Organizing My Sewing Room - Before and After! 

my flat is always messy so best thing to do? ignore it and watch someone on the internet clean up their mess :)

I too am obsessed with mushrooms. My aesthetic is “Witch Cabin in the Enchanted Forest” to sum it all up

@2:55 You mention that the table is "just so handily a flat surface." For years I have referred to my husband (and myself, but not AS much) having "flat surfaceitis", a disorder which makes one fill any available flat surface with as much of the detritus of day to day life as possible until said surface has no room left. Anyone else suffer from this disorder?

Yay! An actually messy true CRAFT room! You did a great job. I'm the same way, flat surfaces are always full.

My studio includes painting, jewelry and sewing -- and it's a mess, with homeless items everywhere. It's so consoling to see someone of your expertise with a messy floor and shelves! I am inspired to start work on mine.

What a lovely transformation. I must admit that my favorite part of this post was getting to see all the amazing ways you can fix your beautiful hair. But that's just the grandma in me.

I need to gut my room and ditch a bunch of crap that I’ve been holding onto since I was a kid. I have too many things and I need more space. It’s nice to watch other people clean. Cleaning videos are always inspiring

“Collection of aesthetically pleasing things” speaks to me on a level I didn’t know existed.

I now call my "random things I bought that I like to have" pile my "it sparks joy in me" Pile lol.

if you get another pegboard to go underneath that one,then put little baskets you can then put your pincushions and such there.

Watching cleaning videos makes me itch to clean my own room, guess it's time for a spring cleaning of my own

Oh how I wish I had a sewing room like yours!! So much light! 😍That is the dream!

Oh no Morgan you're making me want to drop everything and clean!

Side note: I love your hairstyle on Day 3!

Flat surfaces, homeless items, projects that take over, things all over the floor... yep, got it all. It always makes me happy to see someone else's mess, because it means I'm not the only one it happens to. And it always makes me happy to see a room transformed into a more efficient, pleasing space. I fixated on your use of a silverware bin as mini shelves on your pegboard; I love finding different ways to use things that are easy to get or that I already have.

Thank you for showing a real life sewing room floor... and now to fix it... Have you seen the sliding/ hanging closet door style peg board walls? ...

I have a new found appreciation for a wood floor in my sewing room. It’s so easy just to sweep up treads and tiny bits of fabric.

So I just found you lol and I watch on my tv while I sew so I can't comment often but thanks for the video! I watched you, Noel and Bernadette all cleaning your sewing rooms and felt like maybe it was a sign lol. It's so much more motivating to work when your space is inviting and organized.

I cleaned my sewing space and I blame you. 😅 It's so easy for sewing/crafty projects to sort of explode. Glad I'm not the only one!

Maybe you could try putting all of the materials you're using on a current project in like a basket or something, this way they're not all over the room and are easy to manage

Thank you so, so, SO much for posting this! I'm about to go through a similar process of sorting, culling, and finding homes for things, and it is such a relief to know that I'm not the only maker in the "hot mess" category, especially mid- or post-project. Thank you for this transparency and authenticity.

The transformation is lovely! The pegboard is wonderful, cheerful full of fun and frolic.

Every time I sew I've got the same "picture" on the floor)))) Thank you very much, now I can breathe easily, because I see that it's normal))) sorry for my poor English))))

its amazing how much more together you personally are ,as your process moves on!

Love the cabinets! And the dress!!!! Ohhhh the dress! Although we never saw how it was made (defiantly understand why) its so beautiful!

Morgan is such a pleasant person. A lovely presence! Keep up the great work!

I love the transformation, I'm in the process of rearranging my sewing to be more useful and efficient. This gave me some ideas.

Thank you for sharing. We just moved into a bigger place and now I have my own craft room for the first time. You've given me some ideas on how to organize it.

Nothing better than overhauling a room! I do my tiny bed room about once every 3 months when I want to just change up the look, I love pastels and black so I tend to switch between those. 😆

Wow! Good on you for doing all that work! It is so nice to take stock of one's things every so often. Hope this room functions much better for you now!

Wow, the room looks so much brighter!! Very pleasing to see the transformation. Now if only I could do this for my room.

