I used to sew in our dining room, then moved to our bedroom, to our living room (since we now have a family room too) and now upstairs. I have a sewing room but it is extra small and I cannot do all in there - I have to cut downstairs.. it's a pain but good exercise. One day when all the kids are gone I will have the big bedroom upstairs.. it's about 16 ' x 20' - it will be all mine!! :) I do most of my handsewing wherever life takes me...
