Sewing Room Tours.

This tour has been in the works for what feels ages and I think you'll agree that it was worth the wait. Today we bring you a walk through Our very own Sue's Sewing room. Let me begin by saying that I (Jessie) love my sewing room. Having a dedicated space for crafting is wonderful, but what I have doesn't compare to Sue's glorious space. Her sewing room is on the second floor in a spacious room with big windows, tons of natural light, a walk in closet AND, Sue's Sewing Room has it's own bathroom!! Okay that's it for now I'll let the rest of the pictures do the talking.

Old Sewing notions abound.

Dress form, embroidery machine and ideas board.

Old cupboard filled to the brim with fabrics!

Scissors Block available in Store.

A work space that looks out onto spacious orchards.

I think you'll agree that her space is truly inspiring. We're hoping to see more fun sewing places in the future.

To all of you that came out on Small Business Saturday, Thank you! Also don't forget about our husbands stocking stuffer open house Dec 11 (any one can come not just husbands of course) our smalls will be on sale to better stuff your stocking AND we'll be doing another giveaway. Finally if your looking for a quick Christmas project don't forget about our free downloadable stocking pattern, click here.

I hope your enjoying this holiday season!
Happy Sewing
Love, Jessie and Sue!

Welcome to My Sewing Room,

These shelves are something I'd like to improve on.

Please come in and make yourself comfortable. This post will be short on words and big on gorgeous photos of my favorite room in my house! Yes, I'm lucky enough to have an entire room for my sewing something I am very grateful for. And while there are things about it I'd like to improve (there are no pictures of the closet!! And I'd love french doors to an outdoor patio.) I am amazed at how much more creative I am and how much more I'm able to get done with a dedicated space.

Here it is I'll let the pictures do the talking. And a HUGE thank you to Bethany Clay for taking these photos for me. She has such a great eye and these pictures are so beautiful.

One thing I really wanted in my sewing room was a bed for
my best sewing companion, though he prefers to lay on scraps of fabric.

The pincushion was made out of a tin can by my great grandmother
and those scissors belonged to my other great grandma.

Halloween Costume in progress

Oh Janome what would I do without you?

I love old suitcases and they serve as a great place to store my
vintage patterns.

This peg rack was made by my papa.
I always know where my scissors are...
usually...

I hope you enjoyed our first "Sewing Space Tour" and I hope you'll come again.

Happy Sewing

Love, Jessie

Just Checking in.

You would not believe how clean my sewing room is! I don't even want to sew it's so clean and organized. Under all those scraps of fabric and bits of thread was a real beauty. One of my dear friends came and took pictures on her fancy camera of my sewing room for a new segment we're going to start here on the blog called "Sewing Spaces" where we'll take a virtual tour of a room or corner of a room that has been set aside for creative pursuits. Look for that soon. To go along with our "Sewing Spaces" segment we've started a Sewing Spaces Board on Pinterest. Click Here to check out lots of beautiful spaces and ideas for decorating and organization your own sewing places. While we're on the subject of connecting with us I wanted to point out that If you look to the left of this post you'll see a column titled "Connect with us here" click any of those links to find our website, Facebook, or Pinterest account where we're always pinning inspiring creative ideas.

Don't forget to leave a comment on the last blog post to be entered to win the Owl sewing pattern from Sewn into the Fabric. Click Here to read that post.

New classes starting in the shop. It's the perfect time of year to commit to a new project and hang out with awesome sewing ladies.

Lastly, I wanted to introduce you to our Sewing Song List. I don't know about you but I have to have some sort of music going in the background whilst I sew. I thought it'd be fun to share what we listen to while we create. I'll try and post a new song list each week for you to enjoy as well. This week I'm needing something classic but upbeat to give me the energy I need to do a lot of work fast and well. Sort of a swing feel to keep me planning that cute 1940's inspired pencil skirt I want to sew. And a bit of an homage to my dear sisters who I'm missing immensely right now. I hope you enjoy.
Happy Sewing
Love Jessie.
