In a day? A week? Do you sew daily, or once in a while?

I sew every day. During the week, I sew about 3 - 4 hours a day (after work), and on the weekends, I sew about 8 hours a day.

I try to sew on something every day. Depending on what I'm working on and if I have a deadline, some days I'll sew more than others.

And then every so often I get into a slump and just surf the net hoping the urge to sew will strike me :)

I wish I could sew more...I am lucky to get one day a week to spend a few hours on my projects. That day is usually Sunday...that is my one day at home. Once I graduate maybe I will have more time.

My kids would say I sew way tooooooo much!!!
I work a full time job and I come home just about every night and sew. I sew on the weekends also...
I love it!!!

Daily. Usually, it is alterations for other people, or monogramming for other people.

Sometimes, I just spend alot of time looking at monograms and planning, :lol.

I wish I had more time to sew and embroider, but with a full time job and 3 kids, my time is really limited. Sometimes several weeks will go by without me touching one of my machines, but on average, I probably bet about 3 hours a week in.

I wish I sew more... I sew more in the winter time than summer.

NOT ENOUGH!

I wish I could just sew and embroider all day every day, but unfortunately the job I had to get interferes with what I want to do.

I do try to get in some sewing every day, but on days like today, I'm just too exhausted to do anything but sit on the computer and read all the messages. :p

Not enough! There is so much i would love to know how to do, but I am usually hanging out on the embroidery machine. The extent of my sewing is burpcloths and making and embroidering placemat purses and totes. I wish all of you lived right around me and we could all sit around learn different things. Wouldn't that be great?

I sew a little every day except 2 days a week. One is on Sunday and the other is the day my hubby is off work. we take care of his dad so my sewing room is my get away from all the stress that sometimes come with careing for someone you love who is suffering...

Good question. I guess that depends on whether my computer is working or not. :D If not, then I am on my machine doing something all day long. Sadly, for the topic of getting things done, my computer and internet connection are far too stable and I am on the computer too much. LOL

I too wish I had more time at my machine! I guess I'd say I sew about 2 hours a week. I also paint murals, so I'm keeping busy with that right now.

Some days it's 8-10 hours, some days none at all. It just depends on what the project is. I don't sew clothing so much anymore, but I have started quilting again. Then there are days I feel like embroidering more than sewing and vise versa....so it's hard to say. Just whenever the mood strikes!

I don't get the machine working every day but usually 3x a week on the average, but once I get going, it's an all day affair. There are days when I do digitizing but never get to embroidering anything but I feel like I have!

I sew every chance I get... sometimes that is several hours in one day and sometimes it is only 30 min in 2 weeks. I never know what is going to come in a day, so I just go with whatever I get.

I sew as much as I can depending on the projects, but when I'm really tired I seem to mess up, so I do the easy things.
During the summer, I sew a WHOLE lot.
