Where's the Mess?

Let's face it, when you sew there are little strings and scraps of fabric and you need a little trash can close by.  Since my sewing machine is set up in my upstairs hallway I wanted to keep it as clean as I could and didn't want a small trash can sitting next to it.  So I found a solution that has worked great for me.  I took an empty tissue box and set it on the desk and drop all my strings and fabric and pattern scraps in there and no one can see it.  Love this solution!!
