My sewing room is 4x12 section in my closet off the great room. There is no way I'm going to the basement nor upstairs in the spare bedroom. I want to be there with everyone else, near the stove to fix dinner and near the front and back door. I don't believe I would sew as much because I wouldn't leave my family to go sew. I do spill out into the great room at times, but after all, it's my house.
