I have a magnetic board in my sewing room with clippings on it- all sorts of things. I also read lots of blogs for inspiration too. Thanks for participating in Giveaway Day.

Abby said...

I don't have a sewing room or much inspiration lying about where I sew. But I do bookmark any tutorials, fabric or sewn items I find that I love to inspire me! Sometimes I'll go through the bookmarks and get so much inspiration and motivation for sewing! It's great.

Thanks for doing such a great giveaway!

I was just staring at my "underwater wall" earlier this evening. A Neptune mini I received in a swap & 2 mermaid embroidery hoops I've received in other swaps. Then there's my few tiny scraps of Mendo stuck up on my design wall.

Cute pouch! Thanks for the chance. :)

Julie O. said...

In my sewing room I have a bulletin board for photos and clippings and doodles. I also just love to stare at my stash of fabric and think of all of the possibilities.

Pictures of my daughter- she's an actress - in productions at a theatre in Pennsylvania. I worked there at her age and its where I really learned to sew- making costumes:). I still make a costume for her now and then- and one of the photos is of her as Belle Ebenezer Scrooge's love interest) from A Christmas Carol, in a dress I made for the character. I also have a wall quilt made with Stitch in Color- love that line :)
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

I don't have a sewing room at present; I hope to make a back room in my home into a craft room. When I do start that project, I plan on using my happy colors, turquoise and red. They make me smile!

I don't have a sewing room either - but if I did I would hve built in shelves to stack my fabrics on, some cute glass jars to organize buttons and zippers and ric-rac.....some day!

Flaming Nora said...

Lovely.
I have books, magazines, fabrics, newspaper articles, bits of crochet and general ephemera scattered liberally round the walls of my studio. Not sure if it helps or not...

Your zippys are just lovely and you are so kind and generous to offer them up to us. Thank you!

I have a big magnetic board in my room and any thing I love, I stick a picture up there.

Susanm said...

I use the dining room table, but I like to pull out various fabrics from time to time and look at them/touch them.

Sew Lovins said...

I made a quilt specifically to hang and be inspired by in my sewing room:)

Sandra :) said...

I have my Tablet in my sewing room for inspiration - I open it to Pinterest and a few other favourite sites, to find a zillion ideas!

Susie said...

Oh so cute! I love all things patchwork, and quilted patchwork to boot!
In my studio I have a wall covered in a mural that was painted by Rebecca Rebouché (so talented!) in a collaboration with Anthropologie. It's truly magical: trees, seasons, day, night, birds, a bicycle in a tree, red shoes, striped seahorses, teacups in a boat, a narwhal... I sometimes leave the lights low, have a hot cup of tea, sit in my comfy chair and just let my eyes and mind wander on that wall...

Heather H said...

Red, white, and blue AND Paris fabric? Perfect for this American girl who used to live in Paris! It's seriously so cute. My sewing room is actually a corner of my dining room so it's pretty inspirationless. I use my itunes for that!

KhaosCat said...

They are so cute! I have a picture of my grandma she is my sewing inspiration since she taught me. She past away recently but the picture helps me through thank you!

This fabric combo is fabulous! Love it! :) I keep a photo of my daughter, wearing one of the very first outfits that I designed and sewed for her, right near my sewing machine. It makes me smile to see her rockin' a handmade original and makes me proud to see how much my skills have improved! ;)
Thanks for the chance!
Best,
