Last week I made a lot of progress on cleaning the sewing room, but in the process it actually looks messier now than it did before I started cleaning.
I've decided that messiness is part of being a sewist. (Is sewist a word? It just looks so much better than sewer). For me, when it comes to sewing or crafting, messiness is reality.
Having arrived at this conclusion, does that mean I can sew now? Or do I have to wait until the room is completely cleaned and organized?

You can tell we are related! My theory is the same...one can not be truely a "sewist" or a painter if the table/room is not an organized mess! Besides it actually looks like you are accomplishing something even if you are debating what to sew/paint!
ReplyDeleteYou know...where you have a glazed look over your face contemplating the design/pattern? I get it all the time...good thing I have a designated room now to paint...as long as I keep the guitar side of the room clean! I say SEW ON!
I can't believe you're coming to the conclusion that mess is ok...after I'm gone! I think what's really happening is now you don't have me to blame for the mess, so suddenly it's ok. The mess is now the sign of a creative genus or something and it signals the beginning of more creativity.
ReplyDeleteAm I starting to sound like Heather?
I think sewist is a very good word, but normally the term seamstress is employed. =)
I miss sewing...
love you!

My sewing nook is trashed, too. I don't know why that seems to happen when I've got something going, but it does. Now I'm trying to decide...cut, clean, or mend..
ReplyDeleteI suspect 'cut' is going to win. ;)
My sewing room is cleaned up some!Cleaning some helps me feel organized to a small degree. And it allows me to put fabric on cutting table and cut out a new pattern.
ReplyDeleteSome clutter has always existed in my sewing area. I would not be able to sew for weeks if I totally cleaned up. Couldn't stand that.
Well, my sewing room is partially cleaned up. And no, Jessica...I'm not saying that mess is ok, just that it's a reality. Lol!
