My Modern Domestic Life: Michelle's Sewing Room | Modern Domestic ...

When Lupine, Gina and I first opened Modern Domestic, our main goal was to provide the ultimate sewing room for Portland. Everyone deserves a well-lit, organized and beautiful space to stir up their creative juices. It was so exciting to set up MD. When I first peeked in the window and saw the potential of the space, my mind was building it out already. The cutting tables, the lighting, defined sewing and serging stations! Oh my! Lupine and I worked day and night with hammers, drills, sanders, coffee, a bottle of wine or two and then finally… our dream was realized! It was all worth it now that we can see your smiling faces sewing away.

I absolutely love sewing at MD. One of my favorite evening activities is to come into MD, forget about the work I normally do here and just SEW! Unfortunately I don’t always have the option to come into MD so I also have my own creative space at home that is my private refuge from the rest of the world.

I have always insisted on having some resemblance of a sewing room in every house I’ve lived in.Some were absolutely huge (because I insisted that the master bedroom is my space craft) and some were as small as 8 'by 8', but every sewing room I was put in place well loved and well used.

My current sewing room is not very big, but it's probably one of my favorites of all time. I had a love-hate relationship established when I set up. I liked the fact that it was extremely well lit during the day, with two walls of windows. I also hated the fact she had two walls of windows!

The size of the room is only 8 'x 14' and my sewing room also serves as my office. The enormous amount of windows presented evidence storage / shelf problem. Having been in the craft industry for the last 5 years and an avid sewist the last 20 has really built my supplies! Modern domestic scale has certainly helped the bottom of my collection of fashion jewelry beautiful that I could not pass up estate sales or bric-a-brac Shoppes when I lived in London, but I still have quite the cache .

I felt rather urban when my only solution was to build up. I have 9′ ceilings so I got myself a step stool and have become great pals with it. I scoured the web for stylish and reasonably priced shelving that was flexible in each of the shelves height adjustments. My friend suggested that I take a look at Rakks Store for wall mounted shelving brackets and standards . I liked what I saw and they worked perfectly on my main wall AND they carry wonderful desk brackets that fit into the same standards. To install, all you need is a level, a stud finder (always makes me giggle when I say it), a drill and the appropriate fasteners for your wall types. Like many Portlanders, I have a 100 year Old PDX style home with lath and plastered walls, so my preferred is definitely a toggle anchor. It is EXTREMELY important that you securely attach any shelves you put up so ask your local hardware store which would work best for your walls. Once the hardware was installed, I measured the length I wanted each shelf to be, went to Crosscut Hardwoods (amazing resource!), picked some 3/4″ plywood in Maple and had them cut it to size. Thanks guys! This system is so easy, versatile, inexpensive and I love the way it looks, so much that we put the same system, covered in burlap, in the retail area at MD.
