It looks lovely Michelle. Had to laugh at the room before the reorganisation. 😂 it reminded me of my previous sewing space. I was shoe horned into a corner of my husbands study, he wasn’t particularly happy about but put up with it. The space was smaller than your room lol. It was a tip. Our son finally moved two weeks ago so my sewing room is now his old bedroom. I have so much space ❤❤❤. I’ll see if I can put a couple of photos on Andreas Facebook page or maybe instagram. I’d be very interested to see how you use trello for your pattern storage 👍. Xx

Thankyou so much for sharing your neatly organized little sewingroom! I completely understand the feeling when it’s a bombshell around you, I loose my creativity completely and the wonderful feeling of relief when it’s all clean and tidy again! You’ve really made the most of that tiny little space you have! I’m curious about where you iron as that’s such a big part of a sewing project? And if you have a full length mirror somewhere near? It would be interesting to know what camera and softwear you use for your filming, vlogging and still shots, I would really appreciate a video about that! I’m lucky to have a quite large room to sew in and I love organisation, but it gets really messy anyway when I’m in the middle of a project or have an upcoming exhibition soon (I’m a textile artist as well as sewing for myself and my family). Take care Michelle! I’m full of admiration for your work with your KZfaq channel! 💖

@lorieburtt592 Жыл бұрын

Very nice! I have sewn in all sorts of spaces, from quite large to very tiny. In my experience, it isn’t the size of the space that determines how well it works. One house I rented years ago was so small that I actually had to create a tiny sewing “room” within the living room, by arranging a large media shelf in a way that left a large area behind it. It was tight quarters, but it forced me to be organized, and I did a lot of good work there.

Yes that is true! I think if I had a larger room it would actually be harder to maintain x

I appreciate the before shots. That's what my space looked like before I packed up every thing in preparation of moving house. Can you do an update later in the year saying if you've maintained the system you've put in place or if you had to change things around? I always fall back into chaos after organising. I don't know if it's because I'm lazy or if it's because I haven't found a system that works well. 😁

Hi Michelle, what a fantastic tidy-up!! How long did it take you? I was so interested in every little part of it and how you manage to make the most of your available space. I think I need to do the same now, even though my sewing space is smaller than yours, your vlog showed me that I could definitely make better use of what I have. Maybe you missed your vocation, as I think Marie Condo’s ideas pale into insignificance compared to yours! I would be incredibly interested in seeing how you use Trello for your patterns and fabrics, so yes please film this vlog when you get a chance. Many thanks. Katrina x

Aww thank you so much! 🥰 I found that doing it in small steps felt much less overwhelming.

its always fascinating to see how other sewists store fabric and patterns. i use mostly indie patterns bought as pdfs so i have a standing wrapping paper storage box for my A0 prints of the pattern then i have a narrow shoe storage unit (ikea brusali) that fits the legal envelopes i use for the tracings of my size. i am definaly interested in how you use the app to organize your patterns, if its not an indie pattern in my wrapping papper bin i have to do a lot of hunting to see if own it or not
