How does one keep a small room (sewing) clean

[homemaker carol]

I get mine cleaned up and within one day, it looks like a disaster hit it again. There is material everywhere (that I've cut), threads on the floor that have missed the garbage can, etc. etc.

Because its so small, I don't have a lot of room for anything extra, like cupboards.

HELP!

I use those big underbed lidded plastic containers from Wal Mart. It is great for storing clothes or craft stuff. You can put unused things under beds.

Have the same problem CJ, I figure it will only look good from one cleaning until the next time I walk in there! :D

Dee I guess it just means we really are working in there, right!!

You should see mine now. UGH!!

Do you have a door to the room? If so, you're one step ahead of me! Mine is right out in the open, and if I don't clean after I'm done working, it is a mess for all to see!

Is it a matter of finding storage solutions? Like putting things on the wall to eliminate some clutter (e.g. thread racks, shelving), or is it a matter of stopping just before you HAVE to leave the room to tidy up a bit?

Is it possible to put in wall shelves? They can look tasteful and solve your problem
