No cause when the cat jumped off the desk I blew it a kiss because of my doing it to my cats so often
Ngl to know that such wonderful costumes have come out of a space like this is really inspiring. I don’t have much room. But heck it might be enough.

Right ? You just need a dream, a table, some sewing supplies, and maybe some wall space to hang up some ridiculously big hats and maybe just maybe ....we can all become cosplay craftsmanship masters
OMG your crafting room was so cute!!

Yes and I think her end message was so sweet! I started sewing In my childhood bedroom which was super tiny. I had a desk in the closet but my Dad got me a really nice sewing machine from an estate sale and from then on I was putting on my own altered goodwill fashion show. Now I have a big room I share with my husband to create in 😊. I actually made the formal wear I went to a wedding in last week. No matter where we start it’s good to start!
Yes I love craft room tours!

Thank you for inspiring me to start sewing. My dad fixed my grandma's machine a couple days ago and I've been playing around with it for a couple of hours after a stressful day at work. I'm in love. For literally years, I thought cosplay was so cool but unreachable. Your videos and detailed graphics make me feel like one day, I'll actually be able to make something (whether its good or not is a different story XD). I've not seen much of your work outside of youtube (because I don't really use anything else), but the fact that you made your Miku in such a small space is amazing!! I'm excited for your future uploads and I can't wait to learn more about sewing!!

Literally her miku cosplay is a great example of tackling a big goal in parts and sections so by the time you trick yourself into doing it boom You have a beautiful piece
Honestly, this video was so inspiring to watch, coming from someone who was always overwhelmed by the amount of professionalism of sewers had if that makes sense?? But seeing the gadgets and gizmos aplenty kinda made sewing seem impossible and expensive. Watching your videos and seeing how you make these incredible creations in a similar setup to what I had was the jumpstart of me learning to sew. And it makes me so happy that someone as talented as you are getting a dedicated space to create even more amazing things!!
Before you got to the end I was just sitting here "What is this 'cutting table' of which you speak? Do we not just cut on the floor while constantly moving the cat?" I really like this tour because I do all my cosplay work in a corner of my living room
you inspired me to start cosplaying after years and it feels so good to do something i love again
The thing the serger is sitting on, the Ikea equivalent is the Alek series. I bought one last year... it's actually the first furniture I bought, and I love it. I covered it in a wood looking vinyl sticker to make it not white and match with the rest of my room. Funny you mention every youtuber having a massive sewing room. Cathy Hay just uploaded a video a few hours ago of her getting rid of her sewing room and trying out a traveling life style
a breath of fresh air! finally someone who doesn't have the most grand crafting room and ALSO someone who doesn't shit talk IKEA! They are great value i don't see why people hate on it so much lmfaooo

I loved this! Things like that old keyboard hidden behind everything is so relatable as a crafter and user of secondhand items as well. You’ve inspired me to try to film a tour of my own craft space. Can’t wait to see your brand new craft room too! ✨
That video is so emotional! I'm crying I'm the Ukrainian girl, so might be some misspellings or logical mistakes. I found your KZread channel not a while ago. I felt in love with it! I want to start cosplaying, but no way I'm going to sew. I just want to do funny stuff as character. But today... I'm packing my stuff right now, preparing to leave the current place and finally return home. I haven't seen my friends and family for almost a year at all. I wish to both of us luck in a new places!

