We present to you…..

Jeni Baker  is the lucky girl this month. She shows us how she has transformed the second bedroom of her apartment into a "Sewing Haven" and explains the difficulties of doing so in a rented space. You can see how she used her creativity to overcome the obstacle. Bravo Jeni!!

 

"Sewing Haven"

I live in a tiny two bedroom apartment in Wisconsin with my boyfriend and pet bunny George.  I am very lucky to have the second bedroom for my sewing space.  It may be small, but it's mine, and I squeeze a lot into the space!

Since we are renters and we can't paint, I've tried to cover the white walls with as many mini quilts as I can, to bring color to the room. I love sewing mini quilts to test out a design or color scheme, and they make great wall art!

In addition to my fabric collections, I have my favorite vintage kitchenware pieces in the room, simply because they make me happy! I also use a lot of vintage tins, wooden boxes, and dishes to store threads, pincushions and other odds and ends.

I love being surrounded by color, it's pretty hard to be unhappy when you're surrounded by fabric and quilty goodness! :)

 

…. Thank you Jeni for showing us your space. Your creative use of fabrics and quilts to bring life in a rented space is exceptional. I also LOVE the kitchenware's… They are quite cheerful!

    Ladies, this is our second month doing the sewing room feature. If you would like to see last months you can type in Sewing Room of the Month in the search bar of this blog and it should bring it up.
    I am sooo happy you like these posts. I think it is so nice to see how others organize their space and especially how you can do so in a rented space.

    We LOVE Jeni! We were absolutely tickled to see our Make Everything With Love postcard on her inspiration board!!! Her space is almost as amazing as the things she makes in it, and having met her at last October’s Sewing Summit we can say that she’s one of our favorite sewists and bloggers around. Thank you for featuring her inspiring space!
