Sewing Room Makeover!! PT. 1 FABRIC ORGANISATION 

The foam board bolt idea is genius!

I use Amazon box lids. You have beautiful fabric!

In the midst of corona virus isolation here in Ontario, Canada and tidying my sewing room. I'm binge watching sewing room makeovers for inspiration!

I'm only 17 but when I live alone I would love to have a sewing room 💖💖💖💖

I couldn't stop laughing my head out when I Watched how crazy you are with fabric and how cluttered your sewing room look like before it got organised. Infact i was organising mine and took a time to rest and Alas! I just jump on your video. that was the reason behind my laughter, Knowing that I am not the only one😊 Secondly, can I suggest you start selling fabrics as you have created an inspiration for youself re: having fabric store! thats what I do as well. I sew and sell fabric on-line. You are very amazing an brilliant!🤗

Okay! Seeing this was SOOOO helpful! I have an ikea kallax system with bins and it's hard because I can't see anything, and everything is layered on top of each other in the rolls (which is the way I learned in school) but I love that you were inspired by fabric stores, it makes so much sense!!

I actually gasped out loud when you showed the fold-down table/desk. IKEA here I come... I don't think I have ever been so happy clicking on a random video from my feed. Thank you!

It's more and more obvious that I'll not be able to get back to work any time soon... Sooo.. I'll finally be organizing my sewing /making space...so I can more efficiently work from home....this is great inspiration...Thanks!

I understand the addiction part so well. My sewing room is a disaster. Big disaster. I have stopped purchasing fabric. I'm in the midst of clearing cabinets I have Thanks for sharing your mistakes as well as your successes. I love the outcome! Congratulations!

Your room prior to make-over was indeed a HOT mess...omgosh. However, since you've re-structured...now, you can see what you have by putting your fabric on boards is so much easier. I too am a Designer and use to work at a fabric store when I was a student and making "categories" of where your items will go is so essential. Sorting and organizing is always an on-going process, and the small step you have made is an "accomplishment" and wishing you continued success.

small car + Ikea furniture = real-life Tetris. Played it once NEVER AGAIN!

I love Ikea. I have their peg boards, etc. You did a GREAT JOB! I am a quilter and I have way too much fabric!! I have a similar idea for fabric storing, but I use acid free comic book boards. Folding 40 to 44 inch fabric (20 to 22 inches as it comes off the bolt) again. I don't use pins as they tend to rust, yup, they do. I have ruined many pieces of fabric from the past. Plus, I find the little pins everywhere, especially on the floor, which my dog manages to find as well. Instead, I use rubber coated paper clips to secure to the board when starting my roll. I also use them at the end to secure to the previous fold. ( or elastics). The comic boards stand up well in my Armoire on the shelves...double deep and by color. My friend used my idea on a tall bookcase. I also measure each fabric, as I roll, and mark it on one end of board. If I remove any while sewing my projects, I simply minus off that amount and put new amount. That way I know right away if I have enough for a project without unrolling. I saw a video on putting a sticky address label with Manufacturer and name of fabric. I like that idea. I am doing that going forward. I have run out of a fabric many times and unable to match as I don't have the info. Again, Congrats!

Your sewing room is look bigger than before. That so great. Nice job.

I love how this turned out and what a great idea to make it feel like a fabric store! I had to stop myself from buying anymore fabric until I get projects done, too. But I have found another use for a lot of my stash because of Covid-19 I have been making masks! You have inspired me to organize projects for clothing so that I can actually see them instead of buried in a plastic covered bin - "out of sight, out of mind". Thank you for making this video!

Hello! I just happened on one of your videos which prompted me to watch this one. So entertaining and funny. You literally have a fabric store in your home. But I love the idea. I’d love to see sewing videos once you’re done.

My mom was a fabric fiend too. She kept hers folded in stacks on open shelving. Eventually she placed those stacks in carboard boxes with the front panel removed. But a word of caution....the sunlight from the windows faded some of mom's fabrics at the exposed edges.

Omg 😭😭😭😭 I don’t know weather I’m super jealous or amazed or inspired maybe a mix of all of these tbh it looks soooo good I’d be feeling super happy even walking in the room if I had my own fabric store in my house lmao!! I’m amazed that u could press and fold ALL of this fabric in only 6 days ????? I have like not even 10% of what you have and I feel like it’s gonna take me weeks to sort out once I find the courage! at least it makes my organization seems more doable in comparison I thought I had a lot of fabric but I guess not anymore haha! I like the downsizing I’m also frustrated at my huge ass sewing table but hated to cut on the floor when I didn’t have it my back pain can’t take it 😭 and it makes such a mess. But yeah anyway congrats on your sewing room make over u can be so effing proud of the result imo!!!! and thank you for inspiring me to rethink my own organization

Do you have video on how to make bras ?? I’d love to learn!!

That was very interesting, and you did a great job! May I offer a tiny bit of advice, though? Cutting stuff on the floor gets old VERY fast, trust me on that one. I'd recommend you keep that big table, because you may miss it sooner than you think. I'd suggest doing something with hinges like your Ikea table, maybe with some cork so you can pin inspiration stuff on it when it's up?

