A Tour Through Valerie's Charming Sewing Room
Share
Welcome to a cozy behind-the-scenes look into the creative world of Valerie, the talent behind Hugs and Stitches. In her latest YouTube video located below, Valerie gives us an exclusive tour of her sewing room—a warm, inviting space that began as a dining room and evolved into a hub of creativity.
From Dining Room to Sewing Studio
Originally a dining space, Valerie’s sewing room has been cleverly transformed into a crafting studio filled with functional workstations and IKEA storage. Two large craft tables sit back-to-back to maximize surface area, surrounded by sewing machines, tools, and colorful fabrics. While the room may soon return to its original purpose, Valerie plans to relocate her setup upstairs—so this is a special look at her current creative sanctuary.
Clever Storage & Organization
Valerie’s sewing room is a masterclass in organized chaos. She uses IKEA Kallax units to sort her fabric stash by color and type, ensuring easy access. Rolling carts, fabric-wrapped boards, and trays keep her notions, rulers, and cutting tools neatly arranged. Every item has a designated home, creating an efficient and inspiring workspace.
Sewing Machines & Favorite Tools
Valerie proudly introduces her trusted sewing machines—the Janome she learned to quilt on and her current favorite, the Juki TL 2010Q. Alongside these are key tools like a cordless Panasonic iron, self-healing cutting mats, and carefully selected accessories, all chosen to support her quilting and bag-making projects.
Creative Projects in Progress
At the heart of Valerie’s space are the projects that fuel her passion. Whether she's working on a cheerful Strawberry Social quilt or prepping for a farmers' market, her love for crafting is evident. Her sewing room isn't just functional—it’s alive with inspiration, color, and creativity.
A Space for Passion and Peace
For Valerie, this room is more than a workspace—it’s a personal retreat. It’s where she dreams up designs, creates for her business, and finds joy in the rhythm of making. With plans to introduce an embroidery machine and launch her own website, her creative journey is just getting started.
