Was anyone else taking notes? I would be totally prepared if there was a pop quiz lol. This entire video is sprinkled with a ton of little golden nuggets that pretty much anyone can apply to whatever space they are creating in. Plus you can see that this space actually functions with real world applications, and isn't the usual 'pristine pinterest sewing room' tour🙄 This was a lovely video to watch and thank you for sharing! ❤
Sewing "space"? I'd call it a Sewing Kingdom! Perfect for the sewing Queen! Sure wish I had one as large and organized as yours, Laura! Enjoy and thank you for sharing! 🌹
Beautiful. Great job. I used the bedroom in my apt as a sewing room and I love it too. I dont have as much stuff as you, but as im old, it is still probably going to outlive me!😄
I love how you have a realistic sewing room instead of one that looks prettier than it functions. You have given me so many great ideas for my space. 💕
Now and than I have to see your Video to remember how to organice my space. It reminds me what is funcional and pretty. Thank you. Greetings from Vienna, Austria.
O my goodness. I was so inspired by your lovely, but practical sewing room. I really did received so much tips and inspiration to set up my sewing business. Very profesional. Thank you for sharing. I love everything
This is one of the best sewing room videos I’ve seen. Such clever and unique ideas that are custom-designed for the user. You’re a true creative! Love your new space.
You put so much thought into each “station”-I watched in amazement. I am so happy for you. Thanks for sharing all your great solutions. I’m going to store the manuals on the side of my new sewing table like you did. 🌹And Your touches of red, black, and white in your dove gray room did not go unnoticed!
Best video of a sewing space I think I've seen ever. The ergonomics are important and you have alot of great ideas to achieve that. Your basement ceiling is so high, what a relief! Thank you sharing the tour!!!
Dear Laura-thank You for this lesson in ergonomics. I was sewing all day last week and woke up with a shooting pain in my neck and was worried. I went down to my sewing area after your video and saw that my sewing machine is too high for my chair (I don’t have 90 degree angle with shoulders and elbows. I will be replacing my chair with an adjustable one and planning my sewing room changes with the principles you taught me.
I absolutely love the organization. I am in the process of gutting the house next door and making it my new sewing studio. I will have to post updates as we go along. Please don't replace the couch. Find someone to replace the springs or put boards under there. Your couch adds so much charm to your space.
Laura, thank you for sharing. After I lost my husband I moved by my kids to Portland, Oregon, no basements in this area. So I searched for a home with living room open to dining room , it’s my dream sewing studio. Since I have a separate kitchen open to family room I’m all set. I used PVC too! You shared many great ideas, thank you. You are my sewing angel!
I recently lost my husband and are readapting my home for me and the family room will be my new sewing space. Wonderful ideas to work from. Now to use them!
BRILLIANT, absolutely GENIUS Design and Construction - I am sooo Happy for you - and I luuuove the uses of PVC pipe and thread spools - you are a Treasure, Laura! Thank you for sharing your Gonzo creative ideas and accomplishments. 👏🥰
Hi! I absolutely love you!!! I wish we could be friends in person bc I began sewing at age 9 and feel a heart-connection with you and your passion. You are beautiful, graceful, loving, passionate about life and sewing, and interesting. I trust what you teach because you are so knowledgeable and yet humble, qualities not found in all teachers. Thanks so much for all you share, including this growth and the evolution...upgrades to your AMAZING spaces!!! Congratulations! You deserve it! Much love and appreciation! Jinn A. Dallas County, TX
Jinn A, may I join in too, I started sewing at age 8 on my grandmother's treadle machine. Wish I had kept sewing all those years. Only started sewing again since my granddaughter was born. I live in Monroe, LA., and desparately need a sewing buddy.
So many wonderful ideas and a great use of your space!! Such a beautiful space to work, and I love your beautiful antique couch! I would love to sit there with a cup of tea and my handwork. Thank you for sharing - it is fabulous!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I am working on my sewing room now and what you've done is simple and practical. I love it, and thanks so much for sharing.
LindaH-65 LOLOL Love you comment. Did you know that cloth or even plasticized tape measurers will stretch over time? Where once you had 3", it's now 3 1/8". No fun when you've mis-measured. Ask me how I know! Happy sewing!!
