I think my husband asks every day “Why do we have so many cats???” 😆 The funny part is that they all like him best. He can’t sit down without at least 3 of them crawling all over him.
Very nice tour! I was watching someone the other day, and she said, "Don't be upset if you can't have a craft room like they display on UA-cam." The reason is that is set up a lot of times to look good. That was very encouraging to me. I have slanted ceilings, which is a problematic issue in my room. You have given me, so many ideas for a different way to look at storage. I'm trying to get my things, my sister's things and 2 of my friends things together so I will have some idea where anything is. It's very overwhelming to me. But I will get there, and you have some great ideas; I didn't think of. Thank you for doing your craft room tour, it's much more realistic than some of the others I have watched.
Thank you for keeping it real! I have 3 cats and a dog and the cats seem attracted to my quilts. My work room is a work in progress and changes as my needs develop. I've claimed my older son's bedroom and feel so fortunate, as years ago I was set up in a hall closet. I love your room!
I have my fabric stacked (without bins) in one of those cube organizers and one of my cats has the fun new hobby of clawing all the fabric out of the cube so he can sit in it....time to get bins I guess haha
I love your organization! We also have the same interests and we also have the same sewing machine! My room isn’t as organized! I have a separate scrapbook/card making room downstairs since my kids are grown.
Thank you for sharing your space. I agree the photo holder is great and I also would never pay full price. I currently have 6 and am waiting on another sale!
Thank you for sharing your perfectly imperfect space, you've inspired me to reorganize my home office/craft and sewing space. I've been feeling overwhelmed with it all!
Your video is So helpful! I can’t believe I came across you because I got a nice swivel desk chair almost exactly like yours 2 days ago! Like yours nothin wrong with it but the “leather” was fallin off! I love your Cover! What a great idea! & just in time for me! I do a lot of different crafts too & yours is organized so nice. Who Cares if the boxes don’t match your right they Are pretty! Also your a Cat lover! (You see I Knew I liked you) lol Anyway Thanks for all the good tips! Happy Creating! ✌️
Thank you for showing us your craft room. I have a craft room that needs to be decluttered and re organized. The photo box from michaels I have them and have stickers and embellishments for cards. I craft sewing, card making and grandkids summer craft week. This summer is paint pouring. It should create fun and laughter! Have a great day.
Thx for sharing. I live in an 18 ft trailer which can get pretty messy fast. I am in the process of making some needed changes & your room tour ideas are helpful. Thanks. Happy sewing & crafting. And Happy New Year.
I have one side of my craft room as a sewing room and the other side is for just sewing. I need to get some peg board but want to paint them and put a frame around them since my room is open to the family room. 😊
I know exactly what you mean! My 2 cats like to spend time with me in my craft room, so I keep a couple of empty baskets in there which they like to hide in!
I love that you’re practically! It’s nice to have everything thing just so, but let’s be real, life just isn’t like that for most of us. I really enjoyed your video and got some great ideas! Thank s for sharing ❤
I love your setup. I dont see alot of "craft room " show and tell that deals with sewing as a main. Wonder if ikea would deliver as im 5hrs away lol Thanks you gave me some great ideas 😂
Great video. I love your room. I love that you’re a thrifty not pay full price. Do you sell your aprons? Your kids-Turn their room into a craft room and then they can’t come back. 😂
I’ve led a couple of cupcake decorating classes over the past few years and I offer the custom aprons as an optional purchase. It’s super sweet to see all the kids in the classes on their little aprons
After watching 4 -6 craft room organizing videos, I realized we aren’t actually organizing our craft rooms. We are setting up retail shops! I do sewing, quilting and paper crafting plus a little needlepoint, etc. So I’ve got TONS of supplies for all that. I am in the paring down/simplify stage to give my mind and my time a break. Having so much stuff means much of my ‘creating’ time is spent organizing. That’s not what I want to be doing. It adds stress rather than relieves it.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I was wondering what type of hooks you bought to hang your thread organiser. I have an IKEA pegboard and love the idea of hanging my thread rack to free up tabletop space. 🌹❤️
I have the Olfa set of 3 cutting mats. If you put all of them together they are 35"x70". I usually just put two out on the table at a time, so roughly 35"x46"
Hi! I just found this video and LOVE your heart for crafting! I am similar in that I love quilting and some other sewing, card making, papercrafting, and whatever else catches my interest (like a teeny bit of jewelry making). I have a question for you; do you actually iron on the top of the Ikea shelf or do you have an ironing board hiding there somewhere? Thank you. 😊
I have a wool pressing mat that I set on there to iron on. I received it as a gift a few years ago but I know they are still available from many places (Amazon, Fat Quarter Shop, etc). It protects the shelf but also allows heat to transfer to both sides of the fabric I'm ironing.
This one is a Taotronics LED desk lamp. I found it on Amazon a few years ago. The exact model I have isn't available but they have lots of similar options. It's been a lifesaver when I'm hand sewing and need more light to see the tiny stitches.
I’m making a new craft sewing room from my daughter’s room when she moved. I’m so stressed. I don’t like how it’s coming out. The table I bought for sewing and doing projects is too small. I have too many supplies because what I can’t see I go buy and then I have two of everything. We painted it icy blue and I don’t like it because it’s a cold color to me. I’m just not enjoying anything to do with the room so far 😢
My room went through a lot of moves (I used to have to keep it all in totes and craft at the dining room table) and updates over time. Don’t worry about making it your dream space all at once. I started organizing with just clear dollar bin containers before gradually adding organizers I liked better (and it helped me stay on budget!). I loved the ikea tabletops but had to put two together to get the size I wanted. Highly recommend them if you have an IKEA in your area
Wonder if the Ikea tables are sturdy enough to hold a heavy sewing/embroidery machine so the table will not vibrate or wobble? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!
I haven't had any issues with the Ikea tables (I have two each with four legs on them). I had purchased two extra table legs in case I found more to be needed but haven't had to use them in the last 5 years or so I've had this set up. I do my sewing and embroidery on there. I recently purchased a larger heat press which was quite heavy and it has supported that well too.
Oh no, move your bedroom to the empty bedroom and use the entire master bedroom for your sewing room. You'll finally have enough room for cutting tables and design wall.
That’s a tough one for a chronic crafter! Since fabric collections tend to be available for limited time, I love to grab fat quarter bundles that I like and then pull from my stash as I find patterns to use them for
So glad to run into someone w cats ❤❤❤❤❤
I think my husband asks every day “Why do we have so many cats???” 😆 The funny part is that they all like him best. He can’t sit down without at least 3 of them crawling all over him.
My husband is allergic to cat hair. It's an unending battle to keep our two cats away from him. But they love him so much.

