I actually end up sewing more during the summer, because I don't have to stay in the house and tend the fire, and I go down to my sewing room a lot earlier, because it's not so frigging cold outside, even though I do leave the heater on low at night during the winter.

I may not do machining, but applique instead.

I sew more in the summer, since I'm out of school then.

I love to garden and play outside! Sewing goes way down in the summer

In the Spring I may sew less because I don't mind being outside working in the flower beds,but in the Summer when it gets hot I will be in the A.C for sure. :wink:

I sew a lot any time of the year. It was so hot here last year that it was best to stay inside and sew.

I sew the same year round. Our temperatures here are warmer during the summer but I have a fan in my sewing room. If it gets too hot in the house then the A/C goes on. I don't hand quilt so I don't have a warm quilt sitting on my lap. I send my quilts out to be quilted by a LA.

It probably works out to about the same. I don't quilt as much in Spring and Fall...but when the outside temp hits the 90's and above and the humidity is 100%....I'm inside sewing or reading.
