Sewing Room Nightmares

My sewing room looks like a battle zone or a hoarder’s nightmare on a good day. Over the weekend I did manage to tidy it up, but it still looks like Godzilla went through it. I hear other sewists say they can’t sew in a disorganized space and I have to agree. I find I can’t sew unless my room is somewhat cleaned up. Are you like me where having disorder ruins the creative process?

Jennifer Paganelli’s lovely studio.

My space is small, but I sure can cram a lot in there. A lot. The trouble is, if I can’t see the fabric, notions or other items, I won’t use it. There is no way I can remember all that I have, let alone where it is. If it’s out and visible, there’s a far greater chance I’ll be using it. So, the solution is that I need a bigger space to hold my hobby, right?

Tell me what your space is like, or send me a photo. Is it super scary? Do you tidy up after sewing? What about your ironing board? Mine turns into a catch-all. Does your space look like the photo above? Lucky you!

And, just to show that even professionals like Jennifer Paganelli of Sis Boom know how difficult it is to tame that fabric tiger, check out her ‘Before’ photo. Makes me feel a whole lot better!
