Was anyone else taking notes? I would be totally prepared if there was a pop quiz lol. This entire video is sprinkled with a ton of little golden nuggets that pretty much anyone can apply to whatever space they are creating in. Plus you can see that this space actually functions with real world applications, and isn't the usual 'pristine pinterest sewing room' tour🙄 This was a lovely video to watch and thank you for sharing! ❤

Sewing "space"? I'd call it a Sewing Kingdom! Perfect for the sewing Queen! Sure wish I had one as large and organized as yours, Laura! Enjoy and thank you for sharing! 🌹

Beautiful. Great job. I used the bedroom in my apt as a sewing room and I love it too. I dont have as much stuff as you, but as im old, it is still probably going to outlive me!😄

I love that you used everything you already had and didn’t’ go for a “complete” makeover. And reusing and repurposing even the spools. 👍🏻💕

Wow such a great sewing space you have. Very professionally done at the same time very relaxing environment. Good idea to use pvc pipes to raise the cabinets to suit your needs. God bless and thank you for sharing your special place for us to enjoy

Laura, thank you for sharing. After I lost my husband I moved by my kids to Portland, Oregon, no basements in this area. So I searched for a home with living room open to dining room , it’s my dream sewing studio. Since I have a separate kitchen open to family room I’m all set. I used PVC too! You shared many great ideas, thank you. You are my sewing angel!

Hello how are you doing today ❤

I'm so jealous. I wish I had a sewing room. Instead, I sew in my bedroom and it's such a pain to have to use my bed and put everything away when it's bedtime. So often I'm in the middle of a project and have to put it all away and then get it all out the next day. I need to win the lottery!

Beautiful space and very well organized. One thing missing, a coffee pot. lol

I love how you have a realistic sewing room instead of one that looks prettier than it functions. You have given me so many great ideas for my space. 💕

Now and than I have to see your Video to remember how to organice my space. It reminds me what is funcional and pretty. Thank you. Greetings from Vienna, Austria.

Best video of a sewing space I think I've seen ever. The ergonomics are important and you have alot of great ideas to achieve that. Your basement ceiling is so high, what a relief! Thank you sharing the tour!!!

Thank you very much for showing us your sewing studio. Greeting from Argentina!

Covid has changed all that. Life does opennew chapters for us. Enjoy your sewing In your happy sewing room!!!

This is one of the best sewing room videos I’ve seen. Such clever and unique ideas that are custom-designed for the user. You’re a true creative! Love your new space.

🍃🌸🍃 I love the idea of covering art canvas with flannel for slide in storage!🍃🌸🍃

98% of us that's so do not have the luxury of a beautiful workable large sewing area that you have but it was so nice to see it. There are many ideas of organization that you showed in your room that can be put to use in small rooms also. Your dream room is absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful wonderful place to sew

You can buy a belt for your treadle machine on eBay and they are not expensive. I know this because my husband restores Vintage sewing machines. He has 300 to 350 machines out in our barn. He has a few treadles, but mostly electric machines. Your sewing room is fantastic! I'll be making my sewing room over, hopefully this year. I share my sewing space with my husband's repair space up in our big barn. My area is about 25 feet by 15 feet. I plan to use a lot of your ideas in my area. Thank you so very much for showing us your space!

You put so much thought into each “station”-I watched in amazement. I am so happy for you. Thanks for sharing all your great solutions. I’m going to store the manuals on the side of my new sewing table like you did. 🌹And Your touches of red, black, and white in your dove gray room did not go unnoticed!

I would exchange the couch for a bed and live in there. What a fabulous space you have to craft in. You are so lucky in the States to have big rooms and basements. I’m very envious. You are extremely well organised. I can identify with your early sewing space days and we all progress from that. Lots of hints and tips, so tku for those.

I learned so many lessons in organization and the tools to help us get there! Thank you Laura for a truly inspirational video :)

Hi Rena

Great video Laura! I loved the tour of your new sewing room. You have given us so many good and practical ideas. I love the story of the evolution and history of your sewing path. My father bought my mother a beautiful Singer sewing machine and cabinet when I was just a baby. That is 60+ years ago now. My sisters and I learned to sew on that faithful machine. I think each of us would like to inherit that machine one day. I purchased a White treadle sewing machine when I was visiting in Chicago for $35. The people were hapoy to get rid of it. I was thrilled with such a treasure. I hauled it in the bed of a pickup truck all the way to Alaska, so I could sew without electricity. I sewed lots of baby clothes for my daughter with that beautiful machine. Thank you for sharing your life and stories with us.

She’s a professional at presentations. A real natural. Quite enjoyable to watch, and useful.

Dear Laura-thank You for this lesson in ergonomics. I was sewing all day last week and woke up with a shooting pain in my neck and was worried. I went down to my sewing area after your video and saw that my sewing machine is too high for my chair (I don’t have 90 degree angle with shoulders and elbows. I will be replacing my chair with an adjustable one and planning my sewing room changes with the principles you taught me.

"Sew" many ideas Laura, thank you for sharing!

I’m short too and find rubber tongs a great way to reach spools of thread that are out of reach.

It's a lovely and functional space and I love the old machines - I learned on a treadle back in the early 50s that was my grandmother's. And I was given a 3-tier version of that sewing box that folds out, I think around 1962. It's been through several refurbishing rounds and I still use it today!

How beautiful! Most of my life since I've been married I've sewn from the dining room table clearing it only when company was coming. Now that my daughters are married and our nest is empty I have a second bedroom I use. It's not very big but it's ok. We moved recently and I'm disabled so I'm still working on getting it organized but I have the furniture set up. Thank you for the inspiration.

What an awesome room and an awesome video! So many great, functional ideas. I so much love the sofa and chair in the corner. Great spots to hand stitch or just put your feet up, look around the room and feel blessed! Thank you for sharing.

Love your sewing room and all your ideas. Thank you !!!!

I agree with you as I constantly change my sewing studio around thinking this is the best arrangement ever!!! Heck no. Here I go again with a new idea I see from you or others on youtube, Haha

Thank you for the tour of your terrific sewing palace! I am still using my kitchen table and sometimes the dining room table! I really appreciate the tips you offered.. I kept my Mother's sewing machine, I am downsizing but refused to give it up. It was the first thing my parents bought on credit, they paid cash for everything else, if they didn't have the money they didn't buy. It is in a beautiful cherry wood cabinet and it is a "keeper"! I have good memories of Mom teaching me to sew. Thanks again I enjoy your videos so much!

Wow! Just WOW! You’ve done a marvelous job designing your new sewing space! A few ideas for you: You might can consider reupholstering your couch. We redid our antique sofa in white brocade and it’s just gorgeous. Also hung tasteful lace curtains on the window behind it. Lace curtains for your windows would let the light through. The thread up high seems a little unhandy. Maybe your husband could rig something cool, like in the closets in the movie Overboard or the movie Princess Diaries 2. I’m itching to see inside all those drawers and cabinets! Maybe you’ll show us in a later video. Last idea: A labeller would be a handy thing to have for labelling your projects area, drawers and notions. All in all it’s everyone’s dream space! My great grandmother used to say, “A place for everything and everything in its place!” And that’s what you’ve achieved. Way to go!
