A sewing channel for the real world! Thanks so much! Im a messy sewer, myself. I try to be tidy as I sew, but somehow it never works.

I don’t like being interrupted when I am sewing, but I do have friends who sometimes come and keep me company while I work on things for them. They help with handling large pieces of fabric, taking things apart, pressing, etc. This kind of company is always welcome in my sewing room.

I live in an RV so I don't have a lot of room. The one thing I decided I didn't need in my sewing room was my bed so I tore it out along with the carpet and now I'm painting the floor and changing the bedroom into my sewing/craft room. I have no problem sleeping on the couch as long as I have a good sewing/craftroom. I am very excited to get it finished!

Amen, sweet Claire! Your tips are spot on. I remember when you decluttered your lounge . . . it looks absolutely beautiful now. I cannot tolerate a messy floor. I sweep and mop after every project. I know . . . it's ridiculous . . . OCD behavior some would say. A dirty iron is another pet peeve. I clean it before it has the opportunity to give me dagger eyes. I have two matching bedroom bureaus for storage. Each drawer is organized . . . thanks to you. No more unnecessary tools or supplies! Just so you'll know -- you are the YT Queen Bee! Bye for now, love.

I’ve pretty much got my sewing room fixed up so that it works quite well for me. I did have little problem with 2 containers that I just had things thrown in. So I went to the dollar tree and spent about $6.00 on some plastic cups & little square containers. It has made all the difference in the world. I do need to do some organizing . I do pick up my floor & empty the trash weekly. I have good overhead light and my sewing machine light. I’m really enjoying the light even more because I got cataract surgery on my right eye this past Thursday. I got my left eye done on the 20th. I’m also enjoying being outside looking at everything. I need to do a lot of organizing in my house but right now is little stressful. Not only am I having cataract surgery but my son has also been getting it done. Plus we’ve had car work done and just other things. We both have eye drops four times a day for a total of 10 weeks and there is 4 different eye. So until things get more back to normal I’m just doing little general housecleaning and organizing will just have to wait.

Great reminders Claire. Love them. Thank you.

That has some excellent advice. I’m having to downsize as my husband passed away and my house is too big for me to manage. My new abode has a spare room that I will use as sewing room, plus extra bedroom. I have 50 years worth of stuff! I was always a tidy sewer, but have accumulated a lot of things I don’t need or use. You’re very inspirational…thanks 🇦🇺

Wow you look amazing! The best revenge! 💋

Thanks for the tips! My sewing room is a very small bedroom, and my 2 hobbies merge there. Half the room is camping & hiking gear. I successfully re-homed most of my books at "Free Little Libraries" around my neighborhood. I'm a curator of quality thrift store fabrics and patterns, and my biggest need is to actually use these things, and then donate beautiful, finished items.

Always appreciate your advice. 👍✌️❤️ Great seeing you .

😀😍😍. Glad you're back. I missed😍😍

Great advice today Claire...thank you x 🇦🇺

Lol cannot stop laughing. I hate when anyone comes into my sewing room.its like, "What do you want" I just want to concentrate and get into my sewing.

Hi Claire, you look fabulous today and I love the sweatshirt ! You always have such great advise, thank you. Cheers from Canada.

I love your Bees shirt! ❤️🐝

Probably the tv, but I do have one (I share). My husband is a manic de-clutterer, so I have to be clever about stockpiling. What I don't need is a pile of free or old patterns I don't like. I'm retired, who needs secretarial wear?

You’re looking fab by the way! X

It’s always great to see you on here talking all things sewing! Keep it going 😊

Solid advice. From some of your earlier decluttering tips, I’ve been purging both my closets and stash. You’re looking radiant, healthy and happy!

Very good advice and I can relate. I donated a bunch of quilt notions that I would never use to my local quilt group.

