I have my main sewing room in the basement. It is in the largest room in the house. It is a love/hate relationship. I love that when I am sewing in there I don't usually get bothered by people a whole lot. I hate that the windows are smaller and I lose more of the natuaral light. I have two smaller dogs and if I don't make them go to the sewing room with me then I have to constantly check on them. I also have a large sewing desk and area upstairs so that I can quilt while MIL is awake. (I am her caregiver and need to be upstairs with her when she is awake.)
