I'm luckier than most, I have a room in our basement. The room isn't big enough for fabric storage, so I've moved that into the laundry area outside my room. Hubby did a great job in fixing it up for me.
When I'm spray basting, I move to the garage. I don't know what the smell will do to my bird, let alone me.
Before we moved to this house, I sewed on the kitchen table.
