My sewing room in in the basement and I LOVE IT. I dont have to pick up everything when I quit for the day, its a big enough space (24 X 25) that I have several machines set up, including a longarm, and lots of room for shelving and fabric. I run a dehumidifier in summer when its needed, in winter there is heat. Its a partially finished basement , with phone, tv, computer and anything else I need or want.
