I live by myself and have my sewing machine table and ironing board in the living room so I can watch TV while sewing! The sewing machine table is in front of a big south facing window with a swing arm lamp for nite sewing. :lol:
I do have a room that was to be the sewing room, and the cutting table is in the middle of the room and the walls are lined with shelves full of fabric. Alas, the table there is also full of fabric! :( So I can't use it for cutting at present.
I do have tubs that are full of fabric as well! And whenever I put something away, that is what I want! So things don't stay put away! And if I knew where away was, I would put more things away.
I also have a big piece of styrofoam board that I hung on a wall in the living room with a big piece of flannel backed table cloth hung on it that works just fine for my design wall!
I LOVE LIVING in my living room!
