How many of you can relate: it’s late at night and you’re hunched over your sewing machine. Your eyes are squinting, desperately trying to make sure you’re sewing a straight line down the seam of your new skirt, but it’s so hard to see! After an hour or so, you have to stop. You have a major headache!
Now, I already know you guys are probably pretty good at finding time to craft, but sometimes life can be a little hectic. More often than not, I find myself unable to craft until much later in the evening. I will willingly admit it: I am a night crafting owl. Are you one too?
If you are, I’m sure you’ve come across the challenges that happen with the absence of natural sunlight. When you’re crafting in the evening, decent lighting becomes crucial. Not only will the proper amount of light keep your eyes from straining, but it will also improve the quality of your work. Why? Because you’ll be able to see what you’re doing! You won’t have to squint to sew up those seams, instead they’ll be magically illuminated by your handy crafting light.
If you haven’t quite found the right light for your craft room, I would highly recommend this Naturalight Craft Floor Lamp in Antique Brass found on CutRateCrafts. This light is specifically designed to help reduce glare, making it much easier to craft in confidence and without any eye strain. And with a classy antique brass finish, I’m sure the rest of your home decor won’t mind either!
What time of light set up do you have in your craft room? Do you have any good lighting tips? We’d love to hear them!
