Organizing the Perfect Sewing And Quilting Studio

by

Organizing the Perfect Sewing & Quilting Studio with ZJ Humbach is a must-watch for any quilter or sewer looking to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing studio space. The instructor, ZJ Humbach, is a highly experienced professional in the field, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the course.

The video starts with ZJ providing an overview of everything needed to create the perfect studio. She covers all aspects of the design process, from conceptualizing your vision to selecting the right wall color and flooring. This includes essential information on electrical and lighting, storage options, and more. ZJ’s clear and concise delivery of this information is incredibly helpful for anyone starting from scratch, or looking to update their existing space.

One of the best parts of the video is when ZJ takes the viewer on a tour of her studio. She shares her own experiences in the design process and provides a wealth of tips and ideas for creating a space that is unique to you. This hands-on approach is extremely valuable and will inspire viewers to think outside the box when creating their own space.

In addition to the video content, the course comes with printable PDF documents to assist in the design process. These are incredibly useful, as they provide a clear outline of what to consider when setting up your studio. The course also includes a supply and cut list for the class project – a quilting sewing machine organizer. This project is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, and is sure to help keep your machine and supplies organized and easily accessible.

ZJ Humbach’s background and experience in the field of quilting and sewing is impressive. With her Master of Arts Teaching degree, emphasis on curriculum development, and years of experience, ZJ is well-equipped to guide viewers through the design process. Her work in McCall’s Quilting, Quilters Newsletter, and Quiltmaker magazines, as well as her former role as an editor at Quilters Newsletter, make her a highly respected voice in the quilting community.

Etsy Spotlight: A Moo-velous Make for Highland Cow Lovers

Okay, confession time: I’ve always dreamed of having a Highland cow as a pet. There’s just something magical about their shaggy coats, sweet eyes, and gentle nature that makes them utterly irresistible. But since zoning laws (and my backyard) don’t quite allow for the real thing, I’ve found the next best option — this Highland Cow Sewing Pattern on Etsy.

This adorable PDF pattern lets you stitch up your very own fluffy Highland friend, complete with detailed photo instructions that guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re crafting it as a cuddly toy, a cozy décor piece, or a unique gift, this little cow brings all the charm without any of the farm chores.

It’s suitable for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike, and with the right fabric (faux fur, anyone?), you can really bring that signature Highland cow fluff to life. And yes, I’m already picturing a mini herd in festive scarves come Christmas!

At CraftGossip, we love supporting independent Etsy sellers who bring whimsy and heart into their handmade patterns—and this one is a standout. So if you’re like me and secretly dream of Highland cows roaming your living room, this might just be your next feel-good project.
