Question of the day: Do you sew everyday or do you sew only when there is a need. Or are you one of those people who like to have a "supply" of gifts just in case?

I only sew when I need to. I always have plenty of hand towels and face cloths in case I need a gift in a hurry and just add perhaps a name and a bit of embroidery. At the moment I am making 4 men's shirts to be sent to the UK. Love your daily question. Hope you are feeling better. Hugs Sarah.

I like to have a supply for "just in case". I would LOVE to sew every day but just don't have the time.

I sew as much as I can. Not everyday. But I get lots of ideas and like to make things ahead. Then I always have something on hand when needed. Hugs, Mary

that's good thinking, I try to get ahead too but I ended up giving it away too soon & then I need something again

I used to sew everyday, but I care for my 3yr old Granddaughter, several days a week...and she can't be trusted in the sewing room! So now I sew when I can.

wow I guess I should have answered my own question. I guess I sew pretty much everyday, well as long as I am not in any pain. I find it theraputic, and since I am stuck in the house most days it's either sew do Housework or watch tv. I like to read but I can't do it now because I get a headache from it. And even doing housework is limited for me as I can't bend over it makes me dizzy still. But that's ok because I LOVE TO SEW.

I only sew when I have a project or design to test, but would like to do a lot more than I already can!

I can only sew on Sunday. All the other days I'm busy or with work or with my household. So I always hope we can stay at home on Sunday and not need to go to friends or someone else

I sew everyday, if I can - I mean if I have no interuptions!!!! Babysitting sometimes gets in the way, but I love it. Love Chris

As a very disciplined person I absolutely sew every day (or almost) I do have my routine, arise feed the cats, clean the litter box, feed the cats again, go to cute,then sew sew sew sew embroider, sew, then lunch, then my soap, then sew sew sew sew then dinner, then bed, then get up and start all over again. I do take a break once in a while to go to Joanns (giggle)

I take it in spurts! Ha .... I don't do any for a while -- then I go for a while and that's all I do!
I don't take orders. I used to years ago... did a LOT of alterations and repairs....but people don't want to pay anything for it and to them everything is "just a little job".... I've done everything from altering men's suits, beading wedding gowns, completely redoing the whole top of a wedding gown for a cleaners that they ruined. I've put more zippers in coats and pants than I even want to think about, relined coats (even a mink jacket once)
I got burned out getting ready for my last craft show..I haven't sewn but one thing since November, and since I'm not doing any more shows I have a lot planned to do for myself...just need to get started.

I hardly ever sew - in the past - I would stitch my embroidery every day - but I am limited to what I can do right now - but when I can - I will be back to stitching my embroidery every day.
