It’s the 3rd and final week of the REAL Studio Tour hosted by Vicki at Field Trips in Fiber. This week we’re sharing photos of our studios as they really look in mid-project.
So here’s mine. My studio is located in our second bedroom, an awkwardly-shaped room of approximately 220 square feet, which also houses our exercise bike and treadmill. So it’s quite a small area, and I’ve squeezed a lot of functionality into it. Here’s what it looks like from the doorway. I’m not currently in the sewing phase of a project, so the sewing machine table is covered with piles of magazines, miscellaneous paperwork, Christmas wrapping and sewing tools.
Right now, the counter is covered with bits and pieces relating to my current project – the portrait quilt on the design wall. Everything really does have a designated place, and will get put away when I’m finished this project, before I start the next one.
Hidden behind my design wall are boxes full of large ziploc bags of scraps. (I love ziploc bags – I also use them to store my spools of thread, also sorted by color.) In theory each bag of scraps should have a separate color, but I can see at least 2 bags that need to be sorted into colors.
If you’d like to see more about my quilt studio (and what it looks like when it’s all cleaned up), click here and here and here.
Check out the links on Vicki’s blog to see Vicki’s 4(!) studio rooms, and the sewing spaces of at least 33 others. The link is open until Thursday, so there will likely be even more people linking up in the next few days.
I, too, have the second bedroom for my workspace, and it’s surprising how functional we can make it. Enjoyed the peek into yours!
I love all of that counter space that you have! Of course I’d have it all piled high with stuff.
