I sew in the dining room also, I have two spare bedrooms but hubby wanted me downstairs so here I am. lol I have a large sliding glass door that leads to the patio so good lighting. The laundry room is right off the dining room so my cupboards with fabric, ironing board and cuttingtable are all in there. We do not entertain so this is my space. Also the conputor is here too so my machine can hook up to the computor to down load my designs. Marge
