It's in mid-90s where I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. My quilting room has no window A/C so I just bring my machine, iron, portable cutting board and project and take over the kitchen table where there is a great window AC. Although it cools down nicely at night through early morning, I've already got everything set up in the kitchen and besides, I often don't feel well in am. Luckily, our heat spells don't last too many days. During the hot daytime, it also helps to cool off in the pool (at our senior mobile home park's clubhouse). I get some exercise and just leave my hair wet and, since nobody ever visits without calling me first, I sometimes just leave my damp bathing suit on when I start sewing! If you do not have a pool to walk to, try the shower, dress cool and leave your hair wet. Now, if I had no A/C, no fans, no pool, no sprinkler or outside hose, and no shower (poor me!), I would not be doing anything except reading, with wet cloths all over me.
