I try to do something in my quilt room everyday...not always using the sewing machine. Sometimes it is just cutting scraps or looking through/organizing fabric, or tracing pieces for an applique. Just something to keep myself happy!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to sew in over a month..., shame on me. But I have other things pulling me as well. I made a crocheted baby camo outfit for my latest grandson to come home in---but it was too small!!!

I sew everyday now that I am retired. THere was no time to do this when you have a family and work full or part time. Don't feel bad about not sewing everyday. A time will come when you can.

I don't sew every day either unfortunately - there's other things I need to tend to but wish I could sew more often. Am going to try to work on a tote bag this evening while I watch a couple of good programs on PBS.

I sew when I am able which I think might average 2-3 times a week.

not every single day, but most days

At the moment I can't even do it once a month. It's a bit frustrating. I never sew every day unless I'm making something to a deadline

Not every day! Sometimes, not even every week.

I made a resolution to do something creative everyday :!: I count going to the library, or sewing or maybe cutting out the squares for a quilt. I really try to sew something everyday. I feel much better about things in general if I sew, especially if it is something for me :lol: :lol:

I don't sew everyday but I might if I didn't spend so much time here.

I go by spurts, sometimes I am pretty good about spending time quilting and lately I have been very lax.

You really are not the only one. I do sew in spurts and sometimes other activities get in the way. But it is an objective to try to sew.......

I don't sew everyday. I work fulltime and watch my 2yo gd 3 afternoons after I get off work. Sewing and 2 year olds do not mix.

I am either sewing or quilting every day.

like some others on the board, I have to be in the mood to sew, even tho I am home all the time. If I sew when I'm not in the mood, I just make one mistake after another. I could never do it as a business.

I quilt/sew by the project. I'll finish a quilt and not touch another for months. Now if I could only quit buying fabric in between!

[quote=Beth Dishong]I am home on permanent disability so I do get to sew everyday. I would lose my mind if I couldn't sew everyday. I use the machine or work on a project I have that I need to sew by hand. There were many, many years that I worked outside the home and couldn't sew. I hate that I am unable to work any longer but, I love that I can now sew when I want.[/quote Same here, can no longer drive, so spend a lot of time at home sewing.

No you are not by yourself. I do not sew everyday.

i don't sew every day either baby sit with g grandson 17months he keeps me hopping

I was working two jobs. Sewing? Once a month! last week I quit my full time job and was excited about being able to sew more. Now that I am not going to be working, my family has other plans for me; watching baby, taking MIL to Dr.'s, etc.

Retired now. Want to have time to sew all day, but too many things to do. Errands to run, appts., housework. And, soon yard work. Usually, 3 times a week I get in my sewing rm. Sometimes, only 15 min. at a time. Guess, this is call retirement. :lol:

No, you are not the only one that does not sew every day. If I am lucky I sew once a week. I work full time. I get home, cook supper and prepare for work the next day. The weekend is when I quilt, plan and sew.

just got done doing a couch reupholster there was sewing on that not as much as I would like but I had to finish the couch, I am going to make a cover for my piano bench now then start a quilt for kids then I will get my sewing in

I dusted my machine today. Does that count?

nope, you're not the only one.

I do not sew everyday - even I need a day of rest.

No, I don't sew every day. First, I have to be in the mood to get everything out to begin to sew; and second, I do have another life.

Yes, I try to sew every day. Relaxes me!

I work six days then off seven. The seven that I am off I do sew everyday, but on the days I work, I don't get to sew at all.

I would love to sew everyday. I am retired but I still cannot find the time. Although, I signed up for 15 minutes of play and I have been sewing at least for a few minutes each day.

Same here.

I love sewing except when somebody says I must!

No I don't get to sew every day caring for my 93 yr old mom.
And Dh is retired and home now.When he was on the road I would sew from morning until way in the early morning!!!LOL

I don't have time to sew everyday but wish I could!! I am retired so I do sew alot :lol:

I do a little hand work every evening to relax

I get up at 4:30 every morning for my "real" job. Then work till 2, do work for job #2, pick up my daughter, make dinner, grade my kids papers (I teach high school as Job #1), go to the gym, then try to sew. Otherwise I really try to sew on weekends.

I sew irregularly, I work a bunch, I have a DD, SIL, GD and DH I take are of in the evenings, so I sew when I can :D

I went for 29 years without sewing when I worked. Even though I'm retired now I don't sew every day. I feel busier now than when I was working!

I can't sew everyday. I don't think I would if I could. I sew at least three times a week.

I don't sew everyday. There are times I don't want to get away from my machine and quilting, then other times, like this past week, I did not go near my machine.
