Thequiltmama no you are not the only one. We currently live in a 1 bedroom cottage. I have to bring out my sewing machine and set it up on the only table I have which is 1 square metre table (the size of a card table) and cut on the kitchen bench. Whenever anyone wants to eat something (and they always want to the minute I set up) I have to move everything. I also have to pack everything up and stack it just inside our bedroom door with the mat and rulers going on the floor under our bed. Well this is what I had been doing for the past 2 years , only the other week I got fed up and set up my sewing machine in a corner of the lounge in our under construction house next door to the cottage. Had hubby reinforce one of the trestle tables so I could cut on it and set it up at right angles to the sewing machine table. Monday I sewed a pocket in some table protector cloth which I had bought and he hung it against the bedroom wall frame facing in to the lounge so I now have a design wall set up as well. I made a cover for my sewing machine/table and use a table cloth to cover the cutting table. Am so very happy to be able to leave it all out in place for the next time I decide I want to sew. Of course I know I will eventually have to move it all again once we start rebuilding but hey, for now it is great. :lol:
