    Question What are you working on?

    I'm not doing much of anything these days. I still need to finish Kathryn & Lauren's sock monkeys and Lauren's quilt, so I'm hesitant to start anything new.

    What are you working on?

    I hear people say that they need to get motivated to sew all the time. I think it's strange because it's a hobby and something that's supposed to be fun. So why do we need motivation like it's some sort of chore, kwim? LOL

    We'll be going away soon, so I really need to get the kid's summer clothes done - mostly pyjamas and dresses (my son's clothes still fit from last year)

    I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow morning (and still procrastinating about my packing ), but I'll be taking a quilt with me to hand-quilt. When I get back I have fabric to make sewing machine covers. I just moved into dd's room as she moved out, and they now sit in front of the window. I think that will probably make them turn yellow so I want to make covers for them.

    Everything else is still in list form - meaning it's on my list of things to do

    You wouldn't believe this but I too can't seem to get motivated. I LOVE to sew, there was a time you couldn't get me away from my machines to eat let alone COOK dinner. Now, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I just don't have the motivation.

    I am working on 6 pairs of pants that need to have the waists taken in and one pair taken in down the sides. (these are for my part time sewing business)

    Personally, I also have some of the vintage type fabric with a beige background that has cowboys and horses on it that I will be making a pair of shortie pajamas for my oldest grandson. He keeps asking about them so I guess I need to make a genuine effort to get them done.

    Hi - I have been busy working ang attending school. I have also been finding my zen and am refocusing my priorities. One of them is to make time to sew.

    Right now I am working on a simple A line dress for my almost 3 year old's birthday party. It is very simple, but oh so cute. They grow up too fast.

    I used to make and sell diapers. that really killed the joy in sewing for me. i'm learning to love it again

    plus I have so many projects I want to do...and so little time, and so many fun fabrics that I can't decide then never end up making anything.

    but I got all three sets of jammies cut out for my girls!

    I've got to finish the hem on my pants, and the button.

    then a jacket I started last year i want to finish. I got stuck on the sleeves - I get stuck and quit for a while then come back.
