Share with us the things your creating at the moment, are you sewing already for Halloween & the upcoming Holidays? We are having a fashion shoot in 2 weeks so you can image what is going on in our lives sewing everyday and night getting ready; these can be the most stressful yet exciting moments! Glad to share them with my 13 mo old daughter Olivia!

Re: What are you currently creating?

I'm not making anything... I have a huge stack of patterns and tons of fabric, but I'm not very good at sewing so practicing kinda feels like a chore.

I'm making 35 ice packs for an order! I just ran out of fabric and rice, so I'm having to wait for some money to come through. Ugh! I hate waiting!

Re: What are you currently creating?

I'm actually retired but sew at home for about 3 clients. Mostly piece work but I just purchased an embroidery machine and am in love. If it stops moving long enough I will embroider it.

Re: What are you currently creating?

I'm a beginner so I'm working on what I thought were easy projects, lol. I'm learning to make reusable lunch stuffs and some bags. I recently made the mistake of thinking that a simple 9-block quilting square would actually be simple...nope! Well at least not for me that is. It's all good though. Because practice makes perfect (eventually).

Re: What are you currently creating?

I kinda new at sewing. I have a one year old so I can't spend much time in the craft room. So for now I make small thing like fabric hair bows. I would love to make outfits to sell, but that isn't going to happen for a while.

Erin thats sounds crafty and eco friendly, would love to make some things like that eventually. Eria sewing is fun but very time consuming, I have a 14 m old and I can totally relate I give her 1 nap a day at 12-3 and thats my "me time" for sewing :)

Re: What are you currently creating?

Right now, I'm working on new totes, Christmas aprons and trick or treat bags. I have a schedule to keep me on task - I'm easily distracted - and if I deviate from it I never accomplish anything.

Re: What are you currently creating?

Right now I'm actually between projects. I always seem to have a closet full of fabric but never enough time to put anything together! I haven't created anything specifically for the holidays other than I created a to do list! Haha

Re: What are you currently creating?

I just retired from my full time job with the government. So nice to not report to someone else to work every day after working for someone else for 28 years. I have enough fabric to open a fabric store, but I intentionally bought lots while it was on sale and I had the day job income. I was investing in my sewing business. I have sewn for over 50 years and sew every single day. Just finished making 11 of my new adjustable baby bib designs that fits 3 months to 3 years. I also am working on a custom order for my most popular quilt panel elephant blanket with minky trim. Should have that completed by tomorrow even though the order is not due for another 2 weeks. So nice to complete an order early. I have many more different panels that I am quilting and adding the minky trim. Hope to have some completed this week. Also working on a new apron pattern to try out, making a fleece jacket for women with minky trimmed sleeves and collar. Can't wait to start that project. I am busy everyday and everything in my shop is sewn by me. The crochet and knitted items are made by my 78 year young mom and one of my younger sisters. Love my business and hope it grows. I have a large outdoor craft show to get ready for in mid October. Wish me luck!

Re: What are you currently creating?

Not sewing anything at the moment. My sewing room is undergoing a major re-organization project. When I go to my favorite place(fabric store) I can't resist the urge to buy. I don't think about the space to put it. Just that I have to have it. When I get home I have a major meltdown. My husband usually spends time with me in my sewing room after dinner, but I kicked him out. Not enough room. So I must build up. I' shooting for the weekend. Then I have some orders to get out, costumes for grandchildren and roman shades for my new craft room.

Re: What are you currently creating?

Hi my name is Mechelle. I've been a member but have'nt been involved much. I do read everyone's responses though. I've been sewing for about 45 years and I haven't gotten tired of it yet. There is always something I see that motivates me to go on. I have a shop here at Etsy called insidenanasewingroom. Stop by and look see. But I also have a blog at nanassewingroom.wordpress.com, I would like you all to visit me there as well. Seems someone could use some motivation. I'm not asking you to buy anything, just hopefully get some more insight into sewing and visit more often when you feel unhinged. I can also help you with some of your projects if you'd like.

Re: What are you currently creating?

I am trying to keep my stock up! I have 2 sewing machines going at a time. I am obsessed with FSL ornaments I do on my embroidery machine, while I am sewing clothes or other items. I have been doing Fine Arts & Craft Shows for the last year and I never seem to have as much stock as I would like.

Re: What are you currently creating?

I'm making a dress for myself. I'm just not sure of the fabric or color. Something tells me I'm gonna need it black if my husband don't straighten up and fly right. He's talking about retiring and there goes my quiet time. But he also thinks if he does retire he' ll die soon after. I told him if he quits he will die soon after because I'll kill him. lol