Lovely! My work process is much the same as yours. I have never been one to "clean as I go", but find much satisfaction in cleaning up at the end to start the next thing. Now I must go work in my room....

Oh it looks amazing now, visually and functionally a great creative space. I really gotta get a peg board!

My pile of pretty things is just pure goblin/dragon energy and I love it.

I loved that you showed us your studio. I rarely let anyone in my studio because of the clutter. It was nice to see I am not alone in the challenge of keeping a studio picked up. Thanks for a great video.

Thank you so much for your transparency with your work space! I am working on turning my living room/office/entry space/kitchen into a general all-purpose home economy zone, banishing my offspring and all of their paraphernalia to their bedrooms and basement. My sewing things have no proper space currently, unless EVERYWHERE counts, because I have been unsure where I am comfortable working. I'm a vagrant in my own home. And the pegboard is the best. Thank you so much for your great ideas!!

I love this video. It is the exact process I did with my studio (aka sewing room). One thing I did was label everything so the space it was assigned was the item's forever home - so easy to pick up. My pegboard I painted - plus I added wire baskets on it to hold some things that didn't fit nicely on a hook. I also put big plastic cup that says PAPER SCISSORS - so all scissors (that are not marked with a little green stripe meaning paper - go in the cup. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Morgan did you come into my home and describe it for the internet? The studio space in my home is badly afflicted with "no permanent home" disease and so every time I do a project it's like a bomb of notions went off. I feel like it's so hard to stay organized unless you go to professional studio levels of organization and clean up requirements. Blech. Thank you for being so open about this problem! Also, yay new projects that we can see coming up! :)

There's nothing so satisfying as getting organized and you have done a nice job. I like the new storage unit without doors that just slow a person down. In general I follow the old adage about form following function You have made a very cheerful sewing room and I like your style.

Holy crow, seeing your after-project chaos made me feel so much better, lol! I sew in my dining room, and the "stuff" on the ground gets old fast. My daughter just moved out and I'm taking over her room for my sewing area- I am taking BIG notes from you on how to organize! I am heading off to the hardware store for pegboards! Thanks for the inspiration!

My two favourite things: a new video from you + organization! ♥️♥️♥️😂

So satisfying! I would love to have my craft room look like this! At this point I will just be happy to get some better lighting in there. Putting things up on the wall makes it sooo much easier in so many ways.

Thank you for showing a real sewing room. I love your sewing room before and after, Lol Also you hair and make up are just gorgeous 😍

Living in Manhattan, I'm so living vicariously through you oh my goodness

Honesty and keeping it real. I love it !

LOVE it!!! Such a difference. I've never thought of using a peg board. Have to give it a try! 💖💕

I constantly have sewing piles...the to start pile, the various stages of completion pile, the almost done but this one thing pile, and the mending pile....then on the other side of the room is the situation with Yarn. Lol. I gave up a long time ago and exist in a wonderful state of organized chaos!

Awesome. I love my peg board as well. Very nice space, and great job cleaning it up and organizing it.

Omg someone who understands why my workroom is such a disaster. Thank you

This video is so satisfying and inspiring. Specifically makes me want to work on my UFOs so my sewing spaces/storage can be more compact and organized.

Welp, this must be the theme of 2019 -- clean up and reorganize. I am six months into cleaning my sewing room. Yesterday, briefly, I saw my cutting table. Then it got swallowed up again. In the mean time, I organize things by accident. Got a new shelf and accidentally tidied the pantry. Got some can rollers, and accidentally tidied a cupboard. Did a load of towels and accidentally tidied the shelf they go on. I envy your ability to "just get on with it." Have you considered bottling that ability and selling it?

Loved this! My sewing room has "grown", but needs to be a guest room, TOO, by Christmas (it's now February). The pegboard is the next thing to add. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Such an awesome transformation. I love it and it makes me feel so motivated to do my own craft room.

This is really great!And I hope to see more of your videos.

TOTALLY getting the "aaaahh!😁 vibe of the space. Congrats!

You must live close to an Ikea store! I really feel that pain of things not having an actual "home" and am amazed that you were able to know exactly how much space you needed on your new furniture to house your things! I can't seem to make my brain do that!