The l-shaped shelving is brilliant! I would have painted it a glossy white

O:39 Oh my gosh I can so relate to you already. I have a 15 x 11 foot craft room and you can barely walk in it right now! Plus I have tons of fabric in two other rooms. I am disabled so clearing up the mess is taking me forever. Hopefully your video will give me some ideas and inspiration.

You are awesome!!! Thank You for showing the good the bad and the beautiful!!!

I am so going to copy your bolt idea! It’s gorgeous!

I want one too. The storing of the fabric in rolls seems a good idea. And creating a fabric store atmosphere must be motivating.

I’m still jealous that you have such a beautiful fabric stash plus a whole room for your stuff

You are adorable and can’t wait to see all of your videos! I can’t wait to organize my fabric and you just inspired me. Thank you! 😊

love your sewing🤗 ,i have a side in my livingroom where i sew and keep everything i always look for ideias to store everything in a smaller way 😊

I was looking foe inspiration for a sewing corner and your room is fantastic.

i dont feel so bad, because I have the same fabric issue. This video helped me so much!

I am doing the same thing with my sewing room, takes time, but you have to do it so you can get on with sewing and creating. Thanks for video, very inspiring. I had my son build cabinets against walls to store fabrics, all custom and looks great. Love so much better.

Thought it was great, some inspirational ideas , I want to be able to organize my fabrics and see what I have blessings!

OMG!!! This was so nice to watch and helpful!!!1 My room is so unorganized its dreaful!! And My idea was exactly like yours... Thnak you so much for sharing this. Looking forward to seeing the finished project in whole :)

I tried cleaning my sewing room once. All I did was create more space for more stuff. But I'm definitely going to do this with my fabric!!!! It looks like a brilliant system you've created!

I love the bolt idea. It makes me feel professional, even tho I'm totally not. Thanks for the video..

I’m so glad I found you❤️

I’m still happy to watch an old fabric show and tell video from you. So you don’t have to buy more. So so proud of what you’ve done with your fabric. I most probably need this system as well 🤣

Just wanted to pop by and say that I love your editing style! So cute!

What a great idea for putting the fabric onto the bolts. You are ingenious!

I have been wanting to learn to sew but all the supplies I have inherited or collected myself are OVERWHELMING your makeover is so inspiring 💕 I can’t wait to get organized and get learning

Thank for the inspiration. I have my fabric in containers and it's a hassle. I always just go something instead looking through what I have. This is a system I can work with.

I am so relieved, I thought I had a lot of fabric, I guess I can go shopping again (not really) ~ Thanks for the tour. It does look very pretty. I am working on making my sewing room easier to use, and also have a shopping list for Ikea. I'm actually a clothes hoarder, and my New Year's resolution for 2020 was to not Buy any new clothes. If I want something new I Must make from my fabric stash, and I'm only allowed to buy items needed to complete a project (vs starting a project). Current events have made the not shopping thing completely easy, but I have become very aware of the shortcomings in my sewing space. New chair is pretty much job one, and a table top ironing board for sure.

I'm so glad I discovered all the sewing and organizing videos here! I haven't been terribly inspired lately, but it's really coming back now. Thanks so much!

Really got a more than a few good ideas from this makeover. Funny, when you poked fun at the messy room, I thought how did she get into my sewing room. Having the room work better is definitely, a better road to creativity. It's hard to be inspired when you have to clean up or look for something and make more of a mess to find the thing to start the project.

A real fabric shop. Luv it

This video shows up in my recommended after watching a bunch of historical sewing vlogs, decide to give this a go, and I subscribe within a minute. XD excited to see what else you got (also I'm oddly hype for sewing/craft room organizing right now...)

wow I am so envious of the amount of fabric you have and well done you for sorting your room.

Nice I’m recently learning to sew your room looks amazing definitely goals👍

Hi, only just found your channel, I think that I am going to enjoy it. Early 2019 I reorganised my fabric and rolled it, I was never happy with it, I think that it looks untidy so I am going to redo it, I like the way that you have done yours so I am going to try it, will order foam board. I know that by now you will have reorganised you patterns but I did mine, some time ago using the Mimi G method. I find it great. I am sat in the living room, as I write, with my file of pattern covers by me! Than you for doing these videos.

Aaaaammmmaaaazzzziiinnnggg! You should do a shop in my stash vid and make it! Wonderful set up! Christine

Omg this is your first video I've seen and I love your energy and I love the sewing room your making!! I hope to one day have a sewing room too 😍😍

Great job! Ikea is such a problem solver while also allowing for flexibility. Love your channel!

I don’t even sew but this was such a fun organizational watch, that turned out so beautiful! 😍😍😍

This video is so damn satisfying! I’d completely forgotten the space looked this way since the new setup is soooooo functional!

Wow really great idea store the fabric this way. 👍😍

You are adorable! I love your ideas. I just went through my fabric and donated it to sisters who make Children's clothes and give them to those in need. I never used it before my babies grew up.

