So much love for this! Also ARGH, SO tiny. Have you seen the giant magnifying glass things you can put in front of your work to see better? Some of them have attached lights.
Also added cat hair is lucky. (That's what I always say when I find one in the paint/varnish/etc.)
I have seen those things - I'm not sure how suitable it would be as I don't have a specific sewing space. I tend to stitch in front of the TV of an evening so the only place to put a lamp is on the arm of the sofa. I have seen magnifiers you loop around your neck and which rest on your chest, but again, I'm not sitting properly so it may not work. I may invest in a pair of off-the-peg spectacles.
