I have sewn nearly everywhere in my homes over time. I liked being where the kids were when they were little. I hated the mess and having to pick up and put it all away though. Now I have a real sewing room that is mine, all mine, and I could not be happier. My kids are grown and out of the house, so it is just the two of us now. I can go in there and create and my husband can watch his tv when he is home. He works nights so he sleeps days and the sewing machine would drive him crazy. My room is now on the opposite side of the house, so that works well for us.
