Karen at Sew Many Ways has a great sewing room to work in…no lack of space going on over there! Not like me…I end up using my dining room table to cut fabric. She doesn’t have that problem with all this counter space. It’s wonderful!
Karen had to change thing up a bit after her home was flooded and they suffered major damage. Not good at all, but here’s the silver lining in that dark cloud…
Don’t you love this?! It’s all so organized, and Karen explains how she did this and the rest of the room on her blog. They took furniture from other parts of the house, and then painted…and painted! A little black paint can really help!
These are recycled boxes from water bottles covered in fabric and labeled with little tags. Creative recycling at its best!
The girl can organize, can’t she?! I so admire that because I try to get organized on a regular basis. The organization gene passed me by for sure.
Here’s her cutting area with a beautiful view out the windows. What a great spot to work!
To see more photos of Karen’s fabulous sewing room, and get a peek at the before photos of the furniture, visit Sew Many Ways! You’ll enjoy her blog full of creative projects!
Have you repainted or recycled anything to use in your craft or sewing area? I’d love to hear about it!

Absolutely beautiful and every sewer and craft person’s dream. I would love to have such space.
I am still in the organizing phase of my studio transition, from my son’s room (off to college) to my studio.
I love my little space to create!
I’m still putting my space together, but the first order of business was to paint a bunch of my old bedroom furniture (desk, 2 dressers, and a hutch) an antique white.
This is an awesomely inspirational space!

Oh wow – another fantastic space you’ve found! Thanks for sharing this. As someone who’s just beginning (and I mean “beginning”) to sew, these pics are really inspirational to see!
I don’t trust any crafter with a studio that tidy and clean…..Just kidding 😉 Great work space!