Always a delight to watch your videos. You look beautiful! Thank you for the great suggestions. Straight away I will be moving my sewing table from against my wall to under my window and putting the credenza that is currently under the window up against the wall.why didn’t I do this sooner? 🤪

Great advice I'm looking for better lamp for my sewing thanks for a great video 😊😊😊

Great video! I especially liked the WIP part and now feel inspired to do something about my two WIPs 😊

Great advice. Thank you.

Wow. I needed his today. Thank you.

Getting rid of Furniture! That is a big one, it is one of the biggest decisions and hardest to accomplish. Thanks.

Only two things not allowed in my sewing space are pets and any drink other than water. I’m a messy creator so there’s usually not much room for anyone or anything other than me. 🤣 Always enjoy your videos.

I use to have a sewing room . I now live in a small apt and it is now in my living room and I have a little dog so I have to clean my floor. My fabrics and one sewing table is in my bedroom . I rarely have people in my apt . so I have almost no furniture. I just got a reading chair. lol the other is the dogs chair.

Youre Reling the truth. I Love the way your are ♥️

I relate so much to the idea of avoiding the room when it's too cluttered or messy. My husband has put a lot of stuff in my room and I have been avoiding it. I bought a new machine in October and I have hardly used it because of having to shimmy around my husband's clutter!

You look fabulous!! You've inspired me to move out some crap today. I thank you. I do the Karen Brown clean up of my quilting room every January but she doesn't discuss stuff like furniture. Good job!!

Claire, so sorry that you’re feeling low - I recommend go carnivore - the fatigue will go AWAY!! We need you to keep up with the great videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Love the hoodie

Love thus video and lotta things you said i could relate! Gotta change and thanks to you i will!

I miss you/your videos. Hope you can get back to a regular schedule.

All excellent points. I am lucky to have my own sewing space and strict about what is in there and everything having a place. However when I downsized last year my sewing space moved from a purpose built cabin in the garden to a bedroom. It has its advantages I.e close to bathroom😂😂 but I do get so many more interruptions!!! They are sometimes welcome e.g. a cuppa but sometimes annoying as you say. Good Luck with your move and wonderful to see the diet working so well for you. 😊. Lynne

Headphones in leave me alone, I'm in the zone😂. I prefer no one in my sewing space. Hubby changed the lighting in the room and its been brilliant. My sewing space doubles as WFH space so I have to keep them separate. I've so much remnant fabric, so I've stored it elsewhere as the clutter messes with my head. This vid was brill Claire. Thank you

You are 'spot on' with this video. You have inspired me to assess my sewing space. Right now, it is a cluttered mess. Thank you. ❤

Cool top. You've lost weight. PEOPLE!!!! YES!!! Great other points.

Love your tshirt!

You're looking look 😊😊 as always so many of yours tips resonate ❤

Great vlog again Claire really enjoyed the advice given….❤😊

My room is total chaos but because I had to empty my closet because we had a roof leak! Until it's repaired, I can't return the stuff. Usually, the mess slows me down but because I know it's temporary I am ok.

Love your top!!!

when I took home ec in highschool, our teacher insisted we clean up each time we ended a sewing session. that stayed with me and is very helpful.

Agree with most of it, but there is nothing I love more than when my grandson is talking to me, or needs something. It makes my sewing time even brighter. But not a lot of things get me frazzled when I sew or quilt. 😊

My cat loves to come and sit right on top of my projects as I am working on them. It’s soooo annoying and he knows it. I’m pretty sure he does it just to annoy me 🤣

I like to go to thrift stores for sewing notions and fabric. I see something I may need but see extra pack of sewing needles, I will pass because I have enough hand sewing needles. Unless make needle books as gifts. Sometimes get lucky for example Fiskars pinking shear but ened up with 3 extra knives. 😂

I’m a messy sewer by throwing threads on the floor!

❤

I would deadbolt my sewing room door shut, if I knew how to install one. It would take more than a day, or more than several weeks to get that end of my home decluttered. This is the dilemma when you have lots of different interests, and you deal with different disabilities, and poor vision.

No cat

People Get Out lol
