Just want to participate in the Studio Spotlight Link Party hosted by The Sewing Loft & Ellison Lane. I have enjoyed looking at all the spaces each day featured over the last week. I started in a closet – but kinda expanded into taking over a corner in our rec room where my family hangs out. The closet now stores my stash as it should.
I think what inspires me the most is getting on old broken singer sewing machine and then fixing it up. I have given 11 sewing machines away so far – to anyone who has an interest in sewing. Most items in my space are up cycled or from yard sales. My latest find has been a free white singer featherweight! It was like winning the sewing lottery.
Sewing is a part of my day, after work…time to relax and create. Here is where I sew.
My hubby is a social worker, so he is very understanding dealing with my SMAD (sewing machine acquisition disorder), while my teens call me the ‘sewing freak’ 🙂
Post Script: How does your family re act to your sewing?
Love the space! Are you self taught as a machine repair person? I’d love to learn how to do it.
Yes, self taught. It’s easy and there are so many helpful people in the blogosphere. if you ever need any help just let me know! I have one computerized machine that I bring in for servicing – they are a different beast.
But, old singer mechanicals, or white, kenmores…anything all metal – .they are very much the same and most often just need oil and a tension adjustment!
Thank you for sharing your sewing space with us on The Studio Spotlight Tour. ~Heather
Some of my friends do not understand my sewing machine obsession either, but I love my machines! LOL
Here too… 🙂 one set up with blk thread, one with white, one with a buttonholer, one for the rv… One for upstairs incase we have a guest staying in out basement. 🙂
I love that you can fix machines! Now if they would just make those metal machines again…..
They made them in the millions! I mostly find them on my local craigslist. I have to stop collecting them – running out of room! 🙂
What a great space! I have one of the old machines and love it. Your such a good person for fixing up the old machines and giving them to others.
The old machines will last forever. I have to give some away or I could be classified as a hoarder! 🙂
