CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so envious. We recently moved from our 3-bedroom home of 33 years to a two bedroom apartment. Talk about adjustments. I had my sewing table up against the wall so that when I was machine quilting the quilt would not fall over the back of the table and cause the quilt to drag when quilting. I really miss it, it was only 10x12 but I had a table for my sewing machine with an area to the left for cutting and to the right I had the ironing board set up with a window where I could see outside. I don't stand to cut, because of back problems, so everything is at the same level. Now I have a corner set up in my bedroom, but I can look out the window. I miss having space to have my ironing board set up all the time, but I have a small, portable ironing surface and when I have to iron large pieces, I set the ironing board up in the dining room where I can watch my taped shows and still iron - it goes much faster that way. Good luck with your new sewing room, even if it is much smaller than your husband's room. Enjoy every minute you spend in there.
