Sky light are great for light source, but sometimes you just want to see what's outside. I would put in at least one small strategically placed window. I have worked in places without windows and did not like the 'cave' affect. Maybe a window in the door?

The only thing I would be afraid of putting things in a "Storage Shed" is the critters that can chew through plastic containers and destroy your material?

I think you will need a larger shed. By the time you put shelves in for your fabric and your quilting frame, you will not have much room to move around in.

Nope! Not big enough. I had a nurse comrade at the hospital where I worked who ended up buying a WHOLE house next door to house her long arm, stash, work space... Well, that's a bit much, but I think if you collect any stash at all, organizing supplies, and having enough room to work, the small shed would be insufficient. Of course, if you are ridiculously organized, and have no UFO'S to speak of, then it may work. Wouldn't for me, though! (29 UFO's...yikes!)

I would say go as large as you can afford. I could fill the one you are looking at with just fabric and books.

i would go 24 by 24 i have 4 machines and also a long arm and that is in a different room. that way incase someday you get a long arm and more machines they would all fit and lots of storage. i dont have one but that is my dream.

I have a storage shed, we call it my attic. I keep my fabric in the house. The things I do keep out in the shed I put a dryer sheet in each tub. It doesn't keep bugs out, but it kills them before they can do any damage.

I have a ten room house and still got the 12' x 36' shed. We put a wall up to make a 12' 24' and a 12' x 12' space. The larger became my workroom for my miniatures and the small space for storage. Have had it for 15 years. It's gone thru rain, a hurricane, a hail storm and is still going strong. In Florida, I had to put a ventilator fan in one end of the work room. Outside temps 65 and up are okay, but anything over 80 is too hot to work. This was one of the best investments I ever made besides DH.

if you plan to get a long arm you will need a large size. Plan for at least 3 feet all around the table you want for space, plus addditional for storage.
