Since I work full time, I usually try to get in an hour between coming home and starting dinner. That is only on the nights I don't have to stop at the grocery store, dry cleaner, or other errands. At least once a month on Saturday or Sunday I usually take a day off from life and spend the whole day in the sewing room (referred to as the black hole by my family). I do lots of cutting then so the hour here and there can be spent sewing.
