• Sufficient light, either natural or by the use of halogen lighting.
• Plenty of room to maneuver.
• Space to lay and cut.
• Storage – your fabrics, notions and threads have to go somewhere.
• Somewhere for your body form to live

• Your budget.
• You may need to think about your flooring, e.g. strength.
• Seating – Investment in a good quality Swivel chair to aid posture.
