One thing that might help is to get one of those exercise balls and use it instead of a chair. I learned this from my brother-in-law who works all day in an office at a computer. It encourages you to have small movements in your back and strengthens your core muscles (the ones that support your spine).
Get one size larger than would be recommended for excercise to put you at the correct height for sewing, computer, etc.
