Do you want picures of me at the sewing machine? Or just the table and chair?

I think one of my problems is that I'm only 5' tall and it's difficult to find the right chair/desk height combo for sewing.

It has helped that I'm very careful about posture, sitting very straight, trying not to lean forward-but honestly that's really hard when you're sewing. If I do lean forward I try to do it from the waist and keep my shoulders down and the rest of the back straight and my abs activated.
