i was sew upstairs in my dinning room and living room. my son moved out and i took over his room in the basement, its 15 by 20 ft, i took the closet doors off that made the room even bigger. then once i was done there i didnt need the teenage furiture anymore ,so i sold all that , now i have a 30 by 60 ft basement area for storage, sewing, ironing and i order a cutting table from the hardware store and i put the in the other room. so now i go downstairs sew as long as i want then just turn every thing off, and nobody can see any of the mess its all down stairs. my upstairs stays clean and orderly now i love it.
