Welcome to my studio
It's where I work and create!
***
for letting me join in on all the fun!
Many projects
have been made at this table
I find that having things where I can get at them
is very important
so my studio is cluttered
but most everything I need is close at hand!
my ugly but functional desk...
my old
commercial Pfaff sewing machine
I
made these
barkcloth pockets
to hold a bit of everything
mainly cards from my blogging friends
a few paper projects
One of my vintage cupboards
it's holds/hides
just some of my fabric
My "friends" banner made
by a blogging friend
My sink and cupboards...
come in very handy
my favorite little sewing machine.. works great!
a bit of fabric
just a few jars of my button collection
*****
Thanks for stopping by!
What a fabulous space to create in. I love how you have everything close by and easy to see

Love the window curtains. GORGEOUS FABRIC!!! Your whole room is so comfortable. Nicely done.
Mary, is that a Singer Featherweight? I have one, my father bought it for my mother when she was expecting me. She used it to sew her maternity clothes and my baby clothes. She passed it on to me (after she used it for 50 years).
ReplyDeleteI could just camp out in your studio...love it!

I am in the "Love your craftroom" crowd. I would add one thing though, a lock to keep certain people out while I work. Love the 2 sewing machines. Been looking for ones like those forever!

ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs, Me:)
Fabulous fabrics and lovely pockets created with them. Such a magical space!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great workspace you have. It seems so cheerie!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour studio is lovely! I collect vintage fabrics and I see that barkcloth and I see that old chenille. :0) I love the barkcloth pocket organizer..that's really sweet. Which Singer is that? Does it have the "coffin" cover or a square cover? I've got a Singer Featherweight 221 that I adore along with my Babylock electronic one...one that sews can never have too much fabric or too many machines, right!?
Please drop by to see my "studio in progress". I've just recently moved into my home and I'm almost 3 months into remodeling! I'm getting there though. :0)
Hope to see you!
Stephanie

A SINK? You have a sink?? What a luxury to have a wash-up area right in the studio!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my mom has a collection of those budoir chairs (like the one at your "ugly" ((not)) desk. She's always picking them up and recovering them. Yours is in amazing condition. And of course I love all your roses!
