^^^ This link shows my sewing "nook". It's in the corner of my dining room. I keep supplies in my hutch and some large picnic baskets in the area... I also keep fabric in plastic buckets in my bedroom. Hope this gives you some ideas. It doesn't take a HUGE amount of space to quit off the kitchen table.
