I use the overhead storage above our bed and also utilize the space under the bed. Hand quilt in my chair and cut out on my table. Not much space to work with but you can do it. We took out our couch to and put in a recliner for me and the space behind it will store lots of stuff. Sewing machine goes in the closet floor and then to the table when needed. Where there is a will there is a way. Good luck.
