It looks amazing Natalia!! Just a random idea I thought of when you were talking about not knowing if you want to keep your upstairs room a studio as well - you could make your upstairs room your “atelier” (customs, fittings, and new design work) and then your garage is your like “factory/workshop” where you do your mass productions!
Thank you! And yes! That’s kind of the vibe I’m getting from it too!
You should make upstairs your office, so that's where you like work on posts, your website, brainstorm ideas, film, edit, book work etc.
I already have an office upstairs for that :) I’m probably just going to keep it as is!
You'll definitely use all that space and more as you keep growing! It's exciting that you are expanding your business! Congratulations!! My husband built a similar table and he put a shelf in the middle so I could store rolls of fabric, the best thing in my studio. I put fabric around the table to hide all the stuff.... Enjoy your new space!!!
Love that! Thank you!!!
I would suggest an inverter air conditioner / heating system. The initial amount might be more than you would want to invest but the electrical bill for my house went down between $200 to $300 per month, depending on the temperatures. It is the best upgrade we have done to date.
It’s a time saver to have a few machines. No more waiting to change threads to finish a project.
I am in loooooove with you channel and I'm sooo inspired by how you and you're business keep growing right before our eyes. Love all the way from South Africa!!! Blessings upon blessings Nat❤ X.O
Right? She's amazingly inspiring us from so far away 🇿🇦
You are such an organized person and you are using your space so wisely and investing perfectly. Your growth is consistent and phenomenal. Whenever you say your dad made your cutting table I feel so much connected with you as my dad made my cutting table too. Waiting to see you work full on this studio. Best wishes with the new studio space. You will do great anyways but still pray for your growth in future. Love you Natalie ❤️
The new studio is so beautiful, can’t wait to see you add more stuff to it! Happy sewing
Yes, vintage machines are definitely built to last! Last year I bought my first machine and it was a new Brother machine that I paid a couple hundred for and I love it but the tension is messed up now and I have to take in to have it repaired...but my subsequent machine purchase was $35 for a vintage machine from the 1950s( a Japanese class 15 clone in a beautiful blue/teal color) and it stitches beautifully!!! Then about 2months ago we moved into a new apartment and the previous tenant had been evicted & arrested the same day. The previous tenants mother got what she could but the daughter was a hoarder so most things were left. In the upstairs hallway was a sewing table with a Penncrest model 1000 in it and then in 1 of the bedroom closets I found at 1910 Singer Sphinx in a case and they still work!!!! Those 2 treasures made cleaning up the massive mess all worth it!
those are some good finds! I totally agree, i've had 3 modern 200-300$ machines, by brother or janome, and they all eventually crapped out on me and the repair techs all told me that it wasn't worth it to fix plus would need to be sent back to the manufacturer because of motherboard problems. I since bought a 1958 singer 401a that is an absolute beast. After that I bought a 5$ American Home straight stitch in a desk that needs some cleaning but is also a beast! Never going back to modern "home" machines. The all metal insides of vintage home machines or modern industrials, make all the difference.
You may find that the vintage machines are significantly slower than modern ones and replacement parts are tough to come by - you can buy sewing tables that have an empty space for the machine of your choice to drop in. May be something to consider with your growing business! Congrats on needing the additional space! So fun to see your progress!
❤️lots of lov from india ... u r my inspiration 🎉
From india too
Beautiful sewing machines
That cutting table is great. You can put a piece of wood were the cross braces are on the legs makes for a lot of extra fabric storage. Do you use a pressing table? You can make one like the cutting table. Use hot water washed old military 100% wool blankets, wrap them very tight around the wood staple. Use two blankets. Then use a hot water washed 100% cotton painting drop cloth over the wool and staple it. It works amazing..
I agree, older machines were built to last. My current butterfly machine was passed down to me from my grand ma to my mom then to me and I haven’t had any issues with it. Suffice to say that machine is over 27 years and still going good 😌
Yes!!!
Im ngl just because you live alone you should use the “now” studio to store clothes and orders and stuff basically a closet and then you have the future studio
So my brother is a really fast runner in Australia and he got a scholarship for a school in an other state than where we live so he doesn’t use his room in our house except for when he come every second holiday so I’m thinking of turning his room in a sewing room, aaaah I love this channel ❤️💜
❤️❤️❤️
I am excited for you in using the industrial vintage sewing machines!! I have two myself and use them almost every day!!! They will last a long time for you!!
Great set up of your studio! The vintage industrial machines are a win-win! Painting the tables black are tre’s chic 🙂.
that is SOO cool you've transformed your garage into a sewing studio!
Could you pls show how you thread the needle on the 2 singer machines? Super inspiring videooooo
Excellent episode. Now it's starting - Natalia enterprise. Light is super important. Natural light is the best, but invest good LED lights is a must.
Congratulations 👏 hope you keep growing and hope to see all the process of your new studio. You have such a wonderful family 👪.
So nice and inspired me i wish i had sewing machine like you im from philippines
Your garage studio looks amazing Keep a studio in the house as well. Winter in the garage will cold even with the space heater. I had my upholstery studio in the garage it was quite cold. My garage was in a 50's house and was not insulated or sheet rocked so that makes a big difference to yours.
you should see if you can install a window into your garage! It's super important for me to get sunlight vs being in the dark when i work! good luck!!!
I love the new studio! I love those 3 sewing machines!!😍😍
OMG that is such a good idea!! Love ur new studio!!
Queen I did the same and it was the best thing!
Love your new space! looks great. So jealous. I have the same singer sewing machine. It sews better than my industrial sewing machine. Have fun Love from Australia :)
yess! I was looking for ths video when you mentioned it in your fashion show week! I'm so glad that you're enjoying your new space :)) love from London
Wow Amazing😍
This was very inspirational. I have a sewing house...no room is exempt from having sewing supplies tucked in here and there (except my kitchen and bathrooms). I also have a garage about the same size as yours that I would like to convert. My only issue is my garage is detached and I live in the desert, so I would have to do some extra work to make it useable. Walls are finished, just like yours...but ceiling would need to be closed in. I also live alone and probably won't do anything until I need to hire someone.
Love the black and white theme
Use upstairs for your film or content creation for your business and use the garage as your official sewing studio
How exciting! It came out great 🙂
Thank you!!
Enjoyed watching this video. I'm also hoping one day I get my own studio/shop.
this looks amazing !! For the empty space try having a white backdrop for shooting pics for ur website 🔥. Also would you please talk more about all we need to know about sewing machines , I want to buy one but i’m still confused.
Congratulations Natalie! Love to see you growing your business ♥️ Where did you get your cutting mat for your table from?

