Do you remember these photos? I started working on putting together a small sewing room a while ago.
I painted the wooden suite case...
Then put up wall paper and hard wood floors... (they are just scrap book paper. I LOVE the texture on the paper!)
I am so happy to finally share the finished sewing room today! I couldn't decide on the furniture arrangement at first. When that was done, I started making all sorts of decorations. Lots and lots of ideas with many possibilities flooded my mind and I really had to pick and choose what to do. I felt like the whole process was just like trying to decorate a real room; except everything I was working on was much smaller.
Welcome everyone to my small sewing room tour!
First up is this cupboard with spool and fabric bolts. I love, LOVE how this turned out!
In the sewing room, I needed a big table for cutting and putting the sewing machine on, and of course a place for treats every now and then. Can you believe I found this table at a dollar store a while ago? It was unfinished but I painted it white. I went back to buy more for future projects, but they don't carry them anymore (sob!).
This drawer chest is also a dollar store find. You can use your imagination of what's in the drawers... more fabrics, findings, yarns, books? Who knows. I made the cork board to pin up some pretty cutouts from a magazines.
One of my favorite things in this sewing room is this mannequin. I had several idea for the dress, but this is what my mind settled on. Wouldn't it be fun to make a live-sized one?
Fabric bolts in a tin. Sometimes I wish I could buy a bolt of fabrics when I find something I really love: here is my chance to have a "bolt" of fabric. Can you spot fabrics from Riley Blake, Art Gallery Fabric, Moda and Cotton + Steel?
The room is a mix of store bought items and things I made. In my next post, I will talk about what I made and how, so stay tuned!
I had forgotten about this until now. I love it! What an awesome, magical space. How big is the suitcase and where did you get it? Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you for sharing and I can't wait for your next post. I am getting ready to do a large doll house from top to bottom.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfection!!! I build dollhouses too and I'm planning on putting a sewing room in my next mini house. Your little room is absolutely dreamy and the mannequin with the blue dress is the cutest thing EVER! You're inspiring me to get back to work on my dollhouse!
ReplyDeletethat is adorable. I love it. It makes me want to make one. Any tiny room would be fun, but I just love the sewing room.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. This is so adorable and could be a replica of our shop. I love it so much! Great work!!
ReplyDeleteSoo lovely and nice :0))
ReplyDeleteThat is just so incredibly and magically adorable! I can imagine having that and imagining being shrunken down to sit there, just like when I was a little girl playing with my doll house stuff. I love it so much!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable; I love it! Looking forward to tips on how you created it.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! Looks so adorable and mini. I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable. I would love to have a regular-sized version of that room!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the kind of thing I used to make as a young teenager. My family could never understand how I could be bothered making all the tiny things, but I loved doing it. Your tiny sewing room is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY ADORABLE.
ReplyDeleteI'm with @Cotton Blossom... what is the size of the suitcase? Or did you use standard scale of dollhouses (1:12)? Absolutely fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI just spotted this on Craft Gossip - soooo adorable!! I left a comment on IG via @winkowl
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI need this in full scale size to be my sewing room!
ReplyDeletevery intricate work. looks beautiful. interesting details.
ReplyDeleteI have several miniature sewing machines and just love collecting them along with vintage sewing notions. This is just beautiful the way you put everything together. Painting all the furniture white really helps the fabric and room accessories stand out. Thanks for sharing all the tutorials. It's all so lovely.
