Wow, I'm so excited to share my super tidy sewing room with you. There are no 'before' pictures because they were almost too shameful to post. Picture piles and piles of stuff like in that 'hoarders' TV show...but worse. You couldn't even see the floor!
We moved in two years ago and I've never really have the time to focus on it, but thankfully the photo shoot was the motivation I needed to really get things done.
It took me the best part of 3 days to get it looking this good.
I'm really proud of myself and just love spending time in there now. Everything is organised and easy to find, so I can spend more time creating and less time searching for things.
I took a few photos after the photographer left, just to capture it at it's tidiest...
Here are some of my favourite shots-
I love my collection of woven vinyl vintage hangers.I have never have my cutting table totally clear of clutter, yay!
All my vintage patterns are in one place, I may even make something for myself soon.
Thanks to Pilgrim for helping me fold and colour coordinate my fabric pieces. I think she had a little too much fun!
Gorgeous apple pincushion by Morgan Wills and my growing collection of Japanese craft books.
All my tools in one easy to find place away from little fingers!
Mum makes my bias binding for me, I don't have the patience.
A rainbow of buttons and threads.I hope you enjoyed my sewing room tour, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thanks for stopping by.

I never thought it would be possible......what an enormous job.
What I want to know is, where is the rest of the fabric? Because I'm pretty sure there was a LOT more than that when I was last over :)
beautiful light in this room, you lucky thing!
I saw that pile of bias tape and my heart skipped a little beat! I just bought this bias tape maker thing that makes it for you! Yep, its amazing! Probably not as amazing as your mum though :)
enjoy the clean- i hope it lasts
xo em
it looks great! i'm almost 2 years into my new studio and haven't gotten around to organizing -this is inspiring :)
That looks great Cintia,love the hooky board!
just to be able to view all the fabric at a glance would be a dream.
I love a tidy workspace - my workshop was almost photographable the other say....then I started a big ebay sort out and it's back to (very) messy!
It's definitely good for your karma

(liking the scissor hanging thingy - may try that)
Gorgeous room. fantastic light. I love the hookey board. It's so much kinder to the scissors than throwing them in the top drawer. I am going to keep my eye peeled for one!
Oh my goodness! I am SO jealous! My apartment is so tiny I sew on my round dining table and my machine lives permanently on my bedroom floor. Sigh...
PS. I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog at the moment with lots of vintage notions that I think would fit just perfectly in that room.
