At one time two kids came home and the only place I had was a wicker toped table with a pice of plastic over it and if you got to going it would start to bounce and had to put my bens in the bottom of our closet then would have to move shoes to get to the bens

I am raising a 6 year old grandson, and have neighbor children here a lot. My sewing area is in the laundry room.

Take a look at my quilting nook. It is 3'x9' down the side of our bedroom. The rack, surprisingly, holds 100 yards of fabric and over 200 fat quarters. the board on the bed is for cutting and ironing and stowes under the bed when not in use. It works. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-111744-1.htm

I used to sew on the kitchen table while the kids were napping. Kept everything in bags and had to put it all away when they woke up. I had 3 daughters in 3 years, so they all took a nap at the same time. Now I have a whole bedroom to myself and bought several storage units at Lowes. They hold a lot of fabric. Can't send a picture since I don't know how. Someday one of my kids will show me how to send pictures. I keep picturing you guys sewing in the bathroom and laughing. I can see you sitting on the toilet with your stash in the tub. Too funny.

DH and I have five kids, all stair-stepped in ages. We were finally able to buy a house big enough to fit in when the oldest was 15. We put them in the two downstairs bedrooms and gave them a two-room rec room as well. I started quilting at the dining room table, with a few totes of fabrics and notions. Then, my DH talked me into taking over the spare bedroom (guest bedroom).
When the oldest turned 19 (still at home and in college), MIL hubby passed and she broke her hip the same day. So, she came to live with us and all my sewing stuff moved into a wide hallway downstairs, in totes, many totes as I had "collected" more things, including furniture.
The night that my last son moved out after graduation, I had done the touch-up painting, DH put the baseboards down, and I cleaned the carpets. I had all my sewing stuff in there by morning. It kept growing and DH talked me into moving into the two room rec room....sweet....till I outgrew it. When DD moved out and into town, I took over that room (largest bedroom in the house 11x18). Now that I have outgrown it, I also have a sewing area (room) upstairs so that I can sew there when MIL is up (I am her caregiver).
DH totally spoils me with my quilting, but I spoil him too with his hobbies.
He's a keeper!!!

My sewing nook is the very small area that is supposed to the dining area in my small one bedroom apt. But it's pretty handy and I am glad to have it.

This is all I have; but I make the most of it and enjoy my space.

I'm LOL because I did sew in my bathroom. The BR was 6 x 12 and at the far end I had a place to put the old treadle I used as a base for my portable machine! It's been so long, but suppose I stored fabric in my laundry room, which was very cold in the winter, and very hot in the summer. But know I didn't have much fabric. I would remake old clothes for my DD everyday play dresses. Later when I got a new dining room and kitchen, I moved into the old kitchen, which was a 4 x 10 pantry. Big improvement, right? I did sew tons of clothes for our 4 kids--even their blue jeans. My kids were so skinny, couldn't find anything to fit them--Kwik Sew slim jeans to the rescue. Still have those patterns. Thanks for taking me down memory lane!

Well I like the idea of the bathroom. We actually have two so maybe I could just steal one away. Lock myself in and say I don't feel well -like for a week! I have a homemade table in a spare room but normally sit at the breakfast bar so I can converse with family and watch my favorite shows.

...and then the kids grow up and your heart aches for them to be under your wing again. LoL! We are funny people! :-D
