I sew at the kitchen table, cut on the counter, iron by going to the bedroom upstairs (good exercise) and hand sew in the livingroom. I have my fabric stored in the garage, and pantry. My diningroom holds my works in progress. As a retired person, I am happy being where others are so the extra bedrooms are an office, exercise room and guest sleeping room. Besides when company comes, it is a good excuse to clean up.
