The right side of my sewing machine is very important to me. Instead of listing everything, I am going to post a couple of photos of my workspace. First of all, I am using an antique library table for my sewing table. It is 72 L x 30 w. It also has 4 small drawers on each long side. I can only access 3 drawers. The 3rd photo is a pic of my ironing board with a black plastic bag covering it; it is lowered to the height of my sewing machine so that I can put the weight of my quilt on it while FMQ. I am very messy as you can see. However, I have everything at my fingertips; my thread, my iron, my scissors, my tweezers etc. etc. etc.

A light, a magnetic pin bowl, pincushion on an old spool, and of course a coaster, that usually holds my coffee cup.
I have about 18" and would miss those inches if they were not there.
There are 18" drawers below that counter

My desk is next to my sewing table. Occasionally, I have my little scissors over there.

I have a basket with tweezers (for that piece of thread I can't pull from under the presser foot because my fingers get in the way LOL), a small pair of scissors, clips, pins and a seam ripper.

I also just have a little space to the right, so I have a little clear plastic tray with a seam ripper, thread nippers, various little things like pins or whatever I put down while sewing. I have a chest of drawers to the right of my machine, so the drawer at table height holds machine accessory box, pressed feet and the manual for the machine which I refer to often! I started using the little tray so I can quickly put it out of reach when my DGDs come to visit.

Anything I want. My room has a laminate floor. I put the self stick felt chair covers under all my machine table legs and cutting table legs. I have 2 tables 30w x 5ft and 4 machines in tables. I just push the tables and machines around where ever I want them. My husband laughs when he comes in the room and I've got myself blocked in. But I would love to have my 15-91 dropped into a large table. Unfortunately I married handsome not handy so I envy you gals who have Dh that can do that stuff.
