Through the years I've sewn all over the house. We bought a 12 X 16 barn type storage building about 5 years ago for my sewing/canning room. Well, we wound up with a chest type freezer, a gas cook stove and my canning supplies along with my sewing machines. Gradually DH started putting some of his stuff in it until it became too crowded. So when I bought my short arm quilting machine with a 12 foot table we bought another storage building. This one came with insulation, it was a repo building and is a 12 X 20. I set my foot down about him putting some of his stuff in it. It's strictly for my sewing. But I still have two industrial sewing machines in the original building that I don't have room for in the newer building.
