I have to sew on the kitchen table so I have to clean up and put things away every day. I have a cabnet that I put everything in at the end of the day. Can't say it is always in perfectly organized shape.

My sewing area is in my family room so I close up the sewing table desk I just got two weeks ago (Sauder Craft table from Walmart - beautiful) to where it looks like a piece of furniture every night, but then again, I'm a neatnick. I hate the look of clutter! I'd make a lousy hoarder.

My sewing "room" is the loft in my great room, so it is with the family but out of the way. Seeing it is by invitation. I rarely invite without giving the condition --it's mess, but it's my mess. I haven't even let my cleaning lady in it becuase I'd have to clean it first! I did find the end of my cutting table finally, and with some reogranizing I had a place for books and Magazines. Still trying to organize scraps, and bags we get from shop hops and quilt stores even the cloth ones. :-o

Definitely part of the slob club.
I knock everything on the floor and only pick them up when there is enough to justify bending over.
My fabric is in piles until I cannot find what I'm looking for. Then I sigh, fold, and put most of it away, grudgingly.
Vacuuming? Maybe after I've tidied up because there may not be another chance for a few months........
Too many fantastic things to do keep it all in order.

I have a craft room for rubber stamping but I sew in the dining room and only if it is going to see company does it get cleaned up. I want to have doors put on it, so when you open the front door you cant see it. Which gives me the idea to go looking for a expandable door (can't think what you call them). Right now I am behind in some sewing so things are really a mess and perhaps if I cleaned up, I would feel better about it. - Joan

Ah, wondering if I am a true quilter. At the end of the day, I put everything away and make sure the floor is clean. Even though I have a separate seewing room for myself, I like to go into the room the next day to find everything where it should be. Crazy, I know!
