A Space for Sewing

      In Me and My Sewing Machine, by Kate Haxell, she explains that "you are going to need a sturdy table, a comfortable, straight-back chair and an iron and ironing board close by" (Haxell 20). In my home I used to use a little rickety table in my room but now I am using her advice and moved to the table downstairs. The table downstairs correlates with her description: a big area to hold sewing machine and supplies (Haxell 20).  Nearby I also have an ironing board with an iron in my laundry room. This makes it easier to get too now that its closer. These are just some of her tips when it comes to making a space for sewing.


Here is a picture of my table and chair behind it: (Sorry it is sideways)

Does anyone have a space in their house that would fit the simple guidelines of Kate Haxell's sewing area?
