I have to sew on the kitchen table so I have to clean up and put things away every day. I have a cabnet that I put everything in at the end of the day. Can't say it is always in perfectly organized shape.

Since it is MY room, I only do the tidy up thing on demand.......like when I have too much on the table to handle cutting out more.

My sewing area is in my family room so I close up the sewing table desk I just got two weeks ago (Sauder Craft table from Walmart - beautiful) to where it looks like a piece of furniture every night, but then again, I'm a neatnick. I hate the look of clutter! I'd make a lousy hoarder.

when it comes to things that are up to me, i do as i prefer.

i don't clean up until i feel like it.

i rarely feel like it. :lol:

a slob by any other name is BarbaraSue! I agree with the rest of this.
My sewing "room" is the loft in my great room, so it is with the family but out of the way. Seeing it is by invitation. I rarely invite without giving the condition --it's mess, but it's my mess. I haven't even let my cleaning lady in it becuase I'd have to clean it first! I did find the end of my cutting table finally, and with some reogranizing I had a place for books and Magazines. Still trying to organize scraps, and bags we get from shop hops and quilt stores even the cloth ones. :-o

Definitely part of the slob club.

I knock everything on the floor and only pick them up when there is enough to justify bending over.

My fabric is in piles until I cannot find what I'm looking for. Then I sigh, fold, and put most of it away, grudgingly.

Vacuuming? Maybe after I've tidied up because there may not be another chance for a few months........

Too many fantastic things to do keep it all in order.

My sewing room stays messy until I just can't stand it any more. Then I find it almost overwhelming and don't know where to start. Yes I am a SLOB! (in my sewing room that is)

That is why I have a space for my sewing. Just so I can pick up where I left off without having to try and remember where that was!!

On occasion I will leave it to the next time, but for the most part I'm one of the people that tidy up.

I have a craft room for rubber stamping but I sew in the dining room and only if it is going to see company does it get cleaned up. I want to have doors put on it, so when you open the front door you cant see it. Which gives me the idea to go looking for a expandable door (can't think what you call them). Right now I am behind in some sewing so things are really a mess and perhaps if I cleaned up, I would feel better about it. - Joan

Ah, wondering if I am a true quilter. At the end of the day, I put everything away and make sure the floor is clean. Even though I have a separate seewing room for myself, I like to go into the room the next day to find everything where it should be. Crazy, I know!
