I recently treated myself to a better chair with a good lumbar support and my sewing area is set up in almost a square so all I have to do is "wheel" myself around to whatever I need (sewing machine on one side - next ironing table - behind serger - other side work table). I have just enough space to walk out of that work area but it works for me. My cutting table (with my bar stool) and fabric are in the other bedroom. The bar stool has really helped to relieve my back pain when I have a lot to cut. I cut the long cuts standing up, then do the sub-cuts sitting down.....HUGE difference in how my back feels.
This setup is really close to mine I have counter tops with sewing machine at the right height on one side Iron setup on the right side Serger on the left and cutting table on the fourth side set up higher than than my sewing and ironing sides with windows on three sides for light DH also put in shop lights with the sunlight bulbs on all sides
