Sewing in camper
 

We are buying a tear drop camper. It is very small. Thinking of how to sew in such a tight place. Anyone tried that ? www.golittleguy.com you'll see how small. Mine is a T@B S-max . 2 weeks without sewing might send me over the hill or darling husband. Lol

We have a 29' RV and it is almost too small to sew in. I usually take hand sewing projects. I make yo-yos, hexies, and felt penny rugs. I did take the center panel of my daughter's wedding quilt and appliqued the tree and the leaves on. Everything was pre cut. All my projects fit into a small plastic tub. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t247008.html

wow that is smal i would do hand sewing or where you go if nice sit a chair up and sew outside. good luck!!!

I sit at the dinette usually. I have thought about piecing outside, but I can just imagine all the little pieces blowing away! I precut projects ahead of time and package them in huge ziplock bags. You can leave the machine, notions, and project in the car/truck when you aren't sewing. BTW, this is a great time for a Featherweight if you have one. Mine takes up a lot less space than my Bernina!

I'm sure there are ways to sew in any space, but there are other things to do too. Maybe try something new?

That trailer looks so cool. But I must say, after watching the video, I do believe I have more room in our tent. There is no place to sit within the trailer, there are no tables. When we go camping, I take hand sewing. Do you plan to camp where there is an electrical hook up? If so, do you have a small portable machine? Or you could invest in a hand crank, either way you could sit at a table outside to sew. But I would never leave a machine outside overnight.

Sorry, would not be for me, as other said do hand sewing outside. Bet you upsize before long.

I have a small 2 berth caravan about the same size as the teardrop. I keep my sewing machine and projects in the car until I decide to work. I use the dining table to sew on. I've sandwiched and quilted a lap size quilt but would not do anything bigger. You could make all the blocks and make a quilt by sandwiching and quilting each block for quilt as you go at home. I take a small electric sewing machine not my main one, just in case it gets stolen from the car, I do take a couple of hand projects for when I want to sit outside. I usually take too many projects but luckily it's only me and 2 dogs in the caravan so more room than you will have. Wadding / batting takes up a large space so you may want to cut down on this or store in a specific space. I use the car for all sewing activities. One point to watch is condensation or damp during the night.

Thanks, I will do "Over the river" quilt lots of hand embroidery . I haven't started it yet . This will give me time to. Good suggestions.

Yeah, LOL, you can forget sewing in that. Those little teardrops are basically just a place to sleep. How about some hand embroidery in a nice chair outside?

I have to say that much "togetherness" with my old man would result in someone's demise! :D:D:D
