Well I understand completely. I do not have a sewing room, and so I just made the in-eat kitchen area my sewing room. We seldom sat down there for dinner, since our children are grown. We usually sit in the living room and enjoy dinner. We have done that for years now. So that area in the kitchen was wasted space. But it is not now. I have taken it over. When we have company we have a large table we set up in the living room (our living room is one of those large great rooms) and we all sit down there to eat. There would not be enough room in the kitchen to fit all our family anyway! So I have my sewing room, its right there in the kitchen!! And I have made it my own little sewing room : )
