Sorry, I can't help you in the way you have asked.

However, when I am in a quandary such as this ... I start with graph paper
First making a to-scale drawing of the room, including all its nooks and crannies and idiosyncracies.
Also, be sure to mark electrical outlets, switches, windows, doors, closets, etc.

Then I make to-scale cutouts of what I want to put in there, no matter how big or small.

Now I am ready to play as to where things will go.
Be sure you allow for the space you need to move around things ...
For example, space for your chair to roll out from your sewing machine;
the space you need front/back/sides of your long arm; etc.

You may want to do vertical graph layouts too, to see what works on height allowances.

Keep in mind that no two rooms are the same, so the "rules" never really fit!!
You have to do what works for you and your lifestyle.


I did a major kitchen build in this fashion.
I was told by one kitchen designer/builder no-way it would work.
For some strange reason he did not get the job!
Instead, the people who got the job said, it was their job to hear me out, and help me perfect what I wanted. She listened, and totally "got" why I wanted things the way I wanted them to be. Yes, she helped me make some changes, but only to make it even better!!!

The same goes with your sewing room ..... figure out what works for you ...... and make it happen!

Have Fun with the planning process!
