My home does not have any air conditioning. I will open my slider window which is right behind me, and open my inside garage door, which is right in front of me and I also turn on a ceiling fan. Have to be careful sometimes when cutting as fabric blows around. My ironing board is directly at the slider, so I get cooled off as I iron!

If your sewing area is in one room, you could purchase (new or used) a window air conditioner, just for that room, and use when needed. Otherwise, as most of the others have said, the overhead fan is an excellent choice. My sewing area at present is an 8' X 5' closet. I had my son put an overhead fan/lights in the closet! Has made a huge difference since our central system has no vent in the closet.

I know just what you're talking about! We have a free-standing fan blowing into the main area of our motorhome as the A/C is in the back & it just won't turn that corner like we'd hoped without the added assistance. I have to really practice my tossing scraps into the basket or they blow everywhere. Ironing is a real trip! LOL! Take your hand off that piece for just an instant & you're chasing it down the hallway! Sure keeps life interesting! LOL!

I have an upstairs studio, and it can get pretty hot in summer. I have a ceiling fan - three speeds. I also have an in-window air conditioner which I find I'm using more and more each summer. The ceiling fan works pretty well when it's not BOILING hot.
