I have a sewing studio that's right by our bedroom & so it isn't isolated. I have a TV & the whole 9 in there. But I still kinda like sewing on my kitchen table (tho it's a pain to have to drag my ironing board & everything out there). I do all my hand work laying in bed. Sometimes I sew on our screened in porch (mostly hand work). I like sewing in the living room (I plan to go out there & cut some fabric on my coffee table later today as a matter of fact). Plus *Mommy* not being secreted away in her sewing room makes my dog happy... LOL!