I've been brainstorming how to organize my sewing room after having moved to a new house. I don't want the same sort of mess I had in the last place so have been doing research. I'm not fond of bolts because of the center crease down the middle... but your fabric shelves look so great I may have to reconsider... I'm thinking 6mm laminated wood planks would look stellar... Thanks for making the video and showing your process!

This is a treat, I just subbed earlier today, but I love seeing the stuff from ikea, getting ideas for my own room! 💕

Fabric store storage and the foldaway table😍😍😍

Wow! Amazing! Lots and lots of hard work all by yourself!

I just started cleaning my sewing room as well. Love what you have done with your sewing space. Can’t wait to shop your fabrics.

1st time here. Really enjoyed your ideas.

OMG that was a ton of fabric! It looks great but my goodness!!

Can't even get IKEA to be delivered now. I count this as lucky to be able to go there.

Looks great, thank you for sharing with us

Love this set up and your fold up desk! Genius planning!

I absolutely LOVE how you organized your fabric! I have a ton of nice fabric that I store in big bins and piles and cannot see it, then forget about it and just run out and buy more. Your method of folding it on boards like a fabric store is brilliant! I am going to use your idea for sure as I am planning a big fabric organization and storage solution. One question: what do you do with your scraps once you have cut into the fabric? That is another big problem that I have because I tend to keep the bigger pieces of scrap fabric thinking I may use them someday, and sometimes actually do use them. Just curious how you deal with them. Thanks for the great and entertaining video!

Omgoodness I love your video!!!

This is beautiful, hope to have a space for my sewing soon.

Cant believe I'm the first one to like... your such an organizer job well done.

I'm new to your channel so I've only seen it already done and now I'm going backwards to catch up. This is amazing. I don't have a stash of fabric right now for garments. I have some stash for quilting and stash for knitting. This is absolutely gorgeous. It really does look like you're in a store. Thanks for sharing your process.

Im currently trying to organise my bedroom which also doubles as a sewing/craft room. Been looking online for inspiration and found your videos. I too have been put on a fabric buying fast as i can't fit in fabric and clothes. Its the haberdashery that seems to multiply by itself. Lol Every time I throw stuff out there seems to be more stuff to cram in.

i love your space! i found your video while looking for ways to organize my messy sewing area. i am definitely going to make some homemade bolts. i had considered an ivar system (i used one for my pantry and i love it!) but we don't have the money to spare for new furniture currently, so i'm going to make do with my old kallax stuff 😁 anyway, this is the most practical sewing organization series i have watched yet! thank you so much for sharing ❤️ i hit that subscribe button, for sure!!!

I really like it, congratulations gurl

Hi, thanks for your organisation vids, so helpful and my sewing room is so much easier to use now. Thanks from Scotland x

Brilliant system, looks amazing!

Underestimating your stash, yeah that is totally me right now, decided clean and reorganize our sewing room and I moved most of the fabric into another room to make it easier... it was a bit scary how much there was lol

That’s my plan. I’m not buying anymore fabric until I’ve used at least half of what I have.

Well done! Mine were sorted out last week so my 2020 resolution is to ‘Bash the Stash’!!

Oh my gosh , that looks similar to the shelves my husband is building me! Mine will be straight down the wall. Right now there are industrial type shelves in there and it’s never really worked that well for me.

loooove those fabrics wooow 😍😍😍 the organization is excellent

I'm so inspired to do this. I think it will motivate me to get back in my sewing room as well.

Great job. Looks just fabulous.

😍😍😍😍🤩🤩 A dream sewing space!!!! IKEA = great ideas! Well done! This feels like a great creative/inspiring space to work! Thank you for sharing!!

We've all been there with the forgotten key element to a build...you handled that well !

That is gorgeous! I love that black dress! I hope you have an Etsy shop. ☺️

You are so ambitious!!! Good luck to you.

Wow great job :D Just found your channel! Look forward to looking at your other video's. One thing that helped me personally was taking apart the pattern cover and put them in a binder and then file the patterns and instruction in a special drawer system using plain white envelopes. That's kinda when I realized I have so many! But now I can just take the binder out and look at what pattern I have. Useful too when you go to someone else's place and what to choose a pattern with them. Keep up the awesomeness and happy sewing :D

Wow! That really does look great!!

Awesome and just what I needed! Thanks so much for sharing!

Wow. Just from watching what you have, I have subscribed. I'm excited to see all the things you make. 3

You have awesome video editing❤️ My sewing embroidery room is messy as well😩 Getting ideas for my new space😊

Great job!!!

Glad to your back... great video.

Love the makeover! Just think there is no place for new fabric... Need more shelves!)

I felt overwhelmed seeing your room at first 🙄. You have A great system now love. Love it. I am now overwhelmed about my room 🤪. I am curious about what you will put on sale. We are who we are 😉🤣

Yay! A new video! Please tell us where you found your large sewing/cutting table! I don’t think I’d ever seen it until this video.

omg, I have this same problem! Too much fabric (and yarn and leather) and there's just no place to store any more.

Awesome ideas

Your fabric looks great! Your room will be amazing once its finished, cant wait to see the rest. Am interested in patterns you might destash!

Thaks for the inspiration!
