Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
Anyone Else make this big of a mess when sewing? sewing room pix
Heres what my sewing area looks like when I clean it up, this pic was taken a couple months ago, but I clean it up and it looks like this. Except I got another serger to replace my other one, that I sold..thats now on the table too.
I make a couple things for the kids....and it looks like this afterward!! what a mess!!! I can't find anything...pattern pieces everywhere, scraps..and I dread sorting it all out and cleaning it up everytime

Yup!!! I am a REALLY messy sewer! I get in a groove, and don't want to stop to clean it all up!
If I'm good, I'll keep the pattern envelope (or baggie if it's a tracing) right next to me so I can put the pieces back in ASAP. But I also have a box of patterns/pieces that everything tends to get thrown into if it doesn't get put away right away, and I sort through that 1x a month or so.
But yeah - I can totally relate!

OMG, I was TOTALLY going to post this same thing the other day! LOL I swear I can get my house totally clean, and then after completing something so simple as a skirt or whatever... my dining room looks like crap. Could be the fact that mommy puts on her blinders while the kids tear up the place, just so I can get a few moments of sewing in. But I also have all my sewing stuff all over the place. Fabric scraps and threads on the floor make it look even worse.
yep, that looks like my sewing room! Only I have stuff all over the floor too, and pattern pieces draped over everything I am the same way when I cook.
that's not a big mess! You haven't seen a big mess until you've seen me in action. I ain't takin' no pictures though!
We have the same sewing machine!
Oh cool, do you have the xtra feet that go w/ ur machine, I lost mine, that came w/ it, in our move last fall..now I'm looking for some of them to buy again..if u have xtra feet, did u buy them seperate..if so where? I could go back to Erica's where I bought my machine..but I was hoping to find some used..any suggestions? thanks
That loooks way neater than my sewing space I have a sewing cabinet in the corner of the dining room. We live in a smart apartment so I'm crammed in a corner. The dining table is right behind me. So my stuff is all over the sewing table, all over the floor, all over the dining table. Threads following me wherever I go.

Your sewing mess looks familiar!!! I make a HUGE mess when sewing. Unfortunately, my sewing area is my dining room so it's open and visible to all and a real pain to get set up and put away (fabric is stored in crummy basement, notions in a cabinet in dining room, machines on floor within reach of curious toddler fingers.....aaarrrgggh!). I long for a sewing area of my own with my machines always ready for use and fabric & iron within easy reach.....sigh.....

I had to show this thread to dh..we have had a running argument lately that it is VERY COMMON for sewing mamas to have that..uh..scene in their work area! He still doesn't believe me...just to pi** me off..
