My girlfriend and I have both lived in tvl trailers, she with 3 children & dh & me and dh. I have a featherweight sewing machine I keep under the table and cutting mat goes under box spring on bed platform. Tools go on upper shelf in closet. Nap time is good to take things out and evenings obviously. Remember, even huge projects are done one block at a time, one step at a time. I use plastic boxes (w/handles) thin ones for scrapbooking from Kroger and larger from Joann to keep projects together and organized and now j's has another larger project box w/the front clips and handle that go 40% off. These are stackable in bookshelves, etc. Under the couch is another good place for cutting mat. Good luck-keep sewing. We did - you can too. We also set up tables outside w/cords and lots of people interested, possible group near you?
