right there with ya!!... like either a glass of chardonnay or if its hot out i like mike's hard lime.... but only ONE! after 2 the seams seem to swerve a bit.

Sometimes a glass of red wine is a very good thing.

Yes, I do. Coffee. But I do not have it on my sewing table.

Great question! A drink within reach, ALWAYS! Not an alcoholic drinker but love diet coke. Anything in a can I either set it away from my sewing but on same table or in a stable based, wide mug. Bottles, I always put the cap back on... too tippable! Water is in a large based tall cup and again, away from the machine or on the table next to me. I have had accidents and they aren't fun to clean up since they take away time from the computer and/or sewing. :D :D :D

I have been known to have a glass of vino before I start sewing, never when I am cutting!

Only diet soda or tea. I can't sew a straight line sober yet/still.

I generally drink coffee while I sew, but as I was raised in Brooklyn NY, and talk with my arms gesticulating, I keep it on a table far away from my fabric and my sewing machine (also my computer).
