What an interesting thread. I love seeing other peoples sewing rooms. The great thing is when you see a quilt no one knows what state your room was in when you made it - they only see the beauty before their eyes. Quilters are amazing.

Just curious if I'm the only slob... :shock:

I just want to thank all you ladies for sharing. I love all the pics of your rooms. The before's are great 'cause they let me know I'm NOT 'the only one'....and the after's are great for showing off your organizational talents....lots of ideas there and they come in handy. I have two rooms for crafting/sewing. I hated having my first sr open for view because it always seemed to be in 'before' status. Then when I'd finally get tired of looking at the 'before', I'd get it all nice and 'after' looking. The problem with that is, that when it's 'after' mode it would take me about 2mos. (or longer) to get into the mood again for sewing. After all, it would take about 4-5 hrs. just to get it into 'after' mode. So my wonderful DH finally got around to making me a sr in the basement w/a 4X8' formica covered cutting table he made with big cubicles underneath; there are two shelving units he made for junk/stuff that flank the egress window with a board he painted and placed under the window between the two shelving units. I wanted this so I could cut material and make my 'mess' down there w/o having to clean up and make the room 'presentable' when I'd finish a project. (wellllll, maybe not too many projects get finished, but the mess is still there) When I figure out my camera I will be happy to share. For now, please don't stop posting pics...I luv'em!!

Right now it is a mess-I am sorting out fabric and found I had several of one fabric in different spots. I am trying to organize it and then keep it that way. LOL-
BTW-the tip on the comic book inserts to wind fabric is great-thanks-now my fabric at least stands up-even if I don't!!

Nope, you aren't alone. I have two rooms that look like a cyclone went through. I have 5 quilting friends that have seen it and one commented, "where do you find a place to sew?" I told her that is how it gets that way. I start a project and when I move on, that one gets put aside. Before you know it, there is nothing but as jumbled mess. Oh well, some day......maybe. I just want to be sewing and not spending all my time cleaning up! I am a hopeless messie.
