My New Sewing Studio!!

It has been so fun the last few days moving into this new studio!!  And oh the sunshine, it is just so happy making.  I could stay in here all day, and lets be honest, that is probably what I will be doing most days ;)  So here is a little view of the new Sewing Studio.  I promise, I am going to figure out a video at some point, but for now, this gives you a pretty good idea of the space.

So first off, some basics.  Thee room is 24 feet by 11 feet now.  We took down a wall between two existing bedrooms so I have a lovely large space ;)  All of the cabinetry work is custom and done by R and R Cabinets and they did an absolutely amazing job!!  And Precision Development was over the entire remodel (we also redid our bathrooms and added a laundry room :) and they were amazing to work with!  

So, on the North wall is my Sewing space.  I have a spots for two sewing machines (just in case I have guests) and I use the sewing space next to the window.  After sewing in the basement for 15 years with no windows, I can not even begin to express how much I love having the sunshine.  The other sewing space is doubling as a trimming and pressing station when I am on my own.  Then all of my WIP are on the countertop ready to be sewn.   And the glass cabinets are filled with all of my pre-cuts.  So so fun to be able to see them all stacked up so pretty.  Now I just need a few more hours in every day to get to sew with them all ;)  

Then on the the East wall are my two lovely windows with amazing sunlight.  In front of one window is a new rocker (because ya know, Grandma to be in August!!)  And in front of the other window is a small loveseat, cause it's always nice to have a space for company.  And in the middle, my amazing new cutting/scrap storage table.  This was designed custom for my height so it is going to be so nice on my back.  I have my scrab bowl, binding bin, alphabitties, and my favorite rulers and cutting tools all right on my table nice and neat.  So handy!!  And then there are the scraps.  They are sorted by color, print, solids, and basics. And there is even room in the bins for more scraps, how awesome is that.  I found the William Morris artwork on Amazon and knew they would be the perfect edition to this space ;)  They just make me smile every time I come in the room.  

On the West Wall attached to my sewing table is my main storage space.  Half book shelf and half cupboard space.  In the top section is quilts, yardage pieces sorted by color, patterns, books, and the bottom shelf is more Works In Progress that don't have deadlines so they sit a little longer.  In the top drawers are rulers, applique, and paper piecing.  In the cupboards below are long term WIP (yes, I have way to many WIP) yardage on bolts, and all my accuquilt dies.  So nice to have so much storage!! 

And then farther down on the West wall, past the door, is my pattern/shipping station.  All of my patterns are organized nice and neat, and everything I need to ship is in the little coffee table.  I have never had this all in one place before and I am so excited to be able to do all of my pattern packing and shipping all in one place.  And on the South Wall, you can just see the corner of the computer desk.  Cause every good working space needs a computer desk, and then I can print the shipping labels right in this space as well and work on my patterns surrounded by so much quilty inspiration!

So that is my new sewing room.  What questions do you have??  I will make a list and then try to address them all in the video that will be made at some point.  

I am just so very blessed to be able to have such a wonderful space.  A huge shout out to my sweetheart for making this possible for me.  I sure love him!!

And now, I am off to do some sewing in the sunshine!!

Happy Quilting :)
