MY STUDIO AND I

I wanted to do a blog post on my studio for Aaaaages, but never got around to it timewise.
So here it finally is!

The picture above is a rack my boyfriend made for me for my serger thread spools.
Im so happy with it, so i dont have to have them in a nasty little basket anymore all over the place. Very nicely made, hes very talented.

Some fabrics..

This is the wall behind my sewing table, i added a fake window to it, to brighten it up!
As u can see its full of scrap paper sticked onto it about sizing, shipping prices, new designs, fabric shops, to do lists and little tags people send me.

These are the little piles i work with, i cut the fabric and pin it all together and then put it in little piles on my table, so i can sew them up in one go, they get fluffy sometimes from cutting so i have to brush them with a clothes brush when they are finished.

And this is me working! My boyfriend took this picture aswell as all the other pictures of me in my shop!

Next time i may show u a whole pic of the room, once i pimped it up a bit.
And ill also show u our cutting room, which im very proud and happy to have now!! Yay, it has a ginormous table!:)

Check out my friend Penny working, seeing her blog post yesterday finally gave me the kick up the arse i needed to do mine!
Thanks for looking and id like to see ur studio/workspace, so post ur links in the comments if u want!

  9. Looks great. Nice to have a dedicated - and very tidy - space. Always nice to see someone's face after so long 'seeing' them online. Had another look in your Etsy shop - have favorited the semi-wrap and will check it out again when I have more time. Great stuff.
