Instead of just windows how about a skylight over your sewing area?
I would put a countertop all along the 1/2 wall with one section low enough for the sewing machine. Than put cabinets underneath with drawers and doors. I don't know how tall you are but this would be for me (5.5 tall) about the right height for cutting and working. Or instead of cabinets use roll out bins and drawers for ease of finding stuff. Use clear storage that you can see thru.
