a filming studio for the channel. I actually clapped and yelled YAY when you showed it. So happy for you 🎉

Good idea doing vlogmas. Without concern for your Mum at this time, there is enough going on already without adding more stress. Focus on the priorities. All the best xx

How exciting. Can’t wait to see your new space.

How exciting to have a new filming studio! If you start to use projector files instead of paper patterns, I hope you will show us how you do pattern alterations with that system. I will miss seeing you sewing on your industrial Juki, as it is such a fabulous machine. But, if you demonstrate on domestic machines instead, it will be more relatable to most of your viewers. Looking forward to your tutorials.

Love you're plans ,looking forward to 2023

Love all your content Whitney. Your sewing room addition will be fabulous. Also love the sleeve hack on your Arlington top. It reminds me of my favorite Style Arc top, the Emery with the mutton leg sleeve and knife pleats instead of gathers. Thanks for all your attention to detail that you provide for all of us!!

Everything looks wonderful, Whitney! I look forward to all the new and exciting things. Congratulations!

Ohhh! A cutting station 🎉❤

Those are AWESOME changes. And of course it will take time for you to find everything it's final home and get used to it. Less stress eventually 😉. Moving is always hard, even expanding into more space, which has obvious benefits, is still a challenge. And probably distressing for Gidget, poor girl, lol you are going to move her chair😉 Lots of fun changes!

Love the plans for your filming studio. Glad to hear that your mum has come through the operation successfully. Merry Christmas to you and your family from NZ.

I was just thinking about Vlogmas this morning! I am excited you are doing it again. Your new revamped space is so awesome and your new room is fantastic! Can't wait to see it all done! I bet you are so excited. We have redone my sewing room twice and I keep thinking about taking over more of the house or doing another addition. 😂🤔

Looks amazing! I'm great with vlogmas. January works better for me too for the sew along. Enjoy your time with your mom as best you can. Many prayers for her. Looking forward to the new room!

Thank u for sharing ur new space! Looking forward to seeing the filming studio. I love the Gidget! She makes an awesome assistant/model. ❤

This is thrilling Whitney! I’m so excited for you!

Happy to see all the excitement building, I’m hoping we are headed for filmed classes, hopefully interactive, I’d love to study with you someday and I just can never afford to physically come. Prayers for your moms surgical recovery and the Christmas season for your family- blessings to you all. ❤️

So happy to hear your mom's surgery went well! And am looking forward to Vlogmas! :)

Exciting changes to your sewing area and new filming room etc. Can't wait to see! Glad your mom's op went well.

A filming studio! How exciting 🎉

I love your new room. Your new filming studio will be fabulous. I love your videos. Keep them coming!

Looks great! I’m so happy to hear your mom’s surgery went well. Your space there looks great, and your plans are very exciting! I can’t wait to see how everything plays out. A weekly Vlogmas will be wonderful! Take care.❤

Wow ! What a massive space and all full of goodies 😊! Great organizing skills too ! Lots of work involved but yr business is yr joy ! So happy for you dear and hope yr mum is feeling better and all our prayers r reaching her 😊 . You too need to take it easy dear we all understand you do have too much on yr plate . Xx

Love your creativity cave😉 isn’t IKEA great?! I made the same ironing station and I love it! Happy Holidays and thank you for all you do for the sewing community. Sending prayers and positive thoughts for your Mom’s continued recovery.

I Love that shirt!

Glad to hear that your mom is doing well. What a cool space for sewing! I like your pressing station. I ended up using my old double dresser ( it sits low) with my ironing board on top. Lots of storage there!

That red shirts looks great on you!

Happy to hear your mom is doing well Whitney! I look forward to Parker ponte pants when it happens. Gives me a bit more time to be ready to sew along ( as opposed to "sew behind"). How great that you will get your own filming studio!

Nice use of your space.

Oh my gosh Whitney your rearranged, as well as your new tables are wonderful. I'm a big fan of IKEA for their tables and drawers. My entire sewing room is made up of IKEA furniture. I sure wish I had your space though. I can't wait to see your finished rooms once completed.

Happy to hear your Mom's surgery went well. The new space plans sound really cool, can't wait to see it! I for one am happy the parker ponte sew-a-long is delayed since my pattern is not here yet... Take care.

Your space is going to be beautiful. How exciting. Prayers continue for your mom. Prayer of thanking for her surgery. Obtw, my Gidget (the cat) has completely taken my chair. I have to sit elsewhere. 😊

We would be absolutely dangerous as neighbors! Similar spaces (mine is above garage) with my industrial Juki being a walking foot. Fiber prep and spinning too (Schact Matchless). But by now I'd have converted you to multishaft weaving and you'd need that second room for your floor looms! Safe travels Whitney!

Glad to hear good news about your mom. Prayers for a quick recovery and for good prognosis. Gidgette is a cutie. We got home from Florida yesterday after 10 hour car trip. We don’t do plane because our dogs travel with us. Those are some really nice tables you got from IKEA . Your space is going to be fantastic when you get it all done. I want to work on getting something to organize my mess under my all purpose table. I do patterns, cut patterns & fabric, alter patterns . It’s just one of those foldable tables from Walmart with adjustable leg height. I also want to make a large board into a ironing pad surface to help iron large pieces of fabric & quicken up the process. Did you use a special type of batting?

