Aren't sewing room supposed to be messy???? LOL Mine seems to stay that way most of the time,it becomes the dumping ground for anything that anyone doesn't know where to put it.

Amen, Kathi!

Susan, just look at the little darling and say sweetly, "I have a place for everything and everything is in its place."

Gotta give her credit for noticing both sides of the coin. She will also enter & say "Uhm! Looks like you've been cleaning since the last time I was here". Move a set of coasters or anything & she will notice. But ya'll know we love her to death.

What mine usually looks like

Here is a link that might be useful:

Just wish I had a whole room to devote to sewing! Mine is also the guest bedroom & it's a scramble to find a place to cram the mess into before company comes.

I could put 12" risers under the bed legs & stash more there...or quit buying fabric, but that's not likely! LOL.

Today I tried to organize some things in the sewing room, it hasn't worked, read an article about cleaning out the scrap bags,boxes, and starting over, but I can't let go of a lot of little pieces, they are my friends, when I am "blue" they comfort me, when I'm cold I guess I could sew them together and make a quilt, oh well, orginization is not for me, just wish I could find some of the stuff I missplaced. LOL Rene

DH can't understand how I can just throw threads and trimmed pieces on the floor. Poor dear is just too anal! I figure it's clean-up time whenever the project is done, not DURING, for Pete's sake!

Oh but how to part with some of the bits....I always start out good but then go and rummage around in the toss out can when I suddenly think of an idea to use my "bits" in.....this just happened to me yesterday when I tossed out some rainbow colored yarn/lace.....then I came across a small fan ornament I'd crocheted and thought...I'll just weave my bit of lace through that ....added color....*sigh* went into the garbage and "rescued" the other tiny bits I'd tossed. Messy sewing room??? Messy every room when I sew more like! Budster

I wrote about how I stashed my stuff (when I was a neat person) Iwould put things in the boxes and make a list of what was in the box and give that box a number. then I put tha list in my computer. Now to find something I don't really have to open each box. Just look at the list and find that numbered BOX
If you look at the photo again you can see some of the numbered boxes on top of the shelves.
Hope that helps someone.

So Minnie when are you coming to my house??? I'm not good at computor stuff,havn't a clue how to do some of the stuff you do on it.I just know how to go to message boards,read and write posts. LOL
By the way,my middle name is Minnie,does that encourage you to come???Really it is.

Rene,
I cracked up about the fabric comforting you. Once my grandfather asked Mother why she had so much fabric and she told him she only bought it when she felt sad/bad. He said "Don't guess you've been well/happy in a long time".
