Sewing Room Tour

After a year and a half in our new house, I guess it is finally time to take you on a tour of my sewing room. Our home is fairly big, so each one of us can have their own studio space. That was truly a dream come true!

Only recently, my husband and a talented carpenter friend finished building all the tables for my room. He made me:

• a built-in table for the serger,
• a desk for my PC,
• a nesting table for my sewing machine,
• and my all-time favorite: a cutting table.

I also inherited an old but beautifully preserved serger from a dear friend. After a full service and a replacement motor (a second-hand Pfaff motor!), it works perfectly again.

Each table was built specifically for my height, which is why the sewing table is taller than the serger table. Little ergonomic details really make a difference when you spend hours sewing.

I rotate the quilts hanging in the room so they do not lose their shape or wrinkle. They are displayed using an DIGNITET curtain wire from IKEA, which is actually a really easy and practical way to hang quilts.

Above my serger I installed a GRUNDTAL towel shelf for unfinished projects and folded quilts. It is surprisingly useful to keep UFOs visible at all times — frustrating maybe, but effective! It definitely helped me reduce my unfinished projects over the years.

Then there is my large PC desk, which I absolutely adore, along with a built-in shelving unit that came with the house. I still need to redecorate and organize it a little better though.

To safely store my fabric stash, I purchased a BILLY glass-door bookcase. Honestly, I probably need one more — or maybe an additional cabinet — to store finished products from my shop .

Here is my beloved 90 cm tall cutting table on wheels, which also doubles as my video shooting table . I specifically wanted wheels so I could move it easily around the room and rearrange the space whenever needed.

On one side I installed a BYGEL rail to hang rulers, acrylic templates, and tools. Next to the table I keep large plastic bins filled with scraps and batting pieces.

I am also thinking of buying the RÅSKOG cart to place between the sewing machine and the serger. It would be perfect for storing spools, scissors, clips, and all the notions I use daily without constantly getting up from my chair.

Behind the sewing room door I also have a couple of narrow bookcases, but they are far too untidy to show right now. That is where most of my books, extra fabric, and notions are hiding.

And finally, this is my temporary design wall, soon to be mounted properly, featuring my Farmer’s Wife blocks in progress.

I still need to hang a couple more quilts before the room feels truly complete, but honestly… I already love it exactly as it is.
