Thank you!
P.S. It is not neccesary to fill all the above requirements...
I now have a sewing room I used to only dream about 40 years ago. I had heard of someone sewing in the bathroom because it was the biggest space available. Someone made a table that was lowered on pulleys over the bathtub and extended far enough to pull a chair up. I was floored by this description. I don't know where she put her fabric but her sewing machine was kept in its case on the bathroom closet floor. The door did have a lock on it. Since we ironed in the bathroom of a house we once lived in, it wasn't a stretch to imagine a retractable sewing table.
