I want to upcycle my clothes but have a problem

I know how to sew, and I had a sewing machine. However, my sewing machine broke a while ago.  That's not my main problem because I did get a new one that I share with my grandma, that recently moved in with us. However, with the new sewing machine my mom forced me to start a tailoring business with my grandma. I don't really do anything in the business because I didn't even want to be in the business in the first place. The sewing machine is now in a part of my living room so, even if I wanted to sew, I wouldn't have any privacy. If I were to sew out there it would be like when someone comes into the kitchen while you're cooking. Also as soon as I sit infront of that sewing machine my mom is going to bother me about the business i did not want to be a part of.
