I don't sew in my "sewing room". I have my cutting board, fabric neatly stored, a quilt rack and all my small tools for quilting etc. in there. But the one thing I really need for sewing is not in there. I love natural light and the end of my family room has a nice large window to let the sun into and this is where I love to sew. Since my DH passed away I have the whole house to myself so I can really get into the sewing mood and only stop when I want to stop. That window makes a world of difference for me. Sunshine is so wonderful for keeping a person in a good mood.
