Becky's Craft-love your set-up-I see we have the same bird/jungle fabrics-love your wooden thread chest. I bow to anyone that set up & sew in very small areas...I would have a really hard with it.

Okay, I no longer have a camper, but a cute/funny story. My husband and I were driving on a road trip in our car, when I saw a motorhome next to us. The woman in the passenger seat had a small sewing machine and she was SEWING while her husband was driving. I about lost it I was geeking out so much. Needless to say, when we pulled into a gas station and saw them, I had to go over. She invited me in and I couldn't believe how well organized she had her sewing stuff. She said she gets lots of looks while doing it in the coach, but I was just so impressed. Oh...her seams are still MUCH better than mine. Even while she was moving! :)
That is dedication!!

Can you tell me the name of the chair from Ikea? I'm looking for a new one for my sewing space. Thanks!

I wish I knew the name, but I don't remember. It is just a really lightweight white chair with a fabric mesh seat and back, also white. It isn't a sturdy chair that I would want to use for hours and hours though.

We removed the couch from our trailer. So I sew looking out the back window. Stops people from wanting to stay overnight. If we have grandkids or something we will get an air mattress.

It's long enough to put small cutting/ironing board beside my machine and I don't have to move anything for meals. Any company understands my mess. I use the.couch to set on. Happy quiltcamping.

I have seen those coffee tables and wondered if they'd hold the weight of a light wt. sewing machine and be large enough. It looks like there is a little storage underneath too. Thanks for confirming it can be done.

Red stilettoes, that is a funny story. She was very nice to welcome you aboard. Aren't quilters the nicest people?

Quilterfay, that's not a bad idea. But, I kinda like a couch, however; if I had to choose, I might give it up. LOL

Thanks anyway! I'll just have to sacrifice and squeeze in a trip there...wink,wink.

I had boxes that I cut handle holes in, full of material and slipped those under couch. I kept sewing machine under bed.
I sewed at the chair with the small table that held my machine or at the kitchen table sometimes. Worked well for me.
