Linking up with WIP Wednesday today.
Or, “my sewing space is a complete mess, but I find it hilarious and even slightly restful.”
My room has been transformed from a bedroom into a piecing factory. My bed provides nearly all the space I need to lay out cut fabrics in sets as I prepare for piece-work:
I’ve also spilled over onto the box that holds my blocking mats, which is right behind my sewing machine and a handy place to shove loose yardage:
Then there’s the actual sewing. My trusty Brother straight-stitch machine is set up on the sewing table, as seen here:
But it doesn’t like zippers much, so I’ve pulled out my old Euro-Pro machine, put the zipper foot on it, and set it up at a 90 degree angle on a folding table:
Why so much piece-work? Well, I’m churning out bags for my Etsy shop! After all, fundraising through sales only works if there are things to sell.
All sales from my Etsy shop in September and October go toward a donation to the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth Scholars program, which sends bright kids to college classes, or to a summer 3-week academic program, as well as matching them up with mentors. It’s an excellent cause, focused on families who need the financial assistance, and I’m delighted to be able to help even a little bit.

Hey, it’s a work space, ya know? Mine is pretty much always all over the place because I don’t want to take the time to clean, I want to make! Even though I’m pretty neat in the rest of my life, I tend to wait until I can’t stand it to clean out my studio because like I said, I’m working!
