Contributing editor Louise Cutting's studio is covered with sewing-related decorations.
Below is a roundup of some of our favorite sewing room decoration ideas from Threads. If you’re looking for a way to spruce up your studio, look no further.
Owner of Cutting Line Designs and Contributing Editor Louise Cutting shared her Winter Park, Florida, sewing space with us in Threads #173.
Louise adds color to her room by placing high-end shopping bags from all around the world above cabinets and bookshelves. She also frames and hangs her hand-drawn pattern illustrations on cabinets, bookshelves, and on just about any free wall space she can find.

In addition, Louise always knows where to find the right pair of scissors. She conveniently hangs her many varieties on hooks attached to a peg board close to her sewing machines.

In Threads #174, business owner and couture sewer Helen Haughey let us tour her lovely sewing studio in her St. Louis, Missouri, home.
Helen says this wooden MyKoalaStudio table is the perfect combination sewing/cutting table for her. The additional storage space beneath the surface is provides room for displaying fabric and other treasured memorabilia.

Helen also has a beautiful fitting setup. In addition to her tri-fold mirror, she has plenty of space for client fittings on a covered platform.

In Threads #175, Mary Ray described her favorite methods for storing fabrics, notions, and thread in her Banner Elk, North Carolina, studio.

Mary uses decorative threads to add color to her studio as well. She stores them in shallow, wooden wine boxes, which she uses as shelves.

In Threads #176, Ruth Ciemnoczolowski explained that she loves to fill her Omaha, Nebraska, studio with inexpensive furniture and storage units so she can put her hard-earned money toward high-quality fabrics and supplies.
This 3-foot-by-6-foot whiteboard display helps Ruth keep track of important dates, projects, and shopping lists. She made it herself using three whiteboards, narrow black tape, stick-on letters, and duct tape printed with tape measure markings.

Since Ruth saves a fortune on organization, she doesn’t feel guilty about spending money on precious fabrics and notions. This lovely button, for instance, cost $100 and is made with sterling silver and rhinestones. Until she finds a use for it, Ruth has it framed on the back of her studio door.

In Threads #178, modern quilter Denyse Schmidt showed us her office space in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
You’ll see Denyse stores fabric and supplies on vintage shelving units with wheels for easy mobility. Denyse’s prominently displayed fabrics brighten up the room and make it easy to see what she has available to work with at all times.

The scissors stand looks so professional. Kudos for the article!
These are all so cute! I want my own sewing room now.

Seriously, how many scissors does one need xD
All 9 were lovely. I am now considering to enhance my "work station" with any of them to some degree. Thank you for the ideas!
If you design your room living/family room, even bath room, then why you should leave those rooms where we work for example sewing room. And what could be more creative than using self created items from your work related goods.
Any way nice post keep it up!
