Hi! I have hand sewn with friends and I have lugged my sewing machine, etcccccccccc.... around but I prefer to sew at home. When I finally get my car packed with everything I need, I feel like I am moving out. Then, lugging into wherever I am going to sew with friends or classmates and it's just too much. I have a hard time settling into a sewing mood, talk too much, feel odd about taking my shoes off and sewing...
I recently came home from sewing with a group of friends and told my DH that I don't think I am going to do that anymore. OR, 'if' I do I will just take my hand sewing with me. I just don't enjoy the packing, unpacking, repacking and then putting it all away when I get home. Maybe it is because of my age... who knows. :roll: :roll: :roll:
It IS encouraging beyond words in getting together with others to share and show what we each have been creating. I do always enjoy that. I learn sew much from others. Great question. Thanks~!
