An old saying goes: "What can be done in no time, will not be done in anytime!" When I had 10 minutes to sew, I sewed for 10 minuets. Now that I have plenty of time to sew, I am not nearly as efficient with my time. But that's not bad as retirement is supposed to be more relaxing. Retirement also gives me more time to do other things, so sometimes sewing takes a back seat, and sewing room has a door I can close on the work in progress
