I see, knit, and crochet as a hobby. I spend on average about 1 hour per week. Can’t wait to spend more time when life gets less busy.
I sew and knit as a hobby and spend way too many hours a week doing it! I knit every evening for a couple of hours and often more during the day.
I sew as a hobby for the children in my life. The amount of time varies from 10-20 hours per week.
I love to sew! I also love other crafts such as beading and table scaping. Once the sewing machine is up I’m busy at it. Once it is put away (cleaning, company coming, guests staying, traveling, etc.) I only dream about sewing. My solution is handwork. I’m probably the only person who loves to sew hems by hand and snaps for some closures, etc. I love the challenge of making quilt tops, and sewing on the binding, however have little interest in machine quilting, so usually hire someone to do that task. I’m also very naughty when visiting a fabric store. Dream! Dream! Dream!
Thanks, Sandy
I sew and crochet primarily as a hobby, although I have entertained the idea of starting a home business when I retire. I started sewing in my teens and made many of my own clothes. I picked it up again when my girls were young. I supplemented their American Girl wardrobes with my own creations. When they were “too old” for dolls I appropriated their dolls and added a few of my own. I enjoy sewing and designing for my doll collection. I also crochet in the evenings, mostly afghans, but also hats and sweaters for dolls. The amount of time I spend sewing and crocheting varies from nothing at all for weeks to 8 or 9 hours a day when I am not working or involved in other hobbies; reading, scrap booking or gardening.
