I’ve posted a few pictures of my sewing space on Instagram lately and I’ve had requests for a tour of the little space I create in.
My favorite feature of our new house was this quirky little room that is located right off of the family room. In my previous space, I used a wall in the laundry room that was pretty far away from the rest of the family, but had quite a bit of built in wire shelving. The new space was pretty empty and while it didn’t really have furniture or storage, I loved that I could still be a part of my family while I sew!
I still miss my pretty, aqua walls, but I am thrilled with how this space turned out after chipping away at my to-do list for the last year. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing some of the projects that we created to make this room functional, pretty, and comfortable.
The biggest project by far is this wall of shelves. I LOVE these so much. I love that they look built in, I love how much storage they give me, and I really love that they were affordable. I actually destashed a few of my out of print fabrics to pay for this trip to ikea.
I’ve been piecing together storage from favorite wire baskets and a few little diy projects.
And I’m pretty happy with some of the little projects on the other side, too.
In fact, looking at that wall makes me think I should stop typing and get sewing!
If there’s something specific you have a question on, definitely feel free to ask in the comments! I’ll do my best to answer! Thank you so much for stopping by!
What sewing is that on your desk?
I meant what sewing machine is that? Thank you!
Jeannette, that’s the same machine I have so I recognized it right away! It’s a Bernina QC (quilters companion). Mine is a 450, this looks identical but not sure. 🙂
Amanda, LOVELY room!
I sew on a Bernina 440 QE 🙂
Oh my. I love your sewing space. The shelves and the fabric on them are just beautiful. And the light in the room is perfect. Your space is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Love your space! I cannot even imagine having an actual room to myself! Your shelves are amazing and yes…they do look like they are built in!
I’d love to know more about your cutting(?) table, it looks a great height and design! Beautiful room, those shelves look amazing!
Your sewing room is fabulous! I’d kill for a wall of shelves like that. It’s “sew” perfect 🙂 I’m so envious. Congrats on your lovely new space!
The text of the post is all funky in Chrome. It’s not all showing up. HELP!
The space looks wonderful! Where did you get your chair and is it comfortable to work in?
Hi-thank you for sharing the pictures of your lovely sewing room. We are just getting ready to move from a tiny rental into a nice house we purchased. Could you give me an idea of how large your room is? I’m looking at the new room that I will have to set up as my sewing room (and also plan a trip to IKEA!) and trying to get ideas for the best use and set-up of the room.
I really love what you have done with yours (and that sewing chair looks much more comfortable than my current dining room chair!) Thanks again for sharing and you did a wonderful job on your room!
Lovely room! I would love a wall of shelves one day 😉 Love your mini wall as well!
Beautiful use of space and oh so beautifully organized. Let the ideas flow!!!!
Loved seeing your workspace. Can you tell me the brand of your sewing chair? I need a new chair and your chair looks very comfy.
Hi, Laurie, It is comfy! I purchased it from ikea 🙂 It’s called the skruvsta. I hope that helps! Thank you for stopping by! Amanda
I love your chair…where is that from???
Just saw the multicolor version of your chair online…drooling! Just went on my wish list!!!
What a beautiful, fresh, happy space! When we move (hopefully sooner rather than later!) I hope to gain a bright new space too! I like the east exposure I have now (I am a morning person)…what direction does your room receive light from, mostly? Thanks for sharing…I never tire of seeing where people sew!
Your new space looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
