Our Studio Transforms to Meet Changing Lifestyles

I have opened a shop on Etsy, Greater Retro Area, where I offer handmade sewn and vintage goods. This of course required our space to transform into part-home, part-sewing factory. With a little re-arranging, the purchase of a compact desk on CraigsList, and a shabby shelf on eBay, I am all set to start production without it impeding on our living space...




My trusty StyleMaker 3100 and my new Singer ProFinish Serger sparkling in the sunshine!


I really love this shelf. I have a place to hang my spools of ribbon (on a tension rod) and fabric for inspiration, as well as other odds and ends. My little yellow ducky came from the historic Gift Shop in the Herb Cottage where I volunteer, and it reminds me of all the wonderful ladies who run that lovely shop.
