Christmas In The (sewing) Studio

My poor sewing machine has been moved around more times than I can count in my attempt to create the perfect sewing…….room, corner, whatever.  It finally became clear that it had to…. #1. be at home and  #2. have its own room so that I could just close the door on my messes.

So……I finally admitted defeat with all of my previous plans and away went the guest bedroom.  Bed….SOLD…..gone forever.  In its place…..

This awesome old table that I picked up at our first barn sale.  LOVE it!  There are two drawers on either side to store goodies.

An old dresser that Heather and I glued vintage buttons on in a swirled pattern.  Each drawer has a different purpose.  Organized!

Although I am fortunate to have a nice walk in closet to store most of my fabric, my tea cart has been requisitioned for current projects.  Heather gave me the slipcovered chair, it’s from Ikea.

And the rest of the room…….just all of that fun stuff that you see when you’re out junking and really don’t have a place for.  Yep, it all goes in this room.

Dress form, vintage hats, flowers I’m working on.

Much of this collection came from my Mother and Grandmother so it’s very special.

These little Christmas mice are probably my favorites!

I saw this idea on Pinterest.  The top of my dispenser has a light in it.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.  Wouldn’t it be fun if I could just pull the lever and dispense buttons when I needed them!

My sewing chair.  I reupholstered the cushion in red.  Looks like I have a possible color scheme going here!

Love LOVE the little table that Heather painted for me.  It sits right beside me when I sew and has a shelf underneath for my note books.

Where most of my trims and ribbon live.  Works great because I can see what’s inside from all sides.

Mostly pastel Christmas on this shelf.

I made this lighted rag garland for our booth at the last barn sale.  It’s found a permanent home here.

And Jack demonstrates how to relax on a sunny winter day.  I had other plans for this laundry basket but oh well…….

Yes, there’s a LOT of stuff in this room.  I  know that this much clutter is not for everyone ,  but it inspires me and has  become one of my favorite rooms in the house.

Merry Christmas from my sewing room!

  1. How great, Denise! You've got some great things here to surround yourself with. I love having a separate room for my sewing and crafts, small as it is. I'm sure you will have many enjoyable hours in this room!
