I've been trying to sew in a bedroom that is in use. Now I have a whole room to set up as my sewing room! I appreciate your tips!!

I just moved into a house with a 24x24 sewing space and I’m overwhelmed by how to set up my dream sewing room! Thanks for the tips!

[@hartfordstitch6571]

24x24! That’s awesome! I find it takes awhile to really figure out how to make a space work best for you. Then when you have that much space you keep wanting to fill it so there’s always rearranging to do! 😉

Wow, this information was spot on with what my brain needed to get excited to pull out my sewing machine! Little set like this are so wonderful!

[@hartfordstitch6571]

I’m so happy it helped!

If someone can afford it, I love my adjustable sit/stand desk for my sewing table. I don't like sitting too much so I can stand to do my pinning, ironing and cutting. I love it.

I made room in my bedroom to sew. These are great tips. I’m going to check to see if my arms are right height. And I’m going to move my machine to the right next time I sit down at my machine. So glad to have found you!

[@hartfordstitch6571]

Thanks for taking the time to say so! I’m glad you did too!

[@Chiefqueef91]

I need this

[@JohnHeng]

Thank you for the tips! I'm trying to get into sewing, and before I buy a machine, wanted to even know if I had the space for it or what to consider. This is helpful!

[@hartfordstitch6571]

Glad I could help!

[@nozztozz]

Great tips without even buying anything!

[@hartfordstitch6571]

I’m glad you liked them!

[@lindsayhowells1299]

I have a sewing room and craft room in my own crafting space

[@hartfordstitch6571]

It’s the best!

Where did you find that booster seat. I'm sewing on a desk and I'm too low, that booster looks perfect!

[@hartfordstitch6571]

I believe it’s from IKEA!

[@alejandrascorcia2366]

Wow, you're beautiful!