@@wickersspookies Yes! I am :) I'm so glad to be back, I'm now working in NGO helping people here and can't be happy more in comparison to pressure of being alone always away from everyone
I've gotten way more sewing and crafting done in the tiny corner of my childhood bedroom than in the whole office/craft room I have now, so I completely understand! Sometimes having a smaller space make it easier to focus and get work done. But having the storage of a larger area definitely is great, so please enjoy!! Hopefully we can get a craft room tour when your new place is all set up :)
My roommate and I share an office where he works everyday and I only work on cosplay so it’s nice to see how other people deal with the combo 😂
you inspired me to finally start making cosplays and i’m set up in my garage making my first miku cosplay ever!! love your videos, keep smiling :))
LoL i sit on a 4 foot wide, 1.5-1.75 ft. tall beanbag chair (LOVE IT! I can lay on it like a nest) with a rolling storage … thing that holds some books, my interchangeable knitting needle sets, knitting tools, dry erase note size boards, markers, junk lol. And the wasted space in my bedroom has big bins of bare & dyed yarn stash.
I also share a space with my husband. We live in a small cottage currently and he has one side and I have the other. We "parallel play" a lot and it's how we spend a lot of time together. He is usually 3D-printing or working on homework or playing a game and I'm usually sewing or drawing--it's nice.
I'm 52 and I still cut on the floor. I like it though, and I have a great sewing room. You've inspired me to get it more organized! I also edit embroidery stuff in here on an old, beat up laptop, so I can relate. Camera stuff, too. Thanks for sharing this because it has me rethinking my sewing/craft space, too. I always see the "look at my awesome new room" videos without the reality shots of "before" so this is much appreciated.
HAPPY 100K SUBS!!! Your current craft room has always been such a lovely sight, it doesn't look like a showroom and you can actually see the hardwork going into everything at different points in time! I can't wait to see what your next one looks like and what you will do in it!
most people are watching for the craft room, but that bit about the thread spools was really interesting! I appreciate all the time you take in your videos to share information about that sort of thing!
Tassel is an absolutely wonderful name for a cat- what a sweetie!
Thank you for explaining that bit about the thread, now I know why my machine acts so stupid with certain threads. Great video!
Hopefully, your new space will be way more functional for you!

Its absolutely magical so far!
I’m starting with my dining room table so It’s nice to see that I can make do with the little space I have
I am going to närcon this summer and I can't wait to see your performance at NCC! Last year I waited in line outside the main stage for 3.5 hours to get all the way in the front, and I do plan on doing it again this year as well!
For anyone else in shelf hell with busted clips, they can be purchased separately, Home Depot carries some that should work for most applications. Not everyone gets new stuff, I'm in the same boat, but sometimes buying a new thing to fix an old thing makes the old thing so much less annoying!! Or go for a walk on the last garbage day of the month (especially ends and beginnings of school sessions) where people are moving out and leaving furniture at the curb, sometimes those clips and sometimes even extra shelves can be scavenged pretty easily if you're not concerned with what the neighbours might say. My current cutting table is one of those cardboard cutting mats from the sewing store on top of a scavenged glass tabletop sitting on top of my rabbit's crate... My ironing board and iron are up a flight of stairs from where I do my sewing. All my machines were handmedowns or gifts except for the fanciest one which needs a trip to the specialist... but where I sit and hand sew I've got everything within reach that I reasonably need, and if I need to go across the room to use one of my machines, all I need to grab is a pincushion cause I wound up with duplicate thread snips so one lives by the machines, though I probably should make more pincushions so there's always one or two at the machine, I keep forgetting to put an empty one there after I grab the full one to use for projects. I think organizing a craft space is mostly doing the best you can with what you have then modifying it to suit as best you can until it stops making you hate it... I bin things too, partially for organization, partially to keep them away from somebunny and his teeth, though some fabric bins are missing corners now... . Mending bin, darning bin, UFO bin and bins to keep the crocheting stuff separte from the sewing stuff separate from the embroidery stuff, and my rule is something has to come out of the mending bin, the darning bin AND the UFO bin before scissors can be used on a new project. And I have one of those plastic chest of drawers on wheels things to contain my one extra pair of scissors (I'm left-handed so I don't have many scissors) and measuring tapes and chalk and all the stuff somebunny keeps trying to eat or steal.
Tassel is such a good cat name, as a sound its just got that whimsy that a cat deserves
wow that was a great tip about the thread... criss cross thread spooling like gutterman for horizontal feeding, horizontal thread spooling like coats and clark for vertical feeding..
Honestly that tip about how the winding direction of thread on spools affects how smoothly they come off the spool depending on the direction they're held on the machine was surpsingly illuminating. And I will be keeping that in mind when using my Janome (which can do both vertical and horizontal, but horizontal is default).
Love what you have accomplished in such a small space! If you end up getting a kitchen table or desk as your cutting table in the future, I highly recommend using furniture risers under them. It makes cutting so much easier on your back😊……never mind 😂looks like you already have a new room! Enjoy.

