These days I sew as a hobby primarily which is fun . . Gone are the days when I made my own clothes for work , now retired . Making clothes other than for work for my Daughter has evolved into uniforms . And grand daughter doll clothes are the wishes mostly enjoyed . This year I’m going to learn to knit and crochet to add to the creativity and tomorrow I’m putting a zipper in a large wool sweater that requires re-enforcement and some dexterity . I’m hopeful .
I sew, knit, or do crafts of many types as a way to fulfill a need in me to be creative. On average, I spend at least two hours every day on something creative, but usually it’s many hours. Now that I’m older I try to pass on my skills to young people around me so that the arts do not die.
I crochet & loom knit for pleasure, charity and to get a little pin money (ad to decrease my stash :) ). Counted cross stitch is for fun. I do it in front of TV or while reading a book on my laptop or listening to a book. Probably about 20 hours a week.
I sew and knit primarily as a hobby, and on average, I spend around 2-3 hours a week. I also hope to learn to crochet in the very near future.
I sew as a hobby that provides much needed relaxation. I sew 5-6 hours a day. My children and grandchildren benefit from my sewing projects. I even have little helpers that have become acquainted with sewing and love to do this with grandma! What a treat for them and me!
