Wishing I could have the rooms you have been blessed with. Today I sewed in the dining room as usual, stopped to make the kids breakfast and lunch (since I didn't have to walk far) went back to sewing then washed dishes. I have no space for anything and my rolly cart gets pushed into my closet when not in use. My iron board is between the table and counter in which if I turn the wrong way I will get burned. I keep praying for a larger house, but I don't have an answer yet. OK, I've aired off, but seriously I hope you are making good use of going up, as in taller bookcases, for your fabrics.

Do I really want to know why there is a machine in your bathroom? :shock:

No place else to put it. I won't get rid of it. :-D

I also have four rooms upstairs and a bath that are all mine. My DH calls it the sewing suite. Don't know what I'll do if we ever downsize.

I sew on a tray table that stops traffic-flow & fabrics are surrounding my recliner base & in a tub in DH Bike Barn. If he ever works on the bike again to get it running, I'll be tossed out of there. I'm living on borrowed time... LOL

Our house has almost 2000 square feet on each floor. The basement is a laundry room, dh's RC room my art room and full. The first floor is where we live plus sew in the winter and it's full. The second floor is my actual sewing room---full but I also have a couple of beds for when we have guests. No closet space available, no dresser space available, no space available. The attic is the same size but it's my dh's domain as is the 2 1/2 car garage. He stays out of my upstairs and I stay out of his spaces. I promised myself that I wouldn't buy any fabric this year but I bought about 3 yds NYsDay.

I don't have a sewing room and can't image that much fabric.
Most of mine is in the attic and I have to go searching (or shopping) when I want to start a new project. My goal is to use it up before I die, so I only buy what I need.
My office is where the sewing machine is as well as the TV and the sofa. So sometimes I am asked to stop sewing during the movie (the family can't hear the actors).
But I switch from working to sewing when there is time while waiting for a file to download or for software to open.
I multi-task a lot. :)

For years I was using our dinning table for sewing and cutting. One day I cleared everything out and set the table for a really nice dinner, my husband looks at me and looks at the table and says "Its been so long since I seen our table I forgot we had one" lol
