I live in a 5th Wheel camper so my sewing area is my recliner with a Gidget I table & my sewing machine right in front of me at all times. My small scissors, marking pencils, small 6" rulers and seam ripper are in an old coffee mug to the right of my machine. Larger scissors, small templates and a bag with my machine binding tool hang from S hooks off the curtain rod beside my recliner. Behind my chair is a wall unit with my wooden sewing box & my library of quilt books. My fabric is stored in my bedroom closet in bins. Small spaces just require more organization. :-)
