No. But I like it and know where everything (well almost everything) is.

I am one of those people who feel that they must clean up after using the room, I do leave the projects that I am working on out but they are neatly stacked. I cannot work if there is too much mess.

I can't stand clutter so I try to keep mine at a minimum. I don't like anything on my table when I'm cutting out a quilt. At the moment there's a build up of 'stuff' but before I start my next project it will be cleared off and put away or thrown away. Thread and bobbins are always in their proper place. BTW if anything falls on the floor on of our dogs tends to eat it so that's another reason to keep things neat.

Inviting: sure, since my sewing area is my kitchen, how could it not be? Maybe not my current project but the food...... :)

Yes, I keep things cleaned since the room does dual duty and I don't like not being able to find things. Plus kitchen duty is the hubbys and I don't want to find my rotary cutter in the knife drawer :)

My living room floor in my design "wall" so I keep that room clean as well.

That way I find all my tools I need for the next project.

You and I would get along GREAT!! :thumbup:


My sewing room is your sewing room anytime.
I love to share.

Mine is my bedroom so I try and keep everything in it's place
even though I'd love to have my own sewing room to mess up
and not have to pick up each and every day. :D

I have an extra chair in my space for one of my bestest friends to sit in and visit. Only problem, I have to really clean more than just my room to let her see it.

Nope! My sewing room is chaos! It has our old bed, my sons old clothes, his old toys, two bookshelves, and then my sewing desk is kind of crammed into a corner! Right now I'm sewing on the dining room table because I can actually lay my quilt on the table!

So, I started a small project, pulling things out and "messing up" a little and I'm right back at home. Guess I love chaos......

Me too! if it's clean I can't work. My sewing room always feels inviting to me no matter how messy it gets.

I am so happy too see I not the only one that is this way :roll:

I have a quilting room but it is storage. I sew on the kitchen table. Hard to believe how much is stored under the table.

Your post is a nice reminder. Thanks.
