I have an idea! (no jokes please)
Have a table built in so she has a place to fold clothes and can use as a sewing table! Keep the machine below the table until needed.
I think most of the ladies need the sewing machine to make their curtains and valences etc. Most of us have no nice place to do this!
You could also build some shelves above it for storage!
*slapping hands together* NEXT!
