I sew primarily to make historical outfits for my daughter’s AG dolls. I love to do it when I can find the time. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good groove going due to moving/packing/unpacking and then having to put everything away again for the holidays. But once the decorations are put away, I will get it all out again and set up shop in my dining room. Once I get a good groove going, I spend ~ 8-10 hours per week working on an outfit. I’m self taught in the past 5 years and it takes me a long time to create one outfit, but it’s complete with dress, bloomers/cami and bonnets!
As a mother of 6 adult children and a grandmother of 12, I sew primarily as a hobby, making clothes and accessories for dollies, Barbies, stuffies etc, and I also do a lot of mending of blue jeans. I think my new record is 18 patches on one pair of pants! On average, I spend 8 hours per week on various sewing projects.
I sew and crochet as a hobby for stress relief and enjoyment. I spend every single second that I can doing this.
I sew and crochet primarily as a hobby and a means to provide clothes and toys to my grandchildren, but I do sell some of my work sometimes to earn extra money. I sew/crochet on average 25 hrs a week. This increases close to Christmas time.
I sew primarily as a hobby. I sew /craft at least 2 hours a week!
