I've been sewing on the dining room table since May when I got the new kitty and that was his safe room (rather than the usual, just a place where a puss occasionally went to use the litter tray). I've got three machines on the table (one could go but it hasn't got proper covering and liable to the possibility of tinkering). Two sewing bags on the floor when I'm sewing, the usual accoutrements of pin box, plus another Prym click box (which is wonderful), and other bits of rubbish that come in this time of year because of Christmas on the other end of the table.
It was a novelty at first but after this length of time (I went back about six weeks ago but puss wanted to be around so gave in), it's become a bit of nuisance. I've now got to the stage where I really need a nice open space to lay things down, a sewing machine with a bit more muscle, my proper ironing board and my little lady to use for draping and so forth. The last few weeks I've just been tinkering with easy bits. I'm on the last few bits but I can't seem to concentrate, do I have a back vent or not and even more so, could I do a proper tailored back vent.
It has made me really appreciate my sewing space and I don't envy anyone who doesn't have the space for a dedicated sewing area. I take my hat off to you, I'm just a spoiled moaner.
So I think I'm going to leave the few bits left until the New Year and study a few videos on the tailored vent.
