Why is it I spend so much more time cleaning and straightening out my sewing room than actually making something? It seems like I have to clean it up before I start any project. Sometimes I have to clean it and Im not even going to sew. It takes so much time to find places for all the "stuff" I drag in. Need some good ideas to fix this. :oops: :roll:

Dont drag anymore stuff in and you will only have to clean and straighten from the work you do.

i just spent an hour cleaning up from the other day. I'm not going to sew until friday night at the earliest.

but it's all ready and waiting for me now - i cleaned it while the bf was making chili - the rooms are connected. otherwise i would have been in the living room by myself on the internet...

=)

This funny because I'm trying to straighten my sewing area pit but I think I'm making a bigger mess. I think it's time to offer out items I won't be using, maybe after Christmas.

Sometimes i clean it up so i can get going on the next project. Just looking at all the fabric makes me want to get sewing!

God has blessed me with the ability to look without seeing. Dust? what dust? stuff stacked every where. I don't see any stacked stuff. Dirty dishes, Where? Trust me I don't clean up between projects!:)

I keep all quilting projects, materials, supplies etc. in clear labeled bins. These are all stacked on shelves in the basement. When I start a project I gather all the needed supplies put them in a bin and that is the only bin that is in my very small sewing room. I take a few minutes at the end of the day to clean up so I am ready to begin work the next day.
