My New Sewing and Embroidery Studio

I'm all moved and settled into my new house. It doesn't feel like home yet in fact, I feel like I'm living someone else's life. I can't really describe it. I still feel like a big part of me is missing, and it is. I should probably replace settled with adjusting. However, with my new house comes my new sewing space. It's a lot different than the room my husband built special for me at the other house. That room had space for everything. Nothing had to be stored elsewhere. If you want to take a look at it, you can see it HERE. 

This room is so much smaller so there is less storage. I'm taking advantage of an extra dresser in my bedroom to store supplies that I don't use all the time. 

This room has no Murphy bed to turn it into a guest room. Since it's just me I have a second bedroom that is used just for guests. My granddaughter has taken over that room for her overnights here along with the guest bathroom. I let her decorate these two rooms and they are coming along nicely with a Paris theme.

My previous room had my desk where I do all the other aspects of business along with home management, journaling, correspondence, etc. I decided to buy a new desk and put it in the living room, which I do love since I spend so much time at it. As you can see in the image above. One thing remains the same, Berta, my trusty assistant, is always at my feet.

One of my favorite things about this room as the set of French doors where I enter the room. I just love them. And notice the sewing themed curtains? I got them from Amazon. 

When you look to the right, you'll see my new worktables. They are height adjustable, which is nice because when standing for long periods of time, the taller height will be so much easier on my back. I also have a three-drawer storage unit in the corner.

Along the other wall is another three drawer storage unit and next to it is my fabric cabinet with my colorful storage jars atop. Do you think I have enough zippers?

There is a little nook next to the fabric cabinet. What a perfect place to use my embroidery machine! I keep it on the old desk, and on top of that is a black box that my husband made for a completely different purpose. Funny how perfect it is to raise my embroidery machine. And the fabric drawers I picked up at Wal-Mart fit perfectly for some of my scrap fabric.

Of course, my aprons are included in this room. I think I'm starting a collection. I have a few that aren't up there yet. You'll also notice that I installed some shelving units for storage and cute things. My son came and did all the big stuff such as the TV mounts, fireplace mantle, curtain rods, and numerous other things. I gotta say, I'm quite proud of my installation of the small shelves. I hope they don't fall down!

I do love this new space although it's going to take some getting used to. Change can be so difficult but at the same time it opens new doors for new experiences and opportunities. I hope you enjoyed my sewing room tour. Maybe someday I'll do a YouTube video about it. Maybe...
