    Hi, I straighten my sewing room almost every time I use it. As soon as I start my project(s), it seems to look like a tornado hit it. I can't seem to keep it straighten up. Any suggestions? Or do I just live with it and this is the way it goes. How do I stay organized?

    Yes please let us all know when you discover the magically clean sewing room. It is like the rest of the house- it stays clean if you don't USE it.

    If there's a way to keep it neat and clean when I'm working on a project, I haven't found it! And since I'm always working on something, you can imagine what my sewing room always looks like!

    My sewing machine is in the livingroom and it always has a project spread around! My friends don't come to see my house, they come to see me. Most of my friends want to see what I'm working on. I do put my machines etc. away for holidays.

    My son walked in once when I was REALLY busy with a scrap quilt. I sort of mentioned the mess and cleaning up later, for next Christmas, maybe . He recommended dynamite with a little of TNT. I threw him out, not to mess with my strings..

    My friends know that if they ever come over and don't see something scattered, then there is something wrong with me.

    So is mine, but it's just me and the cat. As long as she can find her food bowl, she doesn't complain.
