I have had 3 surgeries on my shoulders. I did need to take a little time off but I figured out how to sew on the machine and even cut fabrics while wearing my sling. Ergonomics really plays in here. Get your machine at the right level. Use your bad arm to just direct fabric feeding into the machine. Thread the machine and all other "movement intensive" things with your good arm. It was tricky when my right arm (twice) was the one in the sling, as I am right handed. I had my DH help with any folding needed doing. Use your good arm for any pressing. Be really careful not to use the bad arm too much. You will pay for that!
Because mine were planned surgeries, I was able to get a few things done ahead of time that would have been much more difficult. Be careful and keep that arm close to your body, move your body to get in position not the arm.
I hope your heal quickly and fully.
