This past week I received a great question from Ellie about quilting in a super tiny sewing space. I decided to shoot an entire podcast episode just to answer her question and share my tips for sewing and quilting in a small area
There’s no doubt about it – quilting takes up SPACE! I realized this
while hand quilting at Hart Square last month. The quilting frame I was sitting at took up about 1/2 of the room in a tiny log cabin. Consider the space our TVs, huge couches, giant dining room tables, and overstuffed recliners take up.
I got serious about sewing when Josh and I moved into a tiny 500 square foot apartment.
We had a 150 foot square master bedroom which left just enough space for a computer in one corner and sewing machine in the other. I had about 2 1/2-feet from the edge of the bed to the wall that I could set up my sewing machine.
So that's about it for this week. , what is your sewing space like? Spacious and well-lit, or cozy and small? I'd love to hear about your sewing room, studio, nook, or crafty cranny! Please reply to this newsletter with your own experience about your personal sewing or quilting space.
Until next week, let's go quilt,
Leah Day