Thanks for the tip! I got the adjustable table legs from ikea and they go up pretty high but they still might be a little short for me, so I might end up getting furniture risers for it!
I think there's something deeply human and archaic about sewing/cutting on the floor. I prefer to have access to a table to cut but there's some serious Good Vibes whenever I settle on the floor to cut and sew a project. I feel Right and at peace doing simple Human crafts with the space and materials available.
I'm gonna miss your little corner! Such a beautiful, comfy space where so much creativity and hard work was displayed. Super glad you'll be getting a dedicated space to your craft though!
I've managed to snag a few quilting rulers at thrift stores, definitely worth it. 'Grats on getting upgraded!

Congrats on having those outfits at the sewing expo! And its really cool seeing this room! Its not only a way for us to see this, but for you to come back to and see where you started from. I wish myself that I had more pictures and videos of my old home where I started out making art so its awesome to have all that here for you.
100k!!! Congrats 🎉!
it's AMAZING how much you've done in the corner you had. very inspiring!
Miss Sarah Spaceman I am so looking forward to watching this video and doing some hand beading! I haven't a clue how you make them so darn quick but your videos always make my day! The editing the explanations... Fantastic all around!
I never paid attention to how my thread is spun 😮 I will pay attention to it next time I sew. Thank you for this information! 😊
Okay but your Undyne looks AMAZING 🤩 Can't wait for the full tour! Congratulations on the new space and 100k subs!!
This made me feel so much better about my highly unorganized crafting/recording set up🥹😂 thank you for being authentically you💖
few days ago, when I was watching your kokomi cosplay, I really wanted to see a tour of your craft room and then you upload one :)
CONGRATS ON 100k !!!!
I love ❤️ your crafts, Sarah! 🪡
can't wait to see the new space! You did miracles in this room
Love this! I only just started with sewing and cosplay so I'm living out of one box and the tiny drawers on my fold-out table, but shallow drawers are my life when it comes to organising stuff :D
Congrats on the dedicated craft room and the 100k+ subs! It's really... I don't know... reassuring?... to know that you were able to craft all of that amazing stuff in such a small space. We recently downsized and I have a room that has about that much space for crafting (the rest is storage and my office) and I was worried I wouldn't be able to do the big stuff without invading the kitchen table. But if you can make those enormous outfits on that desk, I can make them on mine! well... I don't know about that, but at least lack of space won't be the limiting factor :D
You did so much in such a small space-so inspiring! Thank you for that tip about the winding of the thread and storing the thread where it’s safe from dust! Very excited to see your new space ❤ Thank you for the video!
This is actually so relatable kinda! I don’t even have a special crafting space I just work on my kitchen table and I live with my family so I have to move my stuff a lot but I’m still working with what I’ve got and it’s working! Your crafting corner is so cute!

You are an inspiration! I am so glad that you started on KZread.
i love your videos especially as a beginner at sewing (taught myself mid pandemic via youtube) bc theres a lot of concepts and things like patterns that are hard for me to understand & doing certain cosplays with sewing theres no tutorials and i gotta wing it but seeing your videos has helped enormously since u break down the sewing concepts into regular language and understandable chunks with nice visuals of everything so even if its not the same cosplay were working on i still reference your videos a lot for certain sewing basics if that makes sense. also i 100000% relate to no craft room space (getting one soon tho yay) i currently sew on the floor/kitchen counter/an ikea desk in my dining room lol 😊💕
Yesss the heart and soul of my craft space is ikea furniture
Omg, I'm so glad to find someone else who also collects llamas from cons. Mine live on the back of my lounge and on my bookcases. They're still really easy to get at the Australian cons, I've been lucky of that. Last count, I have 16 but I think I have more than that now.
I'm moving soon and this is so inspiring for me for how I want to try and organize my crafting space!
I was rewatching some of your old videos while studying thinking “Man I can’t wait for the next video!” And just now when I went back on KZread-!
I love how cute your craft room was!
God....... Why couldn't I come across your channel sooner - the way you explain camera stuff with the visual edits helping to further the point THATS how I remember stuff! That makes sense ! Will I remember all the terms and names right off no- but it's so refreshing to hear something explained like a good friend,coworker , or teacher would rather than the belittling tone that I am ever used to when people talk camera stuff or technical terms
I'm so happy that you're getting your own dedicated craft room!!

