Planning your sewing and crafts space? These complementary print resources tell you everything you need to know to put
it all back--and make it work!
Design-oriented, hands-on and loaded with ideas, this book is a top-notch
guide to setting up a sewing area or sewing room.
Giesbrecht guides your personal analysis of sewing needs and available
space, culminating in a sewing space layout. The second half of the book is
chock-full of specific ideas for storage and project organization for both fashion sewing
and quilting.
Those who frequent quilt classes or sewing workshops will enjoy the
chapter on "Sew Far From Home". Need even more inspiration?
Giesbrecht concludes the book with a tour of real-life sewing spaces.
Are you the "show me!" type? This lavishly-illustrated
guidebook from Palmer/Pletsch will inspire your search for an organized sewing area.
This book's strengths complement Setting Up Your Sewing Space. Dream over color photographs of
ultimate sewing studios as you tour workspaces of sewing mavens Marta Alto, Pati Palmer
and other fiber artists and seamstresses. Investigate cabinetry, surfaces, lighting
and electrical requirements for an efficient sewing space.
Black uses a centers-based approach. You'll define your needs
and arrange space to include design, pressing, sewing and cutting centers.
Final chapters cover storage and organization, using different household
spaces to hold your sewing workspace, and the demands of professional and specialty
sewing: bridal, quilting, home dec and wearable art.
Savvy computer-using readers will
appreciate the tips on integrating computer use into the sewing workspace!
