*Sniffle*

I miss my sewing machines! Since we're moving I can't sew, I have to pack and I really miss sewing! I usually sew every day, I spend at least 6 hours sewing and working in my room and I haven't been able to for about two weeks now. I'm having sewing withdrawls!

Sorry, I just needed to rant, I miss my sewing machines, I wonder if they miss me.

Update!!!

I'll try and get some pics when I get all of my cutting room put together!!!!

LOL wow I never heard of anybody who loved to sew so much to have sewing withdrawls! sorry, I guess it's not funny. Can you knit,? is there anything similar that you could do to help the withddrawls?

LOL! It probably does sound weird but it's my biz and it's what I LUV!!!! It's not that I can't physically sew right now, I could probably find something still in my sewing room if I was desperate lol, but I'm supposed to be packing and all my work is packed already anyways.

Hang in there hon.

Show us some of your stuff! We would love to see it.

I've posted a little of my stuff before. I do dancewear, clubwear, lingerie, swimwear and costumes.

All my girls are asking me for stuff and I can't make anything 'cause more than half my room is already moved!

I totally understand Guen! I went to the same withdrawals when I had to study and couldn't sew for a month. Hang in there! (((hugs)))

Could you do hand-sewing? I live in a studio apartment and space is so limited that I can't keep my sewing machine out all the time, so I spend time hand-sewing when I don't want to get out the machine. Do you know how to tailor? If so, then why not make a suit or a coat for the fall? If not, then this would be a great time to learn (when you're not pressured). I used to make a lot of separates when my machine was always at the ready, but now, I tend to make a coat every other year (which requires less machine time). You could try either type of tailoring: bench (no machine stitches, everything done by hand), or bespoke (seams are machined, specialty stitches are by hand). You don't even have to do a full project, you could just work on stitches that you'd like to learn or improve (I'm horrible at hand-worked buttonholes, and need hours more of practice to get better at them).

Awesome advice!

Sorry, sweetie! I was looking at your links again and your stuff is awesome!

I just thought of something else. I'm in a Sewing Meet-Up, and it's great for me because I have very limited space for cutting patterns and the place we meet has huge cutting tables (and sewing machines, sergers, pressing equipment, etc.), so I get to use them. If you have a Sewing Meet-Up nearby you, then you might want to join so that you don't have to give up sewing while in the process of moving. You could look at meetup.com to see if they have any Sewing clubs near you. I know what you're talking about, I love to sew and knit and go bonkers if I don't do it for awhile. I sew at home and knit on the subways (to and from work, or anywhere else). Hooray for Sewing!

I could but I don't have the time, I have to be cleaning and packing instead. Oh, well, the faster I get the apt cleared and moved, the faster I can get back to my machines right?!

I work at night though and sleep during the day. Unfortunately Vegas is only a 24 hour place to live if you gamble, drink, or go clubbing, everything else is just like anywhere else.

ooh hun.. did you get it yet? I understand.. candle making is not only my business, but therapy..LOL.. if I didnt have it to escape too, I would be sad too!

((( Big Hugs )))
