I see what your problem is! Someone is trying to put a Dinning room in your sewing space!Otherwise known as ; not enough space....LOL, Mine tends to look like that also, except my mess stays on top of the work area , I just push it to the back, until I get up then I sweep it off into the trash, except for the stuff that I have ( purposely) stuck to the front of my clothing to take into another part of the house, or... sometimes to the store, resturant, where ever.....