@@SewVeryEasy So, what did you do with the "former" sewing space" ??? This is absolutely gorgeous. I can see my own basement (which is finished) looking like this someday!
Greetings from Garland, Texas. Thank you so much for your video. I'm so happy for you. I got so many ideas from you. I closed in my garage to turn into my sewing room. I'm so blessed to have this space for myself and I'm wanting to really use it wisely.
Oh, Laura, it’s wonderful! Your personality shines through in the organization. The thoughtfulness and intention behind every decision are clear. Thank you for sharing it with us via a tour. It’s a great work space. You definitely have worked hard to be able to have it just the way you want with room to grow. I hope you enjoy many years of creative endeavors in that space.
What an awesome room and an awesome video! So many great, functional ideas. I so much love the sofa and chair in the corner. Great spots to hand stitch or just put your feet up, look around the room and feel blessed! Thank you for sharing.
Awesome like the raised table tops. That U can just move to better places as needed. I have a lot of sewing items that I can put in different spaces‼️🙏
It's a lovely and functional space and I love the old machines - I learned on a treadle back in the early 50s that was my grandmother's. And I was given a 3-tier version of that sewing box that folds out, I think around 1962. It's been through several refurbishing rounds and I still use it today!
I would exchange the couch for a bed and live in there. What a fabulous space you have to craft in. You are so lucky in the States to have big rooms and basements. I’m very envious. You are extremely well organised. I can identify with your early sewing space days and we all progress from that. Lots of hints and tips, so tku for those.
WOW!! l love everything about your new space- you can really see all the thought and planning that went into your design! And your use of PVC and empty spools was genius!! 👍👌Now it’s time to enjoy your new room! Beautiful- thank you for sharing!!
This is so useful. Unfortunately I have about a tenth of the space but.organisation and great storage ideas is the thing. Thank you, compelling viewing!!!
Wow, Laura, this video was worth the wait!!! What a beautiful space in which to create!!! You gave me a lot of ideas...including what to do with my old acrylic cutting mat...it will now go underneath my chair!!! Genius! Thank you for sharing, and Happy Sewing!!!
Your space is awesome! I recently moved into my oldest daughter’s bedroom after she moved out. Not nearly as large as your space, but it allows me to keep my sewing machine out and easy to access. I find that I am doing much more sewing. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so glad you got your space finally, just looking at this has sparked my ideas for my craft realm hopefully asap, thank you for sharing this with us.
You can buy a belt for your treadle machine on eBay and they are not expensive. I know this because my husband restores Vintage sewing machines. He has 300 to 350 machines out in our barn. He has a few treadles, but mostly electric machines. Your sewing room is fantastic! I'll be making my sewing room over, hopefully this year. I share my sewing space with my husband's repair space up in our big barn. My area is about 25 feet by 15 feet. I plan to use a lot of your ideas in my area. Thank you so very much for showing us your space!
I love your new Sewing Studio! I have a large room in the basement that could be turned into a sewing room for me, but it would take a tremendous amount of money and work, to get it usable for that. Plus, there is no bathroom down there, nor coffee macine, he he. You are one lucky lady, to have such a beautiful and workable space, to sew in. I absolutely love the new space!
This was really well done. Everything is in its place. The flow is thought out really good. It screams happy place to me. I think we are always tweaking our rooms all the time. Great job.
You are one beautiful woman! Thank you for sharing and providing lots of inspiration...like, me dashing to my craft room, unpackaging all my measuring tapes and stringin' 'em high to get the wrinkles out (I'll probably have to cover them with a thermal sheet and press with a very low temp iron).
Don't get rid of your couch just get it reupholstered I have one that's very old but I bought used and springs were gone in it I just put cardboard boxes under the cushion to kind of make it firmer and it works all right
I Love your sewing room I, Involved just watching you and listening to you. I hope to have a sewing room in my home soon. I appreciate how humble you are. Thanks!! 🥰🤩
98% of us that's so do not have the luxury of a beautiful workable large sewing area that you have but it was so nice to see it. There are many ideas of organization that you showed in your room that can be put to use in small rooms also. Your dream room is absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful wonderful place to sew
Thanks for the tour - what a nice workspace you have arranged. If you are looking for suggestions - I would love to see videos about what to do with the serger. Since I've been quilting I haven't used mine. I would love ideas for small projects to use it for.
