A studio, not a sewing room

Aug 25, 2026

 

Close your eyes for a second and picture walking into the space where you sew. What does it make you feel?

If the answer is "stressed," "cramped," or "a little scattered" β€” this week's post is for you. Because that feeling shapes what you make there, and whatever your space or budget, you can change it.

On the blog this week: the difference between a sewing room and a studio (it's not square footage β€” it's intention):

  • the seven components of a studio that works
  • my three-basket scrap system
  • what to do with the WIPs that are quietly stressing you out
  • and how to set up a beautiful mobile studio if you don't have a dedicated room at all
  • Plus a tour of my studio and my design-wall how-to

 

[Read the full post here β†’]


And I turned the whole thing into a free Studio Setup Guide & Checklist you can print and work through corner by corner:

You deserve a space that makes you want to walk in and make something.

It’s called a pop of color, and there are th...
How Do I Get Out of a Color Rut?
Β  Hi there, Today I want to answer the question I get asked in every single room I teach in β€” usually a little sheepishly, usually with a laugh: "How do I stop all my quilts from looking the same?" The short answer is that your rut isn't what you think it is. The long answer is below. And at the end there's an invitation, because this October I'm teaching my free live masterclass, Your Color St...
Your Fabric Palette Looks Off...
Have you ever laid out a pull of fabrics you love β€” every single one of them beautiful on its own β€” and had them just sit there on the table, not talking to each other? They don't pop. Something's off. And the worst part is you can't say what, so you can't fix it. I want to give you the word for that today. It isn't the colors, and it isn't your eye. It's one thing, it has a name, and once you ...
