I've been contemplating whether or not to even blog any more - time constraints, interest waning, etc. etc. etc.
I do love seeing others wonderful projects and sharing a bit of my life with others also, so here goes a multiple post update.
About 3 months ago, I did some deep cleaning of my sewing/creating areas. Firstly, for my "Inspiration Space", I unpiled my desk, rearranged magazines and books and made new curtains.
Secondly, I finally completely took over our son's bedroom for my sewing room. I had been sewing there for a couple of years but hadn't taken down his twin beds or anything from the walls. But I did it and I LOVE it!
As you enter:
Counter Clockwise Around the room: The Ironing Station:
Storage:
Great Grandmother's Pillow Cover framed by my DIL for a birthday present.
Grandmother's Garden quilt that I bought at a flea market, a small quilt from vintage blocks, one of my doll quilts (the Peter Rabbit) and mug rug from a friend..
Nene's Quilts:
Silvia - her primary use is FMQ though I do use her to mend jeans and attach bindings. She sits under the window so I can look out at the sky and occasionally ponder. She is a 1970's model and was made in Italy.
Another Vintage Necchi - a 1960's model named Nora. She belonged to Mike's mom and is a dream for stitching long straight stitches. I like to assemble flimsys with her.
Black Beauty's corner:

An old cigar box from my grandmother's things:
She kept buttons in it!
Hope you enjoyed the tour of my new sewing room! I'll be posting some of projects in a day or two!
Blessings to each of you!
How fun to get a tour of your beautiful space! Can't wait to see the projects :)
ReplyDeleteLove your new space! It looks cozy and inviting. Lots of eye candy and personal touches. :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to have your own sewing space now, Doniene. I got my sewing room the same way. When the boys had moved out I put a design wall on one wall of their bedroom, but the rest of my sewing stuff was stashed in various places. Gradually I began to move it into the "design wall room" until it finally clicked that it was my sewing room, and I moved the rest of the "bedroom stuff" out.
ReplyDeleteLove what you have done with the space. It looks very inviting!
What a great (and happy) sewing space! I love all the wood. I didn't realize you were a vintage SM lover! Nora & Silvia are wonderful and Black Beauty is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour new sewing room looks beautiful and functional! I, too, have been dealing with motivation with blogging. I lurked well over a month. I expect to be more active during cold weather. Good to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for vintage sewing machines. Wish I had room and money for all I would like to own.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great sewing space. Nice collection of machines too. What a special to enjoy. Thank you very much for the tour. I hope you keep blogging, stay in touch!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the tour. Thanks for sharing with us. Can't wait to see what projects you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how others organize their sewing space! Thank you for sharing yours.
ReplyDeleteI love your new sewing room! Such a treat to see all your wonderful vintage sewing machines. Love the cigar box filled with buttons, a lovely memory keep of your grandmother. I hope you choose to keep blogging, I've missed your inspiring posts!
ReplyDeleteDear Doniene, your room looks great and I see it will be the perfect place for your creativity to bloom. I love seeing all your treasures from the past and remember well those lovely little nooks and crannies in the walls where your books are stored! I agree about blogging, so many fabulous friends and experiences, I think I would miss it too ♥
ReplyDeleteIts so hard to find the time to blog, isn't it? But I'm glad to see you pop up in my reader! Think of you often - haven't been that way in far too long. Your room is absolutely lovely - such a special space to create your masterpieces!
