The Sewing Room makeover - From the Mind of Christine McConnell

I’ve watched this video about 20 times since it came out. It’s my new comfort video. So beautiful, so calming. I love the shot of you looking for pieces for the thread carousel. You’re like Alice in Wonderland in that shoppe. 💜

I would love to see episodes on how you did some of the smaller projects in the room (the desk video was fantastic). Thanks!

Christine, this space is absolutely breathtaking. As a new Patreon member, I’ve already doubled my “I’m making that!” list—your creativity is endlessly inspiring. When I came across your custom dress form, I was thrilled to discover the original posts detailing how you brought it to life. My daughter (26) has dreamed of having a custom form since her late teens, when she first started experimenting with designing her own clothing. We’re both long-legged and long-waisted, which makes finding anything that fits just right a real challenge. When I showed her your videos, she was completely speechless—just in awe of the elegance and cleverness of your design. We’ve decided to make one together this fall or winter, once I’ve settled into my new home. Thank you for the beauty, creativity, and joy you share with the world. You’ve truly inspired a mother-daughter project we’ll treasure.

I think this might be my favorite room you've done. You've deserved a dedicated sewing space for ages. I adore the gilding you did on the new leather desktop. I've seen that on antiques so many times, but never custom, and it never occurred to me that you could just do that yourself. Carrying the original paint colors down the walls and over the ceiling was genius. I'm so glad you uncovered the marble fireplace! I hope you keep a little photo of the original lady who spent her life in that room somewhere. She did an amazing job with those birds.

I'm still so jazzed that the sparrows not only stayed through all the stages this room has been through, but that you worked them into the deak to tie them to the room and link everything back to the first inhabitant of it. 🥰 Now THAT'S poetry!
