Sewing Studio Final Touches

The sewing studio is ready for sewing!! I added a final touch that should help to keep things organized. Not sure where I remember seeing the idea to use Peg board, but it was something that when I did see it, it stuck in my head. The stuff comes in a 2' x 4' size which was perfect for the space I had in mind, but I wish now I had gotten another one and put them side by side on another wall. This stuff is great for organizing sewing room notions. I painted the front side a pretty lavender to give my studio some color. I like the clean look that white gives but there was too much of it.

The pictures don't show it, but you have to add some wood rails to the back that frame the perimeter of the peg board. If the peg board is flat against the wall the wire pegs of the hangers won't insert into the holes.

I saw this on Pinterest and loved the idea so I had to try making one. It's scrapbook paper cut into hexagons to mimic quilt blocks. I used modge podge to glue them to a paint canvas. It was time consuming to cut the hexagons but I love the finished wall art.

The other thing I decided was instead of curtains I would just hang one of my quilts. I'll change it out periodically so I can enjoy some of my creations.
