Where is the strangest place you have set up a sewing space? I had the strangest thought today. My master bathroom is huge. Well lit, plenty of outlets. But a crazy idea!
I have, before, set up my sewing machine on one end of an ironing board, set low, at the end of my best friend's bed, as she was in her final days.

Go for it! Plenty of light and outlets - my dream space! Who cares if it's in the bathroom? I would definitely sew in mine if it wasn't the size of a henhouse.

A very small henhouse.

I didn't really setup a sewing space, but I have a set of plastic containers that go in our RV. I do hand sewing. Usually EPP, but I did applique the center motive of my DD wedding quilt while traveling around the Southwest. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t247008.html

Hmm...we're in the design phase of a master bath reno. The designer suggested a make-up counter in front of the large window where the tub sits now (we're getting rid of that tub to enlarge the shower). I don't wear a lot of make-up so that idea didn't thrill me but maybe it could be a sewing counter... great natural light. No, I have a sewing room so I don't need that.
Not a strange place but, I have set up my machine on my screened porch. Good light, nice breeze and I can hear the birds.

​I set up my sewing machine in the church sanctuary on a card table. I was sewing banners that had to be measured and fitted.

Not strange, but I like to sew on our deck. When it's really hot, the large maple tree provides shade for relief. On occasion I have to weight fabric pieces to keep them from blowing away. : )

When I was young I was a dining room waitress, we had a banquet room that I could watch the dining room in. I had my sewing machine there until the boss found it....

The humidity in a bathroom would probably be bad for your sewing machine. Just a thought.

I haven't sewn in any unusual places but I have pretty much taken over the whole house with various quilting tasks. Cutting on the kitchen island. Sewing in my small sewing room and also a space in the basement for my Featherweight. Basting in the dining room. Quilting on my Sweet Sixteen in the living room. Actually, the bathrooms are the only sewing-free places, unless you count the stray threads and dog ear trims that occasionally make their way in there.

I don't know how weird this is, but I sew in my dining room. In fact, I have taken it over as my sewing space. It's perfect: Lots of natural light by day, and a chandelier-type light overhead with 6 bulbs for light by night.

I have taken our formal living room and dining room as our quilting area. Our LA is in the formal LR and I have a sewing machine on the dining room table to sew bindings when quilting. IMHO formal areas are overrated.