Thank you for sharing! I make cosplays in my dining room. Supplies are all kept in an old dresser and one corner of a closet. Lol! I'm excited you'll have a dedicated space! I think it's every crafters dream.
Has nothing to do with your craft room tour, but I am obsessed with the brass music you use in your video. In the before times I was a professional trumpet player and as I have been working more on cosplay I don't play as much as I used to. I miss the days when I had a dedicated place to play, but this has reminded me that one doesn't need a dedicated space ❤
Thanks for explaining the camera part I have that same camera and didn’t know how the lens part worked 💜
Love this 😍
As someone's who's dorm is also my craft room, I'll add some of these little things you point out
I loved this video SO much!! Honestly I was cosplaying for eleven years before I got my own craft room, and even now it's an extremely humble space that I just organized the crap out of. I truly love the pfaffs you have, I also sew on a handmedown pfaff and it's full of very special family memories c:
I use my dining table thats big enough for 6. Works perfectly for cutting and sewing. There's only four people in the house so nobody uses that side. Or I'll use my countertop for cutting.
Why is everything you do so fun to watch
idk if you have enough scissors there /j Also I had no idea that's why the threads were spun differently! It was cool to learn that about how the positions affected how it unraveled!
Congrats on 100k

congratulations on the upgrade! it's a collective dream to have a dedicated sewing room
You and my great-aunt inspired me to really dig back into cosplay my great aunt sadly passed in 2021 and she was a seamstress, taught me quite a few things I inherited almost all of her equipment a serger a singer embroidery and sewing machine an old 1970s machine and so much of just the bits and Bobs cutting mats everything she literally set me up to do amazing things if I decide to go for it(I even inherited a treadle machine from her VICTORIAN SEWING MACHINE LIKE) Also though just seeing your competition video gave me enough courage to fully commit to a competition this May in Novi Michigan at Motor City Comic Con I am ungodly nervous as I'm doing Beast Wirt from Over the Garden Wall but seeing how small your room is it actually is so inspiring because my space is exactly the same and the factor that International competition piece came out of this tiny little space is so impressive and inspiring, keep being amazing and hope to see the new room soon!
The quilting rulers are so lit I agree I remember being iffy on it due to the price but man I don’t regret it at all.
omg yes finally someone said it! I always see those hanging thread organizers and I think they are impractical too (because of the dust)
I love your channel! You actually inspired me to sew a cosplay for a convention this summer! Ive sewn before but never clothing, more quilting and such so im pretty ok at a straight line LOL but your videos are so helpful and motivating for me to actually sit down and try sewing clothing (which is pretty scary 0-0 ) So thank youu
PLEASE I BEG YOU MAKE A WHOLE SERIES ON CAMERAS AND HOME SHOOTING/EDITING. I have such a hard time comprehending photography beyond using my cell phone and capcut:')
Love your videos and awesome I caught this one kinda early !
thank you so much for mentioning the small space stuff!! i live with my partner in a very small one room apartment and we're both cosplayers and it really is possible to do great things in a tiny space!! It may need more creativity on how to fit everything but it's definitely doable :0 people may think you need a lot of space, but really its only an empty spot on the floor or a table and you can do anything!! :D
Congratulations with new apartment 💖
Love the room! It’s super cute 💗 I honestly just sew in my bedroom on my desk that’s already super full of stuff haha
I also have a sewing corner kinda thing, definitely can relate with you.
This was actually really helpful and inspirational because I am currently living in a single 11x13 room with my fiance, and all of our belongings are in this one single room. I don't have room for a dress form or anything fancy, I hardly have room to cut my fabirc on the floor. Sometimes I even have to travel to my parents house just to cut my fabric on larger pieces. This was really helpful in realizing that people do start small, and I should just not give up and anticipate the future and to keep going
