Before the kids left home I sewed in my laundry room and that was fine, then the kids all moved out I said to my DH I will take all my sewing up to the spare bedrooms (2 of them) and he said NO. We never use the dining room except on Christmas so why don't you just put your machine on the dining room table and sew there. So it have been there ever since. He then had cupboards built in my laundry to put all my fabric etc in. Then I started buying those plastic drawers from Walmart to catch the over flow. LOL . My laundry room is right off the dining room so everything works fine. We rarely have any company except family and they know I spend my days sewing. Marge
