Everyone wants to know, “When are you going to start teaching classes?!?” My answer is always the same, “Soon!” I want to get things done, but I also want to get them done right. I’ve been working hard at getting the studio up and running. I’m building most of the pieces myself and learning a LOT about woodworking along the way.
Here is a look at the sewing studio progress:
Lincoln, demonstrating how to sit at a sewing machine. I might need to make a pedal booster. I have 4 sewing stations set up right now, with the intention of adding more in the future.
This room used to be a basement bedroom. The vintage sewing machine was a gift from my dad.
Lincoln again, showing how to display flannels. That is a crib rail I scavenged out of the garbage. My Grandmother has the other side she’s going to use to display fabrics when putting a quilt together.
I work on this space every day, and it’s been so rewarding. I’ve also received loads of help from family and friends, especially my friend and sister in-law, Ruth. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to show the before photos some day!
