I don't clean up much. All my sewing is done on the dining table where we eat. I just move it all down to the very end to set the table to eat. My machine goes onto the floor to make room for everyone.
The only time I do clean up is when my hubby starts threatening to throw my stuff away (the war is on). Then I just move it all to our bedroom. It drives him crazy because he is a neat freak and I an not.
