Comment meubler un atelier de couture pour faire du quilting ?
I know, I cheated, Mobilier means furniture, but I'm allowed to use French words in the AtoZ Challenge, right? ;)
So, how to furnish a sewing and quilting studio?
Idéalement, on trouve dans l'atelier une table de couture (sewing table), une table de coupe (cutting table), et une table de repassage (pressing station).
A dreamy sewing studio has a sewing table, a cutting table, and a pressing table.
Il existe des petits meubles tout-en-un, pliables pour gagner de la place :
There are small all-in-one furniture, foldable to gain space:
Mais le prix étant souvent très élevé, il y a de nombreuses alternatives à faire soi-même, parfois à base de meubles Ikea :
But the price is often very high, so there are many DIY alternatives, a lot hacking Ikea furniture:

You have shared some great sewing studio ideas!
RépondreSupprimerThe pieces of furniture look elegant.
RépondreSupprimerSome are really beautiful, but most important, they have to be functional ;)
Supprimergreat ideas - I wish I had room for a large pressing station but I make due with a tiny square on top of a cabinet or set the iron up in the kitchen and walk back and forth
RépondreSupprimerYep, I know this kind of "sewing place"! I used to live in a sailboat, and the space was really tiny ;)
SupprimerGreat ideas for your sewing studio. I used Buzzinbumble's idea of the book case with an extra board that is covered. Works great for me.
RépondreSupprimerIt's all in one, I love it too!
SupprimerI have made only one quilt top and then had it quilted by a Mennonite church group that charged by the spool of thread. What a deal! I love quilts but just can't get into making them.
RépondreSupprimerTry it again! There are so many kind of quilts, traditional or modern, appliqué or pieced, painted with thread or fabric collage, so many many different wasy to make a piece of art!
SupprimerI am going to bookmark your post as I am at the beginning of a major renovation in my sewing 'loft' area!
RépondreSupprimerGood luck Sandra! And I hope to see photos of the new place on your blog ;)
SupprimerThere are so many great ideas for sewing rooms out there! Thanks for sharing them! I'd love to have the perfect set-up, but have to work with the room I have and so far...it's working!
RépondreSupprimerNot so easy to deal with the space we have, but even in a small place it's great to move things to work well. The perfect set-up is the one working for you ;))
SupprimerLots of nice photos.For my cutting station I used an interior door, covered drywall with batting and heavy cotton. Placed the covered drywall on top of the door and cutting mat on top. If I want to press a quilt I remove the cutting mat.
RépondreSupprimerGreat idea! And you have a large working area!
SupprimerSome hobbies are more expensive than others and a crafting table is a must have for projects like quilting. Great to be here and I hope you are having a marvelous day! Jackie's Bookbytes Letter M
RépondreSupprimerYes I do, guess what I will watch tonight??? ;)))
Supprimeruhhh... Game of Thrones? lol. Well, now that you know all the letters, nobody can say "You know nothing, (jon snow) Frederique :) 🧔
SupprimerVery dreamy possibilities here! I tend to just use what's on hand and make it work. So far, so good!
RépondreSupprimerI wish... I cut on the floor or the dining room table.
RépondreSupprimerI'm mending my quilt directly on the bed. Have to remember to check for needles and pins before getting under the covers!
;-)
SupprimerThank you, I hope to use some of your ideas.
RépondreSupprimerHacking IKEA furniture seems to be a popular pastime...
RépondreSupprimerYes it is ;))
SupprimerMy best friend is a quilter I'm sending her right over to your blog! Excellent stuff here and thanks for the translations. My grade school French is no more :-)
RépondreSupprimerI keep meaning to get my husband to make me a great pressing board, and always forget to bring it up. I like to keep my ironing board a good little distance away from the sewing machine, because it's so bad for our longterm health to sit for long periods. At least this way I get a wee bit of walking around every few minutes.
RépondreSupprimerGreat way to do exercice ;)
SupprimerI think the only rule is to go via the alphabet. They haven't specified that it must all be in English, so I think you're fine. Nice setup for a room. Ah, to have a dedicated crafting room...
RépondreSupprimerCan be useful to use other language in the Challenge ;) Since I started to quilt, it's only been 5 years since I have a dedicated sewing room... so good ;)
SupprimerM = Mobilier is great idea and you have so many nice ideas there!
RépondreSupprimer-Soma
Of course it's okay to use French. Thank you for the translation. Last year, two bloggers used languages/words other than English - one used Afrikaans, the other used Sanskrit words.
RépondreSupprimerBeautiful photos and ideas in your post. All the best for the rest of the challenge.
Great! Thank you, because I may need to use French words again ;)
SupprimerThank you for sharing such good information with Moving it Forward!
RépondreSupprimerSo many options! I love seeing how different quilters solve their own unique sewing space problems with furniture and storage choices. Thanks for linking up to What I Made Monday!
RépondreSupprimerSometimes it's just great to dream ;)