The garage looks so beautiful, I think you should still keep the studio upstairs too.
Can’t wait to see you grow. ❤️
It looks beautiful! I can't wait to see the upcoming videos when you're already working there! I'll ask my dad to make a similar table for me, btw where did you buy the cutting mat?

love from Turkey
love this! such a good idea 💗
Love it !
Thank you!!
can you ask your dad where he got the cutting table legs from? 🥺 i’m looking to build one for my studio :)) thanks!
Hi! I am interested in where your dad got the legs for your cutting table?
❤❤❤❤
Those vintage machines are expensive! I bought my vintage Singer 28K in incredible shape from 1910 for €30, and the “newer” electric models go for €50. I guess there’s a difference in supply here and there.
Just you mentioned you bought a new Industrial sewing machine so may i ask what is the smart move buying a sewing machine is either portable or go for Industrial? Im just confuse what is gonna be practical move
If anyone has questions on buying a sewing machine that Natalia doesn't have time for or hasn't made a video about, feel free to ask me! I don't know everything but I've been sewing as long as I can remember and I've been a sewing machine salesperson for a while so I know a lot about what's out there, what it does, and how much it costs.
Hi! I’m looking to buy a good long lasting sewing machine. I’ve only recently started to sew but my mom has been sewing for years so Im looking for something that will be easy for both of us. We’ve never used the digital type and our old one didn’t have a lot of different options/tools so some of the newer models look kind of daunting with all the different options/switches on them. Any advice?
If you have any problems or questions on your machines I would gladly help. I have restored many of them.
lol you look like your wiggling all over the place when you move in timelapse! :P haha you wiggle your legs a lot! XD lol
this is really cool! :D you should definitely do more timelapses of yourself! :)
Lots of love from India... ❤❤❤❤
Do you still work in this space? How is it for you in the colder months ?
💚:)
but how do you put your car in your room??? isnt the door to small?
Where did you get a cutting mat that size?

How about wintet season 🤔
In india this machine in just 5 000 rupees new machine with Table and 2 hand machine in just 3000 (35.99$)rupees
Just wondered why you would not get a real professional sewing machine that sits in the oil like a Juki. Stitching is about 5000 stitches per minute
Because they’re over $1000 and not in my budget :)
