Sewing Space, Now with more drilling

Remember back when I showed you preview photos of my sewing space?  Yeah, me either!

Well, I said that it was in need of a bit more drilling and I'm pleased to say that's been done by the lovely Mr Magpie:


Have I ever mentioned how much I love Ikea?  That's one of their Bygel rails, which was a bargainacious £2, add on some hooks (which were about £1 for 10), a Bygel basket for bits and pieces and a Fintorp pot for pens.

I'm thinking of making an inspiration line from that duck egg cord to peg inspirational images and pieces of fabric from, I'll put it between the rail and the top of my machine.

Everything being put away makes me feel happy and relaxed and ready to work and create.


This might well be my favourite adage - maybe I need to make a hanging embroidery that says that?

Oh, and yay for cutting implements arranged in size order ;)

    1. Thanks, Melizza. I am really lucky as it's a corner in a much larger room with three huge windows, so there's plenty of light!

  2. Ooh lovely! I too am jealous. I don't have a dedicated sewing space - our spare bedroom is my office as I work from home, so I have to use the dining room table and put everything away in a cupboard when I'm finished.

    1. Thanks, Sam. I am really lucky that we've got room for me to have a dedicated area for sewing (and some work, but that's less exciting!) - I've had to put everything away when we've lived elsewhere and I might have to again one day when we next move, but for now I'm making the most of it! There are some really inspirational small spaces people have worked out for their sewing and crafts, like some I've seen online which are built-in wardrobes and cupboards - they look lovely. Perhaps you could find space for something like that?
