Just curious ... I know there's lots of sewin mamas here... how long you usually spend sewin each day? I know we gotta factor kid breaks and chores and crap. I just can't get over some of the awesome work I've been seein here - and I'm dyin to know how it's done so fast with kids runnin around! Anyone got any tips? christine aka trippy
Sew each day?! I wish! I work about 30 hours a week and I always have students calling me at home. Plus all the house stuff: kids, pets, husband. LOL, My step son is here for the summer, which is nice, but he sure eats a lot and creates lots of dirty laundry! My husband convienently forgot how to cook and operate the washing machine, so there is always lots to do. I feel lucky if I get to sew for 2 hours straight on the weekend. I think some folks just don't sleep much! I think that I spend about 4 hours a week sewing, maybe 6. It will be interesting to see what everyone says about your question!
For a while I was tryin to sew a little bit each day. but, like u said sweetersappe, there's all the household stuff to do. Then I was stuck on a project that started pissing me off and I didn't want to sew... at all... for like weeks. All in all, I figured if I can devote an hour each couple days, I'm happy. Course, there's those times when a deadline's approachin (birthday) and i'm up till 4am.
Not at all lately.... Just had a baby and bought a house. I'm still trying to unpack and get organized, which takes forever when you have to stop and feed a baby every 1 1/2-2 hours! I don't even know where my sewing machine is!!!!!!
I sew on and off all day long. I stop to watch morning tv with the kids and make breakfast and to make lunch and to play outside for a little bit. But I can usually manage to get a pair of pants and a few skirts done if I am in a sewing mood.
i get up between 6 and 8:30 and usually go to bed around 10 or 11..... I get a bit of sleep. Sometimes I sneak a quick nap in when the kids take one in the afternoon...............
I wish I could sew everyday.. I have 2 jobs and a house to keep up on... So Im lucky if I get to sew 3 times a week...
I haven't shown anything here...........yet hehe. I go to college at 7am, get home about 6:30pm and then I go and sew as soon as I get home. Have dinner, then sew till about 11pm. So probably about..........4 and a bit hours
i sew as long as my kids let me...i sew more at night when they are asleep tho... from about 9-2am i am usually stitching up a storm..
If I'm lucky 10-15 hours a week, but lately I've been having lots of company and can't spread my fabric all around and make a proper mess.
