I decided to use my new Jessica Jones fabric to spruce up the studio a bit. A cheery place to work does wonders for the attitude!
I made a new sewing machine cover, new curtains and recovered my sewing stool.
For the sewing machine cover I made up a pattern. I need a cover that only has one side on it because I don't like to mess up the threading of my machine with a cover and I like to cover it all the time it's not in use. This one slips off and on in a snap!
For the curtains I used
my own "Uncurtain" tutorial, but this time I made two larger panels instead of four smaller ones. I also pieced a simple log cabin block so I could make the best use of the fabric I had left over.
I'm going to clean today too. Then back to work!

Love the colors and the leaf print, Jacquie!
I LOVE Jessica Jones' fabric, and what a great idea to use them to spruce up your sewing space! Everything looks wonderful!
so cute and sunny looking.
Looks so fresh and pretty. Nice going!
so crisp and fresh and inviting! love the spring look :-)
Looks great, Jacquie! Fresh and inspiring.
Lovely... so fresh!
I have a question about your stool. I'm looking for a comfortable, ergonomically correct chair for my sewing station and hadn't even thought about a stool. Pros? Cons?
Thanks so much!
it's just lovely! so fresh and spring like!
How fun Jacquie. Now, can you come clean up my sewing room?
What a wonderful idea! I see a fabric cover for my sewing machine in my future! Perhaps new curtains, too! I love your blog!
I love it! So fun and it matches your art work too. Have fun cleaning and sewing.
How pretty! Hopefully it will help with your "funk" mood too. Maybe get you back into productivity? Hope so!!
Such a smart idea to make a cover that slides over the side but doesn't interfere with the thread. I hope your sewing space continues to make you so happy.
Beautiful!! Can i come sew at your house?
Lovely - what a fun space to create in :-)
Fresh and cheery sure to inspire many more lovely quilts.
I've never quilted, but I want to! Your quilts (and curtains) are just gorgeous!! I can't wait to learn. I used to sew (it's been several years), but I obviously have a lot yet to learn. :)
Love those fabrics - especially the leaf print!
It looks great! We have been fixing up areas of our house, and it is so refreshing. Love the prints you used!
Jealous! What a happy looking room!!
I think your machine cover is a great idea. I don't cover mine because of my thread stand, I will have to get busy and make a cover like yours.
Gorgeous! Now that's a place where some inspiration can happen (and already has!).
Very fresh and pretty!! What a lovely studio you have Jacquie!
Cute, cute, cute!!! So clean and uncluttered - you will enjoy working (playing) in there!!! I'm envious!
Happy Stitching!!!

I love your space, can I ask what type of sewing table do you have? I love it, do you? Where could one get one? I love your color choices for your room!
Very lively and lovely... happy Spring!
It's gorgeous Jacquie -- so fresh and colorful!!!
Looks beautiful!
Love the sewing room spruce up - it looks so fresh and summery! Makes me realize how badly mine could use some improvements too :)
This looks so great. I wish you'd come spruce mine up - it's a holy wreak.
enjoy your new sewing area and its new look!
Very nice indeed! I love the curtains, I honestly never thought to make my own. I have been needing cutains for a while now, I should really look into that.
Cheers!
