I feel for those who don't have their own sewing area. I've been really lucky that most of my life I've had a spare room to sew in. In my last home, I used the formal living room/dining room to sew in. It was huge! Now I have the largest bedroom (upstairs) to sew in. I would have liked to have the den, but DH claimed it for his man cave.
My oldest daughter got a sewing machine for Christmas last year from her SO. She has taken a spare bedroom and made it her sewing area. (no kids)
One day, we shall all be empty nesters and have our very own sewing space! (I love being an empty nester!)
