I found the photo today of the time I recorded a super low temperature in my sewing room. It was 54 degrees, not 57 degrees as I said in the video. BRRRR! But today, I'm happy to report that hanging fabric on the walls DID make it warmer in there! I haven't seen it drop below 62 degrees so far this winter. That's much more comfortable, and it's easier for the space heater to do its job. I'll call it a success!

Using curtains and fabric to line your unfinished basement walls is a really neat idea, and it turned out really well

You described my moms’s life when I was a kid in a small NYC apartment . After dinner clean up, was sewing time then, sewing clean up, repeat! I ironed open seams and hems. I’m very fortunate to have a small niche my husband carved out for me. Folding tables from Costco are great. The organization struggles are real! Greetings from New York City.❤

Excellent video tour....I appreciate how you recycled, reused, thrifted, etc. You made it clear that budget issues do not have to block creative pursuits. Thank you!

Kudos for re-creating your space almost entirely with what you have and without an IKEA binge! I am in the process of a similar adventure but with white paint and, like you, plenty of family treasures. Happy stitching, Miss Colleen!

I love it! This is one of the coziest sewing rooms I have seen! Great job! I am in the process of creating my own sewing/craft space in an extra bedroom, now that the girls are married, and I am trying to get inspiration on a budget. Those lamp shades are ingenious!❤️

It’s a great space. Mine, is what I call my multi room, sewing/quilting, office, studio, gallery, timeout. Like you, I have many crafty things that I like to do; from sewing to painting to paper crafting of all kinds. I’m addicted

You did a phenomenal job on this. I was just upstairs looking at our attic for something similar, a space for my crafting to be in one spot, and cringing at how it looks. Your video gives me hope that I can turn my pig’s behind of an option into something as welcoming as you have with your basement.

Very interesting. I love how you mixed vintage items with your current items. You sure gave me lots of ideas. Thank you, Carrie

What a lovely, creative space! The fabric draped on the wall makes it feel very cozy!! ✂️🪡🧵💕

Clean, fresh, organized and not overly cluttered. You made a beautiful space!

I love the antique irons to hold the sewing books and the dresdens on the sewing cabinet, thank you for this inspiration!

I am 61 years old and I have a lot of the things you call antique (LOL), I am in the process of making a new sewing room, craft room. I also made a floor chart for mine (don't have to move stuff around too much) You have given me a lot of ideas to make my room better. I do, however, have a sewing table that holds my sewing machine and baby lock machine. I bought the table when I was 22 and still have it. Thanks for the ideas!

I love the idea of using old irons for bookends. 👏🏼👏🏼❤ hope to find them in an antique shop and copy your idea. 🍀

💕So personal, meaningful to you, and real! I absolutely love your space
-
You did a fantastic job at keeping it inexpensive and making it functional and beautiful even with some unusual challenges!😊

Command strips work great for hanging stuff! Your room looks great but so different from a quilter’s sewing space. 🙂

Well done, Colleen👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I can totally relate to using my dining room table to sew and craft. The struggle is real.
-
What an improvement, looks fantastic! So warm and friendly, makes you want to spend time being creative.

Love the throw and pillows on the couch! The pegboard and cutting station are very efficient and functional.
