I like things neat, but I usually have several things going on at the same time so I have piles of stuff all over. My room is just too small! In a couple weeks my new big room will be ready and I'm hoping to keep things more neat and organized.

I'm all or nothing. It's neat as a pin or neck deep. I clean up and organize after I've finished a large project but sometimes have several going at once so things get away from me.
you are not a fusspot -lol. You sound like you like things neat-tidy and organized. Something that is a big wish for most of us.
I keep my space neat and tidy too. Can't work in a messy space. I have bins for projects and I have a little craft caddy thing that I keep all my frequently used notions and tools in, so they are sitting out right where I need them, but not all over the place. All my fabric is on boards in rubbermaid totes and everything has a place.

I'm the same! I have all the necessary tools I'll need right next to my machine. They're on a flat tray (cover of a large shoe box) with a cloth liner so I can spot whatever I need right away. I have to have it neat when I start out sewing and then when I end it for the time being I straighten up. All fabric is sorted, and other extras are organized. Not saying all should work this way, but it's better for me.Originally Posted by Vitality
Hello from Shenandoah Valley, VA. Quilting a few years. Love the process of creating the quilt top, but don't like making the sandwich of top, batting and backing as much. We have two Labrador Retrievers, a yellow and a chocolate. Blessings to all!
Can you come to my house? I spent last year working so many hours I ended up sick & spent two days in the hospital. Now as I look around my house & especially my sewing room/studio I really understand how long I was sick and how much i let things go. I can't find anything. Ii'd love too be nice and neat again.
Creative clutter is more blessed than tidy idleness.

I find I'm more productive when things are put away and organized. With that said, when I get going it looks like a fabric factory blew up in there. It's a no-win, constantly organizing situation.

I like neat and tidy too---Just never seems to stay that way LOL I don't put anything away until the top is done, I always have to go drag some thing again if I do, but fabric is neatly stacked at the end of counter templates, or anything else needed kept I small basket when I am not in the room If I don't do this and throw a sheet over all fabric my sewing partner just can't resist checking it out. LOL
I like neat and tidy, too, but can't seem to manage it.
My sewing stuff is in different rooms in a small 3 bedroom house. My sewing machine (in cabinet) is in the master bedroom, along with a small--very small--Sterlite drawer unit that holds thread, needles, pins, other supplies, and my rulers and rotary cutters are in a plastic holder bag hanging on the the back of the bedroom door. My fabric (stash) and batting is in the closet of the guest room. I also have boxes of miscellaneous sewing supplies, etc. in a hall closet. I cut on the table in the dining area and set up my ironing board in that area, too. All three rooms usually show evidence of my current project. But I do tidy up between projects, and more often if something is taking too long to finish and I can't stand the mess any longer, or company is expected. I'd love a dedicated sewing room but can't sacrifice the guest room (need a space for grandkids when they stay overnight).
