I absolutely love to see other artist’s workspace. It’s like a little glimpse into the mind of the creator and what inspires them. Here are a few of my favorites plus a couple peeks at mine.

My little sewing corner with bulletin boards filled with things that inspire me.

Here is a look at Amy Butler’s Studio:

What I wouldn't give to have all of that space!

Alison Rose has a bright and colorful sewing studio.

I just love the framed vintage patterns.

I cannot get over the color combination in the next studio.  The teal and pink together kind of makes me want to squeal with delight, kind of the same way you do when you see a cute puppy for the first time! Look at the chinese lanterns and crocheted slippers on the wall!  I couldn’t resist showing two pictures of this studio.

Love those teal walls!

This fun bag is cute and environmental friendly! Instead of using grocery bags that harm the planet only one time, you can use this bag over and over again to bring your gorceries home. Another plus, this eco bag is incredibly easy to make!

Invisible Thread is sometimes needed for your project, but can be tricky to work with. Here are some helpful tips when working with this unique product:

- At most, slowly wind the bobbin  half-full and with less tension than normal.

- For a good stitch quality, tightening your bobbin tension may be needed.

- For using it in your needle, set your tension to the lowest setting, then gradually increase it until you get a good stitch quality.

- If your thread out of the needle is curling, the tension is too tight (and your thread will break).
