I've set up in the hearth room end of my kitchen which is rather small so storage is a problem. I have my batting and a large amount of my fabrics upstairs in a large storage/linen room I designed when we built our house. Where I sew now is ok, but before I was sewing on the dining room table which is on the end of our living room -it was very comfortable there, large table work surface, right by big windows and French doors that are full glass, but what a mess to deal with when I needed the table for company. Just think of working out of 2 spaces as an opportunity for a little exercise you would normally not do.
