Explore my sewing space!

Hey everyone,

The past two days have been snow days here in southwestern IL! So, I've been off work :)

What better way to spend a couple days off then in your sewing space?

My husband and I are both 22 years old and he is in Pharmacy school, so no kiddos for us yet, so we have our second bedroom upstairs in use as a partial office/sewing room!

I just wanted to show you around my space, i was able to place all of my fabrics I've been collecting for the past 7 years or so on foam board and the smaller pieces like jelly rolls or fat quarters in those small plastic containers. I really do love my space!

Thanks for looking!

Happy day to all <3

The last picture is of my baby girl :) She isn't much of an inspector but she is a cutie anyway! :)

Nice space and very well organized. And a cute sewing companion. Kind of reminds me of my two inspectors who like to sleep on the job.

Would love for you coe to NY to organize my sewing space.. Nice job..
As for your fur baby, you are lucky she isn't an inspector.. The hair alone would drive me crazy.. She is beautiful.... My last dog shed.. Socrates doesn't...

GREAT space... and really cute inspector, too!! Thanks for sharing!

The best inspector and space too.

llong0233 02-23-2013 08:11 AM

What a calming and relaxing space you have created for yourself. Your inspector looks appreciative of the quiet space, too. Nice work.

Pieces2 02-23-2013 08:22 AM

Great sewing space. :)

Daisy Dew 02-23-2013 08:23 AM

Come on over to my house and organize mine! Bring your buddy and for play day with my two. Looks so nice and comfy I'm turning green :D

feffertim 02-23-2013 08:38 AM

Perhaps you can put something in front of your fabric on boards. I would be afraid of the front edges fading from the sunlight. That happened to me, so now I have a quilted cover hanging in front. Just a thought.

chickadee_42us 02-23-2013 08:49 AM

Your inspecter is the best kind to have. Congratulations on getting this started before 'the future' comes to you. This way you will always have space in your world for you!

DJ 02-23-2013 08:53 AM

Lucky lady! Now it's time to start messing it up! :)

flybreit 02-23-2013 10:18 AM

It warms my heart for a 22 year old to be such a sewing enthusiast! Love your space and your inspector. :-)

Fortyniner 02-23-2013 01:19 PM

While I am jealous of your organized space, I was also excited to open your post and see we have the same Singer sewing machine. I just got mine for Christmas so I am still learning all it does- so far, I really like it but I haven't really tried all the specialty stitches. I just retired from my job and decided to learn how to quilt-thus, the new machine. I was reluctant to purchase a really expensive machine in case I got too frustrated with my new hobby and decided to quit. So far, I am really enjoying the machine and my new hobby. I particularly loooove buying fabric. What's your opinion of the Quantum?

JamieCMilligan 02-23-2013 02:10 PM

Thank you everyone for the nice comments! I love coming to this board to "hang out" with like minded people!

Fortyniner- so far I love my quantum. I have had it for only about 5 months but I have sewn my heart out and quilted two quilts on it! No problems yet! Like you I haven't found the need yet to mess around with all of the 600 different stitch types yet :) my favorite features are the top load bobbin and the automatic thread cutter! I hope to someday in the future purchase a long arm machine to quilt on and use my quantum for piecing :) I taught myself how to sew and how to quilt on a Singer so purchasing another Singer seemed like a good purchase especially considering the price of the machine on Amazon! I hope you like your quantum!

22 yrs. old and wonderfully organized....You must be proud ...love your space and your furbaby...we've had several of the "shelties" and they soooo smart and loyal dogs.

sew_Tracy 02-23-2013 04:58 PM

Lovely space and darling critter!

QultingaddictUK 02-23-2013 05:12 PM

You definitely have a super space in the making and obviously your quilt inspector thinks so too, keep up the good work :)

Gramkc 02-23-2013 05:33 PM

Hi,

What an awesome sewing space. Love it.

MNquiltlady 02-23-2013 07:13 PM

I love your sewing room-just rearanged my room found things I had forgotten I had-now I just need room for a quilt frame to do hand quilting on. Love your inspector, too.

MothrNatr 02-23-2013 07:14 PM

Nicely organized! Love your Geodes.

I love your space and your doggie is beautiful!

par4theday 02-23-2013 08:37 PM

Nice space. So organized and neat. I'm sure you will enjoy many hours spent in there.

pippi65 02-23-2013 09:33 PM

Love your space. Your inspector looks like she's off the clock!! Thanks for sharing.

sharin'Sharon 02-23-2013 11:46 PM

You have a lovely, organized space. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing.

deedum 02-24-2013 05:32 AM

Wow. I am impressed. Very nicely done. Love the quilt inspector too. What a sweetie. Love the fact your quilting at 22 yrs old, that is so wonderful to get started at an early age. I started to,and then didn't, so I was 50 before I actually did. As an earlier post suggested, might want to place a quilt or something over the fabric boards so the sunlight doesn't fade them. I know they are beautiful to see as they are. You have done a fabulous job. I am in central il and waiting for a quilt, no, ah snow day here:)

quiltingeileen 02-24-2013 07:38 AM

Great space. Looking at your fabric so neatly displayed, makes me think I need to deal with mine! Must be so much easier to know what you have. Happy sewing.

wolph33 02-24-2013 09:26 AM

that is a great space.I am happy for you to have a great sewing room.Your dog is adorable.

duwaklj 02-24-2013 10:01 AM

Beautiful sewing place, I love the inspector too!
