Let's just admit to 'several' and leave it at that! :D

If you keep the duplicates in different rooms, it isn't quite so
obvious........

I don't have a clue how to respond to each of you so will try just
replying to the last entry.
I have limited space at the moment since our oldest (baby due in June)
and our youngest (w/ our 21 month grandaughter) have returned home for
a bit so I'll have to be clearing up after each use. A bit of a pain
but I'll make it work.
I'm not going out looking until the weekend but will continue my
research before that trip.
Thanks for all of the input and for the wonderful humor. It's always
nice to start the day with a grin and a chuckle!
Cheers,
Pamela

Think seriously about an older pre-loved machine in a cabinet! You'd
have storage for the sewing kit and current project all close to hand in
a neat bit of furniture that could be close up out of eye's view and the
way of little fingers. baby locks could be fitted if no locks existed...
Try to put a baby gate between you and the 21 month old when you are
sewing: that way they can SEE and HEAR you while being safe. I did this
when I had to sew in the kitchen/dining room: James could see and hear
me and I him, but we could both get on with our hobbies (me sewing, him
making a great project from Duplo or Playmobil), and we met at the gate
regularly for kisses and cuddles. He had the whole (baby safe) living
room to play in, and we could have a game together and eat together
without me having to put stuff away.
One time when this trick failed to operate properly he buttered his legs
(and the carpet!) with margarine, another time he rubbed banana into his
shins, and the third time he made a 'sammich' with the baby changing mat
and Sudocrem nappy cream... I learned my lesson! Luckily no sewing was
accessible at any of these times!
