Hello, I'm Taylor. I am the product manager at Seamwork and today I'm gonna take you through
my sewing space. Currently I am staying in our RV and it's a very small space,
all one room. So it's probably going to be a quick tour,
but I still thought it'd be good to show you how I deal with sewing in a small space.
All right, so right here is a big desk basically so I work over here um all week and then at night
or anything other projects I have um I work there to sew at and I get all my supplies out
I get everything out um and that's basically where my serger and my sewing machine live
whenever I'm working on projects. It's limited space but it definitely still works and I'm
just happy to have it in general. All right so here's a quick little view
of the whole space from a 360. Hi Daisy - here's my pup. Kind of area um we have this really great
stand where all of our entertainment stuff goes and my sewing machine and
serger and iron all fit very well in there so that's where I store them when I'm not using
my machine. We can start with my ironing station I typically just use a towel um
for my iron board technically and this whole space right here. It does the job um thankfully
I don't really have space for an ironing board or any other kind of really large
boards uh to use in sub and um replacement of that so the towel is working fine for me but
I definitely want to find a um ironing mat maybe one day. And then here is the machine area
uh they fit me well there and typically I can do a whole project without any problems uh in
this space so I'm really happy that I have the surface it's not super comfortable I guess like
ergonomically but it works and i'm super happy to have it and typically have a decent view so
that's also a plus. One of my favorite things about my sewing space um are these amazing drawers that
my partner Ben made for me um they go under the couch. I used to have to lift up the couch but now
I just have to open it and all the goodies are here, um It's not very organized right now but this
is probably how it typically is most of the time so you know keeping it real. You can like have
a pattern each of these boxes have different items and things that, like that one has thread,
that one has elastic and um other things i don't even know, um has a cool carrying package
project that have already been cut out, more um more cases, bias tape trims, um zippers, hardware.
So yeah these drawers are amazing and I use them all the time and I can just stuff stuff really
easily in here. This is what I keep my fabric in um I keep my wovens in this one and then I keep
my knits in this one um definitely I'm very well stocked on my fabric but I really like
that I can just pull these out and check whenever. Another really fun storage thing that I have is
this amazing little footrest seat ottoman kind of thing that can turn into a table but I keep
all of my scraps at the most that I can keep that I think are big enough that I might be able to
use for another project or something and they just easily fit in here and let me see if I can do this
well you get the idea. Yeah it's a nice little guy another present from my partner Ben he
really helps out. I really wouldn't be able to do all I do without this box um this box keeps
everything in here that I will ever need, it's super roomy, super compact um and I love it. It's
a great little guy especially for someone with a small space it's just so perfect. So that was it
um I'm very small space, I'm sure lots of you can relate, not having a designated space out
there to do your projects. I know it can get a little hard to get motivated because it's such
a chore to get everything out, get your project out, clear the space that you need to use then
finally have the energy to work on the project itself and you might not be able to find what you
need it's just kind of chaotic and I've definitely found that my sewing has lessened a bit um because
of this setup but I still really try and designate time um for it. It's just challenging, I'm sure
with everything else that's going on in the world with the pandemic also makes it super challenging
in general but um having a space that you have to have literally to set up every day if that's what
you want to do can get challenging. So I feel you I'm here for you. Let me know if you have
any other tips um I know I didn't really have a ton of tips but I think that these like kind of
secret storage areas are really what make my situation work so hopefully you have some too!
