This is a great question, Katie. It's really made me think about my sewing room. It's 5' by 10' and I completely love it. It used to be a tiny entryway/porch that's been weatherized, has a window where the door used to be and is right off the kitchen where all the action is in my house. I've been downsizing my fabric stash so almost everything fits in there. I have to put my cutting mat on the kitchen table to use it but that's only three feet away. I will appreciate the space more now that I have thought about this.
