We are living in a "temporary" trailer while we are waiting to build a house on the land we bought last year. So, because the whole trailer is the size of a postage stamp, (and holds heat about as well as a postage stamp would too...)I sew at the dining room table. I have already ruined one cutting mat due to this...but, it will be worth it in the end. My husband regularly talks about the craft room he is going to build me in our house. He is insistant that someday I will have a long arm and I need to have a room big enough to accommodate that! Who needs a master bedroom???
