When we wrote this list, we had intended for this to be a post about creating a sewing nook in our home, where Becky could tinker away with her projects to her heart’s content.

This is part of our 100 Things in 2017 challenge. Here’s the full list. Click on the photos for a closer look!

Instead, Becky’s sister Sarah moved back into the area, and since they were spending more time together (and Sarah had way more room), they decided a two-station sewing corner in the Swenson craft room would be more appropriate.

Ever since then, magic happens there. These sisters work in tandem on some pretty impressive things, from intricate embroidery to full-size quilts to refashioning to last-minute alterations on Goodwill purchases to make Halloween costumes. It’s even kind of a tiny sewing school for all the kids!
