I'm so glad this topic was started. I have been wondering if there were any campers on the Board.

I lived in a 5th wheel for 5 years and stuffed patterns and fabric every where! Under the mstr bed, in the closet, in bins in the belly, just any place I could squeeze something in! Hardest part was taking it all out, sewing for a while, only to stop and put it all away. Sometimes I would set up in the dining area, sometimes in the mstr br. Good luck to you....won't be easy with 3 teenagers aboard. Maybe you should learn how to knit :-D Where will you be in Texas....I am in Georgetown

I have never stayed or lived in a camping trailer. My home isn't much large and I just use dining room table and whatever space I can find. Fast at making everything disappear when I need to. Good luck.

A few years ago I took a class called shoebox quilts. In it you cut out your pattern and put each row in a plastic bag and labeled them and kept them in a shoe box. I can't seem to find the website right now. Maybe someone else on here will know about it.

My husband and I with 2 cats 2 dogs have been full timiing since 2001 when he retired, we love travling, if you have a booth dining set use it for storing your sewing items, if you have a bed that has storage underneath it works great
I have my Janome sewing machine,I keep my fabric down to one tote I pick a pattern out than buy,kits are great to make up and I do like to buy them ,I have a big fishing box that I have all my notions in like cutters, threads,etc also hooks that you use to hang coffee cups from I have rulers hanging from them,it works you just have rethink how you sew from a house to a trailer or RV,,,,

Have you taken any trips at all in your new home yet? I think this would answer alot of your questions..
Since you are going to be pretty tight maybe it will be a good time to get some good pic's along the way and post them for us to see?

Check out this quilter who quilts in an 18-wheeler. A travel trailer should have more room than that. Fun video.
