Hello,
Well welcome to this board. There is so much to learn from this forum. Be sure to visit not only the main category but lots of others. There are tutorials on how to make lots of different items. pictures, classifieds etc.
You can sew anywhere in small area if you want to bad enough. Before we moved into our new house, 4 of us and 4 cats lived in a 900 square foot house. I sewed on a small writing desk and made twin size quilts for my boys. Sewing stuff had to be put away after each session.
I live in West Central Ohio about 2 hours west of Columbus.
