<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nNow it is clean and organized. Not for long, of course. But for now, I can share with you my delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To enter my studio, you first need to cross two doors, just like in a vault. One set of doors is there to protect my privacy and the other set is there to protect the members of this household and their property from omnivorous rabbits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we enter, we almost trip over a colorful cabinet made by my husband.<\/p>\n\n\n I purchased the large containers in Castorama, they are useful for hiding incoming packages from my family, (but do not tell anyone about it because once they find out my internet shopping sprees will come to an end.)<\/p>\n\n\n Next, turning to the right we have my trusty, industrial Zoya sewing machine. It sews a straight stich only. It has never given me any problems. The stich is always perfect, on both sides of the fabric. Nearby there is a small trolley \u2013 which can be moved around the workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n The entire wall is covered with a construction made of wood, on which I placed modular shelves from IKEA.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n I keep fabric scraps in the white boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n Lighting is installed right under the shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n Below the shelves I have pegboard wall organizer panels (IKEA again), on which I have hung up various tools needed for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under one of the countertops is my favorite dresser. I keep threads and rulers for quilting in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then there is a table with a portable ironing board that I made myself. Thanks to the portable board (sounds cool – portable) I can place my Bernina embroidery machine on the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n I hung another pegboard for organizing some tools, right above the table, I keep things there for hand sewing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n That table has a secret opening, which is usually covered with plexiglass and a cutting mat. The secret opening is made under my little Juki sewing machine (it was my prize for first place in the contest \u201cWhite & Red,\u201d a competition hosted by the Polish Patchwork Association). When I put the sewing machine inside and take off the board, I have a large sewing table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that\u2019s cool.<\/p>\n\n\n Of course, right under the table there are sliding drawers for my various \u201csave-it-for-later\u201d stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n Further on, you will notice a \u201csmall\u201d piece of furniture that takes up half the room. This is my Long Arm Bernina Q24 called Benia.<\/p>\n\n\n No space can be wasted, so right behind the Long Arm I have a small storage space for my cotton batting, and right under the frame, there are four dressers on wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving left, you can notice a door that, when open, hides my fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is felt stuck to the door to which I pin my work in progress. Unfortunately, felt does not have such properties as flannel, fleece, or cotton filling \u00a0and the fabric does not stick to it. Pins are needed. But besides that, it looks cool.<\/p>\n\n\n Next to the wardrobe, there is a playpen where the rabbits rule. Until recently, there was a lot more space, but since they are cageless anyways, I reduced the playpen a little bit (of course with mutual consent.) Now I have more room when quilting on Benia.<\/p>\n\n\n Right next to it is my favorite armchair that my family members fight over. Unfortunately, the rabbits and cats usually win that fight. I sit on it (if I even get the chance) to hand sew or crochet while watching TV. Right above the chair, I have an additional light.<\/p>\n\n\n We pass the fireplace and stop at the bookshelf that serves as my treasury of knowledge. I have many books about sewing and quilting there.<\/p>\n\n\n Additionally, I keep old Burda vintages hidden in the closed part. I had to install the door because the rabbits wanted to \u201cread\u201d the articles, (read = eat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The room has a large, illuminated table that can be lit up in sections, depending on how much light I might need. My husband made it for me. This is my main worktable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the top there is a small storage space for any fabrics that I am going to hand dye.<\/p>\n\n\n An additional tabletop is attached to the main table, which I lift when I need more space to work. Thetabletop also serves as an additional bedroom wall for the rabbits<\/p>\n\n\n\n I still have to tell you about the lighting in the room. Besides the regular lighting that I made myself (technical matters I left for my husband), I also have additional lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n Four additional ceiling lighting panels are mounted above the worktable, five over the Long Arm, one over the computer table and one over the ironing board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, my husband gave me a special lamp that reflects real daylight. Thanks to this little gadget it is ea<\/em>sier to choose the right colors for my projects.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