Whitney, your space is fantastic. I’d love to have a basement, but living in South Louisiana, not happening! So happy your Mom’s surgery was a success.

I started to redo my my sewing room 18 months ago to with ikea. Still waiting for ikea storage because of supply issues. So mine looks like your new area. Oh well I’ll get there

Love the new expanded space. And those of us that have a sewing room/studio truly cherish the extra space. 6” doesn’t sound like much but it truly is…. Where is your projector going to be installed? I now own 2 of them and love them. Especially when we have company w/kids. Huge screen and my hubby can see the screen as well. I need to find a projector class so I will know where to install my projector. I have the ceiling mount for either one of them. So, over my huge cutting table, or my huge ironing station, or over the dining table and adjust to show movies on the big screen. Multipurpose, right?

Awesome news! So excited for you and your new space, would it throw things off much if you were to add the wall on the right side of the door so you can go from one room into the other without leaving that space? It would also give you a few feet more to play with ! ;)

Love the changes and excited for your filming room. I think I recognize some of that fabric waiting to be folded. ;) But wouldn’t your pressing station be more efficient back where it was? Not so many steps to go press something. 😊

Your new set up looks great. Can you tell me where you got chair. It looks comfy

how lovely that you’re going to have a studio! now you’ll actually be able to fit a clothing rack and the mannequins into a wide shot. do you plan to paint the walls? i think a fresh lick of paint would really help to brighten the space up, and i can see a feature wall in something like a muted dark teal really helping to make your clothing and shelves pop

So many changes, it is fun to see your excitement. Glad you changed the sew a long, I was trying to figure out how to stuff it into Christmas. Which leads me to the question of fabric. What exactly is Ponte? When I asked at our local fabric store ( in SW Michigan we have Fields fabrics) they said " the polyester is over there" , I didn't know polyester was Ponte. Can you give a closer description? They didn't know and the fabric isn''t labeled that way, only contents. I didn't want to order online but I just might. The twins are getting so grown-up. Blessed Christmas to you and yours.

The sewing studio looks great! I have 2 questions for you. Can you point me at a video or resource for how to fold your fabric? And, do you keep your fabrics in plastic? I also have the Elfa wire drawers for my fabrics, and I worry about things getting dusty.

Hello Whitney, I don't expect you to remember the last message I posted, but it was regarding changing patterns to be able to make clothes that fit me. Ones that are comfortable, and that I hopefully will not be constantly pulling at the sleeves. Because I don't tolerate things to close to my armpits. So today's feature Friday, I always stop the video and jump over to Love Notions to check out the pattern. Well obviously, I see it from you first. But my first instinct was to just pass this one by. The reason being that the armpits are way too close, but then my fix it brain kicked on. And I said to myself, well now don't be silly, you can just adjust this pattern to fit your pits lol. This is the style of clothing that I would avoid like the plague. And so sorry, how rude of me not to mention your sewing room first. My first thought was, oh I wish I had that much room. Currently I am renting just due to life changing plans without my consent LOL. And with the current housing market in Idaho, I am, (sounds terrible) but I am waiting for the market to crash. I eventually plan on a very roomy sewing /craft room. I think I would like a long arm quilting machine. This may need a room all to itself, not sure I want to invest that much money yet. I love all of your sewing tables. A functional sewing room, is so key in having a smooth flow. So you have a catalog system for patterns that you currently have already printed out. Is that how that works? Like the library, I go to the catalog look up the pattern and then you have a second area where you keep the printed patterns. Am I missing something understanding that correctly? Unfortunately I am not able to do Ikea, believe it or not, the shipping costs are more than the item itself. And the kicker is that I am like a days drive away from the Ikea store. Maybe I will rent a truck and just go pick it up myself. I have an adult son who would be more than happy to help out his mom. One of my challenges is that I have enough yarn and fabric to fill a room. Yes I have an addiction to those things. It could be a worse addiction, say smoking, drinking or drugs, so I'm ok with having way more materials than I can use in my life left. Hopefully one of my grandchildren will be overjoyed to get it when I'm ready to move on. Or the entire family will be cussing me out. Either way I win. Lol Thanks for the great tour of your creative space. Have a great day and have a great day. I didn't proof read this, so if there is some wacky spelling MY BAD. Tracy from Idaho

Your new space looks fantastic! Question - will you still be filming sew-alongs on your industrial machine? Surely you won't be moving it into the filming studio when you want to use it...

What's your thoughts on extension tables? You have one for your cover stitch machine but not for your Evolution. Is it just a space issue? I have a vintage Elna 704DEX which is serger & cover combo. Thank you

Fun! What is the throw space for the projector? BTW you might want a computer close to the projector. I know lots of peole use tablets but I do not.

Don't worry about pushing out the pants video...
