5 Things i love about my sewing room

I am super excited to have my very own sewing room.  In the past I was fortunate to have a sewing cabinet in one room, a table to cut out fabric in another and my ironing board in still another room.  Now I have them all together, in one room!!

Here are five things I love about my sewing room.

1. Everything is old, recycled or second hand

Everything that is in the sewing room I have either bought second hand, upcycled, recycled or have had for a very long time. 

I have had my sewing machine for over 25 years.  It is a basic Brother machine.  No fancy computer options. As long as it does straight stitch, zigzag and button holes, I am happy.

​The table we have had for 30 years. The sewing cabinet was bought second hand about ten years ago.  Even the mirror on the wall was a found treasure. 

2. Sewing table

I love how the table is away from the wall so I can walk all the way around it when I am trying to cut out a pattern and material for a project.

3. boxes with labels

I love how I have everything sorted in boxes which I have sourced from different places.  Photocopy boxes from school are a great size box to use. But I especially love that I have put labels on them so I know what is in each box!

4. Drawer for Cotton

I love this drawer in the sewing table which orginally would have been a cutlery drawer but it is just perfect for cotton reels.  In the past my reels were all piled together in a container.  I had no idea what was at the bottom and every time I tried to have a look they would start to unravel.  There would be a birds nest of loose threads!  Can anyone relate? That is why I am super excited about being able to see my threads and get to them easily. 

5. full length Mirror

I love having a full length mirror in the sewing room.  Makes it so easy to check what things look like as I am sewing.
