Sewing Space...

This week I've been re-organizing my sewing room. It had gotten in such a mess. I would pull fabric for this project and that...not put it back...and soon it was in a mess. 

My sewing room...since I've had one only a short time..has become a place where I can go and think, plan and create. A place to go and just...reboot.

When I fixed up my little sewing studio from a spare bedroom, I first decided where best to place my sewing station.

Then organized my fabrics, thread, patterns, etc around that.

But above all else, I wanted my space to be warm and inviting. To encourage relaxation and creativity.

I have an easy chair where I can sit and write, read or just work on some hand work, or for company  to sit and visit.

I made curtains to make my room look loved.

Signs of encouragement.

And entertainment when I need a little break!

My sewing studio..or my fabric pantry (as my husband calls it) has become so inviting that it is one of the first places my grandkids run to when they come to visit. It's where they want to play...and where they want to sleep at night.

When I'm in there sewing my husband likes to sit with me and read. And when I'm not home, he still will go and sit in there. He said it makes him feel closer to me. 

My sewing room is cozy, warm and inviting. It not only is a place for me to be creative, but also a space for my family to find peace.

My family says that "this is mom's sewing room"...
but they all know that they are welcome.

Is your sewing space shared with the whole family...or is it still your space?
