It's the vacuum cleaner here! I usually use a shop vac to get the worst of it first.
When I was a little girl, we had to clean the threads out of the vacuum cleaner nearly every time it was used. My mother sewed all of our clothes, and my sister and I learned to sew at a very early age. We didn't have a sewing room, so we laid out the patterns on the livingroom floor and sewed at the kitchen table -- or even on the coffee table in the livingroom!
