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).

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.

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
