Whether you build on a kitchen table or are fortunate enough to have a dedicated space, we all have that happy spot in our homes where we get to create.
I am super lucky to have a dedicated room. Working with so many different mediums leaves me constantly battling storage issues but I make it work. The set up in the photos is how it mostly is for sewing. When I'm working on armor, I do the messy stuff in the garage and the non-messy stuff I just cover up a table with a plastic table cloth and get to work! When working with thermal plastics I use a scrap piece of shelving and silicon baking sheets to protect my tables from the heat. When I'm doing really messy stuff like using my bench sander to grind down plastic, I set myself up outside on a patio where it's easier to clean up the mounds of plastic bits. I also have a kitchen island that just happens to be 60 inches wide which is the width of a lot of fabric so I don't have to crawl around on the floor anymore to cut out big panels.
Where do you work on costumes??
