That sounds like me. LOL! Sometimes I look up at the clock and it's 2 in the AM.
|
Not as much as I'd like as I need to work to keep my habit going. The summer seems to be more hectic and less gets sewn. Someday when I retire, maybe. :)
|
I try to sew several hours a day, Here in Az. It gets hot early, so I am out at 5-5:30A.M. every morning working in my yard until about 9-9:30, Then I do some lessons on the new 830 and sew in the afternoons, So much to learn about digitizing embroidery,but am loving every minute of it , practicing on making shopping bags , don't want to waste the embroidery lesson,so each bag has some embroidery on it , slow process but I am learning :XD: :thumbup:

I used to sew every day but now I am babysitting for my 4 moth old GS. He is so busy there is no time to sew. When my DIL picks him up I am exhausted. But love every minute I get to spend with him. |
When I retired I thought I'd have all the time in the world to sew....HAH!!! That thought didn't last long....LOL I'd love to sew all day, every day if I could but just because you're retired it doesn't mean that life doesn't "happen" any more! I just don't know where the time goes! I no longer have little kids to look after (or a full time job outside the home) but now I have a "big" kid to look after and some days I think he's more work than the little ones use to be...LOL I try to squeeze in sewing time every day but that doesn't always happen either. Some days I'm in my sewing room all day so I guess it evens out :)

I like the 15 minute promise idea. It gets you started and is do able. I have started hand sewing while watching t..v.
|
I am retired now so I am found every day in my quilt room.4-5 hrs daily. Loving every minute of it, too!
|
Every day, several hours a day. I've been at this a little over a year now and am more obsessed now than when I started. I think I need an intervention.

Guys need something to do when they retire,Hubby has several hobbies, The one most important now is putting up cabinets in the garage, he is going to put in the floor decking next ,blocks that connect together, it is a guy thing , he also builds model airplanes now that he is retired and chases with me in our little Casitas trailer camping when it is cool enough,I do gardening , genealogy and sew a lot , he does the grocery shopping and lots of outdoor cooking , BBQ and smoking , I clean house, laundry and some cooking , what a life, God is good, been married 6 years and they said it wouldn't last!!And we aren't young, :-P , :thumbup: :roll:

|
Can't when I'm in school, but this summer I have been!
|
I try to sew daily, sometimes its only for about 1/2 hour; some days its most of the day.

at least every day. I started a quilt on Monday, and finished it ( right down to the binding) by last night. Needed this one for a special fella having surgery next week. Got 'er done too. That sewing room is always buzzing
|
I try to sew everyday at least 2 hours.
|
Every single day....
|
With this heat not so much.
But the other day I was invited to visit my cousin and she said her DIL is having a girl. So I had to go and spend the day making something. I think I sweated a gallon. :-) |
today I'm cutting and sewing lots of 1/2 square triangles in
plaids and shirting prints. I'm making a queen size "double sawtooth star" quilt top for my son, he said he wants a manly looking quilt. I have 5 more 16" blocks to make. Sharon W. |
I clean a little & sew a lot! Every day! My husband is retired so he cooks & cleans & does the marketing. (I have a chronic disease) That really frees me up to sew! Lucky me!!
|
If only!!
|
I sew every day, minimum 2 hrs., max, all thru the nite!!!
|
I sew on average 6 days a week, for atleast 2 hours a day, sometimes a little more. ;)
