Sewing on my Patio
#31
Last year I bought one of those rolling tool boxes for my SIL and then filled it with tools he will need for his first house. My daughter thought it was a great idea. I also considered it for a rolling sewing kit, but I really do not have any need for one right now. I saw them again at WalMart yesterday. They are $19.99. What a bargain if you can use it!!! Hope you can find one.

I am hoping to get all the blocks finished before they release the assembly instructions.
What I need is a portable cabinet of some sort that holds all the peices and do dads that I need to sew with. And just wheel it on out the door when I want to sew and wheel it all back in when I am done. That or an enclosed patio, but that ain't going to happen while we live here. Happy Sewing everyone.

YAY for summer in Oregon. Daytime in the 70's nights in the 60's and 14 hours of daylight. How can you top that.

I do a lot of my sewing outdoors, mainly because instead of quilting, I’m usually sewing things that I’d rather not bring into the house or the shop (eeewww). I repair outdoor covers and repurpose old tarps with my old Singer 66 Redeye handcrank. Both the back patio and front patio have been put to use, even in July.

Sew outside every chance that you get! It's really kind of nice!
I've heard of several quilters that sew on the picnic table at campgrounds while traveling, either with a handcrank or an extension cord. Maybe not quilting, but piecing. The weather has to cooperate, of course.
I wheeled my Consew Industrial outside and sewed (repaired) a boat cover in the alley behind the shop one day. I got a second look or two, but everything went just fine.