It’s nice to find a tour for multi crafting. It looks so organized-that would help my ADD brain. Thank you.
I think your sewing room is pretty perfect. I wish mine looked that good.I got some great ideas. Thanks
Thank you for keeping it real! I have 3 cats and a dog and the cats seem attracted to my quilts. My work room is a work in progress and changes as my needs develop. I've claimed my older son's bedroom and feel so fortunate, as years ago I was set up in a hall closet. I love your room!
Thank you so much! My cats sure seem to know exactly which things I DON'T want them sitting on...and then proceed to sit exactly there.
I love this!! We share common hobbies & interests. Thanks for opening your space to us!
Nice craft area. I never would have guessed that it was in a bedroom.
I have my fabric stacked (without bins) in one of those cube organizers and one of my cats has the fun new hobby of clawing all the fabric out of the cube so he can sit in it....time to get bins I guess haha
I love your organization! We also have the same interests and we also have the same sewing machine! My room isn’t as organized! I have a separate scrapbook/card making room downstairs since my kids are grown.
I love it, a working craft room! It's all so "real." Thanks for the tour.
And P.S. LOVE your sewing/embroidery machine! What model is it?
It’s a Brother SE400. I’ve had it for many years but they have several updated models. No issues with it in all the time I’ve had it!
I love decorative boxes to. Great idea putting tags/labels on them.
Thank you for sharing your space. I agree the photo holder is great and I also would never pay full price. I currently have 6 and am waiting on another sale!
Really great small space. Good inspiration for me!
You are so organized!
Very pretty crafting space, I love your organization. Thanks for sharing ❤
Love your sewing space, I’d go there and forget to go back home 😊

I really like those clear bins with lids on your pegboard! Great space!
very nice set up. I need to sort and organize my fabrics, sewing accessoris all that is sewing related as well as yarn.
What a wonderful space!
Thank you!

Just what I needed. Thanks for sharing this info.
Love the room I have a small room compared to others but I’m happy I have a room!!!
My sewing and craft rooms and a mix of all different things. It may be wonderful to have everything match but I use what I have.
Is a beautifully organized room!
Thank you!
Great craft room. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks! It has definitely helped when I am working on multiple types of projects
Beautiful and fun room!! ❤️
Thank you! 🤗
I like the sticker organizer..
Lovely. Where did you get the little green mat for your iron?
I’m pretty sure it was an Amazon purchase. I’ve had it for several years now. It’s heatproof, similar to the ones for curling irons.

I used the J-shaped hooks from IKEA. They hold the rack perfectly.
@@mypracticallyimperfectlife thank you.
I really like your craft room. Do you happen to know the grey wall color? It's a nice neutral - not too light and not too dark!
Behr Natural Gray
Hi, thanks for showing us around ❤ Could you please tell me what you use for connecting the cutting mats together? I don't think I saw it in the info
They came with little metal clamps that keep them together
New subscriber here. You have a lovely sewing room. May I ask where you got your round stand for your scissors? It looks very useful. Thank you.
It actually came as a set with the spinner and all the scissors. I’m struggling to remember where I got it from though. I’ve had it for years.
omg ..i can only dream❤
Hey there! Lovely room. Can I ask what size your cutting mat is on the table? Thanks.

When will I get a craft room????
Ît comes eventually. Someday... Right?!
I did not see your light listed. What brand is it? I have poor vision and that light may work for me. TFS. Your craft room is amazing!

@@mypracticallyimperfectlife Thank you for letting me know
I love the it
I know you mentioned this was off your MB.. but do you know the dimensions ? I’m curious how big a space it is. Love the layout.
Roughly 8’x8’.
Nice!! What are the dimensions of your room?
That space was about 8x8
Curious how big the room is.
The craft space is about 10’x10’.

I have items delivered to my front door that I buy from IKEA. Cost less than gasoline to travel to IKEA.
Wonder if the Ikea tables are sturdy enough to hold a heavy sewing/embroidery machine so the table will not vibrate or wobble? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

how do you hold theyour quilt rulers
I had the pegboards from IKEA and at the time I had purchased several of the J shaped hooks that go with it. I just hang them on there
So well organized. ❤ Would you come and do my room for me?😊❤❤
Oh no, move your bedroom to the empty bedroom and use the entire master bedroom for your sewing room. You'll finally have enough room for cutting tables and design wall.
😆 I’ll get to work trying to convince my husband to go for that idea
organized. Just too much stuff. Challenge yourself not to buy for a year.
