I'm not really good at introductions, so let me jump in and show off my sewing room. (I mostly want this as proof that indeed it has been clean at least once.)
Yes, I call that clean. I have had that sewing machine for about 9 years. My grandparents gave it to me for Christmas one year. It purrs like a machine gun and breaks on a regular basis, but we have come to an understanding, she and I, and it's all working out quite well. I have been pretty awful at documenting most of my sewing projects, so hopefully I will get on that and be able to post something I have made soon!
