I purchased (2) Husky Tables at Home Depot $279 each. 24 x 52" Butcher Block top, metal base, wheels and the height adjustment. I can use them separately. One has my 24 x 36 cutting mat with room to spare. The other holds my removable 24 x 48 ironing board. But when I am doing a large project I just wheel them together and crank them to the same height. Best purchase I've ever made.

I would love to see your setup.

I love my magnetic pin dishes from Harbor Freight I spray painted mine in cute colors to match my sewing room.

I just saw one of them at Harbor Freight yesterday and I immediately thought of how useful for sewing!

So much cheaper at Harbor Freight…especially with a coupon.

That’s where I got mine.

I have the magnetic dish for pins. I love it. I got it on Amazon.

For the cutting tables, I recommend installing locking wheels, actually I would put wheels on everything logical if I could afford it! I store my fabric and thread inside of cabinets with doors or drawers. Fabric fades with time and thread rots. (Indirect and artificial light cause damage over time.) I store some things in the inexpensive shoe boxes that Walmart sells in sets of 10. I also have a slim nine drawer thing that Joannes sells, it’s not a cabinet, there is just a metal framework that holds drawers with wheels. I appreciated your video, some new info by a clear, friendly presenter, that’s all I want! It’s awesome that you’re teaching your grandchildren to sew!

I love hearing all your suggestions. I would have liked to have seen these items in your space. 😊

I just added the sewing machine pad with pockets to my Simplicity vacuum order. 😊

Walmart has that same 16 cube organizer for $112 instead of amazons $167. We have 2

I found one on Amazon but it is $159.

Clear shoe storage bags work great over doors. You can see what you have and there are about 25 pockets. Super for make up too.

This was really excellent. Thank you. I hope you do another

The cover picture you have for this video is so cute!

Thank you!

I bet #3 would be an easy DIY project with Dollar Tree items!

I bet those vinyl holders would be great for sewing stabilizers too.

Ooh great idea!

Great items and tips Kim, I have a sweing corner and can make good use of a few of these😊

Great items. TFS

I bought an clear acrylic lazy Susan ( but it has like a 2.5” side so things don’t fall off)from the dollar store and filled it with essentials in little cups, antique creamer and dust etc to hold everything. Highly recommend. Very handy to spin and have everything at your finger tips.

I just saw those trays in a video on KZread today. What a great idea!

I like the ribbon holder ! Thank you for organizing video.

I just ordered the Simplicity vacuum from your Amazon store. I've been wanting to do this for a while and I just brought my Janome back from being repaired! Going to keep it clean!! 😊

Thanks for the recommendations...best wishes ❤

I absolutely love your shirt, Kim!

Thank you! I’ve been a little out of the loop for a bit as I am just finishing recovering from surgery. I’m back finally! I missed sewing!

I'm a new subscriber. So glad I found your channel. I live close to Ken's Sewing Center. It is my favorite store. Thank you so much for all the useful information. ❤ 😊

I would have loved to see these items in your room.

Thanks for the great ideas! I recently bought a vacuum and it is exactly what I needed to clean out my machines. It's also good for cleaning up the surrounding area.

Me too! Actually, I bought an inexpensive vacuum for overall cleaning (we rent and there is carpet in my sewing room, plus obviously dust bunnies!), and my husband bought me a small handheld vacuum with attachments for my sewing and quilting machines). I recently saw a youtube quilting channel mentioned an air purifier, which I thought was smart because I'm always exposed to lint.

I want to say that Harbor Freight sells some solid looking 60" hardwood workbenches for $179.99 by YUKON, and 48" Metal workbenches with a pegboard backdrop and overhead LEDs for $119.99 by the same Brand. They always seem to have a coupon for one of those magnetic trays to catch your pins and Metal bits in for [they come free with purchase...]

I have used the metal workbench with the pegboard and overhead light for 12 years. It has held up perfectly. I will say my husband did tell me he would not want to put together another one. lol. Lots of parts.

Great video! I have a large peg board on my wall and now I'm going to see if you've done a video on what you store on it. If not, can you do a video of what you put on your peg board? Thank you for all the videos!

I haven’t done one just on the pegboard, but I have done a recent sewing room tour where I showed it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6WmpqiHdZTRaJc.htmlsi=xPae2rd6DoNbQTda

Have a rotating metal mesh basket for sewing items

Would the vinyl storage rack hold rolls of vinyl/faux leather and WPC (waterproof canvas) for bag making? I have my rolls held with white slap bracelets I can label but I need a way to store them.

Great ideas, Kim! I’ll be ruminating over how much I can spend, then come back to use your links. How difficult is putting together the rolling cart? I purchased one from Staples and spent way too long trying to get the screws in. I ended up donating it for someone else to try. If I had four hands, it probably would have worked

I did it myself, and I am not mechanically inclined. They actually weren’t too bad.

I keep my rotary cutters in a drawer near my fabric table.

The Furino cube storage does not hold the regular sized cube baskets. They are smaller. Found some at dollar tree.

The pin cushion in the singer caddy is very stiff and the base is too skinny for my rotary cutter handle.

that is not a rotary cutter. It is a seam press roller.

You mentioned a couple of times you use a projector in your sewing. I’ve never heard of that. Do you have a video that shows what it is and how you use it?

sorry most of the stuff you can get at ikea much cheaper (the storage unit, the smal ironing board, peg board, vinyl storage..)

You sound like a 25 year old, such a young voice

There’s not a single item that you reused or made or thrifted. There’s nothing smart about buying Cricket accessories for Cricket projects. You’re just browsing Amazon. Are you getting kickbacks?

If you use her “links” to make a purchase on Amazon yes she would receive a tiny “kick back”. It is not much, but that is another way You Tube channels receive some support from their viewers/subscribers - nothing out of your pocket - some viewers consider making a purchase through a “link” a show of appreciation for the work put in to making the video.
