When you are sewing
 

What music do you listen too when you are working on your projects of love?

I always try to put something on while I'm sewing. It makes it all so much more enjoyable! I have a playlist downloaded that is made up of the following artists:
Alison Krauss and Union Station
Red Molly
Old Crow Medicine Show
Wood Brothers
Gillian Welch
Emmy Lou Harris
Wailin' Jennys
Doc Watson
Bill Monroe
(That's all that I can think of right now, but there's more.)

I also love putting on Pandora and listening to other genres s/a classical, Nora Jones, Christmas music, Grateful Dead, Jazz...the list goes on.

I stream Pandora in my sewing room. I have a station I've named "All Purpose Good Stuff" and I've tweaked it for so long it's an extremely eclectic mix of music from a pretty broad swath of genres. I look up songs I particularly like and it always seems that I only like the ONE song by that artist, so apparently I have a broad yet finicky taste in music. It's rare I buy a whole CD nowadays, I buy songs individually much more often.

My DH is a much bigger audiophile, I asked him what he would call "my type" of music. He says I mostly like "Instrumental Hip Hop", whatever that means. LOL

I don't usually listen to anything but the hum of my machine. It is music to my ears.:)

I listen to soft rock.

I listen to instrumentals -its soothing to my ears and I can still think while im working.

contemporary christian and southern gospel

It depends on my mood. But I have to have some sort of "background" noise going while I am in there.

So it is either watching one of my programs or a dvd on the tv. Or I just plug my iPod into my Bose and listen to music.

It must be how my brain is wired.......Even while reading I need "background" noise to concentrate.

classic rock and roll!

Classic rock and roll, Adele, I love her! Roy Orbison, the Beatles, Dixie Chicks, Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel and sometimes,,,,nothing at all but the machine.

DirectV New Age or symphony music channels.

I generally have the TV on mostly for 'background noise' as well. If it's a program I want to 'see', I do my cutting/pressing while the show is active and do my actual sewing during commercials. I just never think to put on music.

The Monkees. My favorite group of all time.

During the holidays, I listened to the old-fashioned Christmas music. Sometimes I'll listen to a pop music station. Usually, though, I prefer quiet.

I usually listen to audio books. On the occasion I listen to music it is Elvis!

I listened to Christmas music during the holidays too! I've also been listening to some of the craftsy classes I purchased. Fun to have someone talk about quilting while I'm quilting away! Sometimes I forget to put on music, I should really try and remember to do so because then I won't get into 'worrying' about some crazy thing!

soft rock or talk radio. I need background noise. keeps me going.

I have a couple of classical stations that I listen too, or a big band/singers music from the 40's.

No music, just like the quiet "think" time.

Me too I hate silence my mind gets into to much trouble.......I rarely have music on while sewing it's usually t.v with shows I have seen, I don't have to watch I can just listen it's like old friends telling stories in the background. I recently discovered a show I can't have on while sewing, Hoarders or Hoarding burried alive, I get sucked into watching that train wreck then I stop sewing and start straightening or cleaning something out. While its good for my house it seriously cuts into my sewing time Hahah.

I plug my iPad into my Bose and listed to Pandora music. I have a whole list of stations, and I "Shuffle". I love my iPad and my Bose when I am sewing.

Our local radio station which is mostly soft rock or a favorite CD which are mixes of mostly classic rock & roll. My day usually begins & remains most of the day, listening to music. When DH is home, he is usually parked in front of tv (mostly sports or cop shows, he is a retired police officer) but I love my music. I have mini stereos in my dining room, my rec room & both of my sewing rooms. Can you tell I love my music ???

I like to listen to the same movies, or pre-recorded tv shows. I know a lot of the scripts by now. I find it hard to listen to audio books b/c the sewing machine humming along drums out the book. I don't like using an earpiece for listening. If I listen to background music it's the Eagles, Merle Haggard, Beatles, Journey, Bob Seeger and a lot of the other more vintage performers. And, there are times I listen to nothing but the sewing machine.

I listen to I Heart Radio on my computer as I sew. I can change the "stations" to any that play music I enjoy.

I keep my radio on set to classic rocks so it is always going, along with "Betty Lou" my cockatiel talking, singing, and doing her alarm sounds... and now I have noticed she is trying to imitate the sounds of my Juki or Singer.

I don't listen to anything while in my sewing room, driving or in the house, I also don't watch television, except once in a blue moon, I like peace and quiet, but I'm sure I'm in the minority.

I listen to talk radio or even classic old radio shows - I get the biggest kick out of those shows.

It's audio books for me. I have a tiny MP3 player (for you Apple folks, that's a toy just like an ipod but mine is a Creative Zen) and am addicted to it. Books download free from the library's Overdrive service.

I usually have my radio tuned to 105.9 FM, a Christian rock/worship music station. Its soothing and I can pray as I sew the charity quilts I make.

I listen to audio books, not music.

I have an Ipod down in my sewing room and I just turn it to play all the songs alphabetical so it could be classical, country, rock (Elvis, Gene Pitney), easy listening (Lettermen, Everly Bros) or christian music. I also added books to my Ipod so if I'm into listening to that I change it to a book. Also put a small TV and DVD player above my machines but so far I haven't turned it on ever and that's 4 years now.

As you can see I like the oldies as well as some of the newer groups such as IL DIVO and the group of boys that just won the British Got Talent.

Usually the tv is on and the dogs are running around. My ears don't make it easy for me to understand the words to the music all the time. I'm good with a station that is nothing but instrumental. not to easy though otherwise I'll go to sleep at my machine. Sometimes i'll have the older movie channels on.

I stream Pandora and listen to a variety depending on my mood. It's generally classic rock, soft rock, or if I'm wanting something more low key I listen to their Chill Out Radio or Dan Fogelberg Radio.

I prefer traditional Christian hymns, and the like.

I usually have the TV on. I knew one quilter that would listen to audiobooks but I can't seem to do two things at one time.

I listen to audio books. Might have to try music on occasion.

Audio books are a standard for me. I am in the middle of listening to "The Racketeer" by John Grisham. The problem is that I can only listen to that one while I am doing "mindless" sewing since it is more dense than the fluffy mysteries I usually listen to while sewing! On detailed work, I have to turn it off and listen to music. I listen to classical, modern choral, classic rock, and Broadway.

I stream Pandora too. What I listen to depends on my mood. I have stations I've created for Rosemary Clooney, Frank Sinatra (this one and Rosemary Clooney are smooth jazz/standards), George Jones (old honky tonk country), 70s Rock, Lady Antebellum (new country), Christmas, Motown, Contemporary Christian/worship, classical, Etta James (Motown with a blues component). Seems like there are a couple missing. I have a very broad eclectic taste in music.

Elvis----for me there is nothing else.
