Wen I finished the basement in this house, I set up the sewing studio for messy me! I have stained concrete floors - they look great and clean easily. I have a Dyson with a sweep bar that can be turned on or off; I never turn it on. I have small trash cans from Ikea next to ever machine. They help with the snippets, but I still get threads from the fabrics all over me (I really should make a sewing apron!). I have lots of storage, but my biggest problem is putting away the items from the last project before I start the next one. Like a PP, I end up with a stack of scraps from three or four projects, pushed to the side of the cutting table. When it falls on me, it is time to sort :-)