I'm going to be cleaning out my own room tomorrow to better include my sewing supplies as I dont have anywhere else for them at the moment and this is a great video to watch before I do so. (along with the fabric closet one as im going to have to down size my own fabric collection) It makes as a great way to make em excited to reclaim my craft space.

gorgeous! only thing i would change as you seem to have a handyman on call, hehehe is for him to drill/hammer a couple of nails into the wall literally right below where the thread hanger is now, so that you can take the thread hanger off the board and hang onto the nails or whatever you decide on. taking that thread hanger off the board would free up the other half, making many more things able to be easily reached once up on the board than in draws, especially if used all the time! i'd actually attach it to the side of the new cabinets next to it, even if its too wide, it would free up the rest of that board!

The room looks awesome 👌. I need to organize my stuff now.

Love your transformation. I am planning to reorganize my workspace in the next few weeks so this video helps a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Your studio is SO COOL! Plus, I gotta say you are so gorgeous! Thanks again for sharing with us!

Great job 👏. It looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing 👍👍

So satisfying!

Beautiful! Wonderful work/ play space!

Also your theme music is now always in my head 😂

Wow beautiful results

Loved, loved your video! My sewing room is in a dreadful state! But, you have inspired me! I am moving my entire sewing room to another room of the house, and am going to borrow some of your ideas, like the peg board! Need one of those!! Thanks again, for another useful and entertaining video!

Wow!!! That's an awesome project! Good for you.

Loving the new cabinet! #basic❤️

Sweet transformation!! Congrats.

Wow, amazing! Love your space!!

Looks awesome! Nothing curbs my creative sewjo like working in a disaster area. This is very inspiring 😀

Love the transformation. The peg board looks much better.😊

Great job! It looks very organized and useful.

Thank you for this. The not insta-perfect before pictures make me feel so much better about the cacophony of a creative space. I don't have a dedicated work space. Choosing to do multiday projects is carefully planned and i'll have things spread over half my apartment (yay for small space - said no one ever). Plus wanting to have pretty things & inspirationy things in the work space, too. Anyways, your video is a nice reminder that its just part of creative spaces.

What impresses me the most is how dedicated you are getting all this done in 4 days! So daunting!

Beautiful work!

It is so pretty! I love what you did to your pegboard!

Good job!! Love to see how well you got it all together

It looks awesome! I love that you do multiple crafts, I do many myself.

I absolutely Love your color scheme of red and white polka dots! It's Super Cute! Very you! I Love it! It turned out great!

love it..I cant wait to move to my new place next yr.I will have my own sewing room yeyyyyyy thank you so much for your great video and tour of your sewing room. Happy New Year.

Such a nice friendly space. I need to do this too. My husband would really be happy if I got this done ASAP.

Oh my goodness, this is so nice to see. My craft room floor looks just like yours did.

Wow!!! Looks amazing!

LOVE the day 2 outfit and hairstyle!

Omg love the red polka dots!!! That’s amazing

You did an amazing job. Really live the peg board makeover.

So impressive!

The new room looks lovely and restful and ready for creating. HOpe ithas worked out.

That's how my craft room looks after months of working on projects 😂. I do the same thing clean it all up and try and reorganize everything. Clean my machines put a new needle on and start a new project. I'm glad I'm not alone with the whole creative Tornado. #threadlife

That plier collection though!! 😍😍😍

I literally sew at my desk next to my school and work computer or out next to my cats basket. I don’t have a machine or any fancy equipment, but I’ve made some nice quality garments! Can’t wait until I can get my own sewing room 😊

Your sewing room is so beautiful! Also, fantastic camera work and editing, so fancy!

Thanks for the motivation! [cleans her craft room / seewing room / office now]

I'm so your fan! Im learning a lot from you. Thanks!

So cute! I love the red and white polka dot paper.

What an improvement!!! So much easier to concentrate on what you are saying thsn being distracted by the clutter!!! Bravo!!! Hint: you may want to consider another *towel bar* to store your ribbon /trim on (we used dowels on a wall in a florist I worked at).

I am so glad I'm not the only one who just lets stuff hit the floor in her sewing room lmao. I've been looking for inspiration to get cleaning mine. Maybe I'll start that today.

We have the same cutting table! You are inspiring me to get my room decluttered!
