I sew like you - nose down to the work and as fast as possible, sewing room a complete mess until the project is finished.<br /><br />Happy Stitching!<br />-ErikaErika Mulvennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819965592532896464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734153264286603446.post-53966114972450800092010-10-14T11:07:51.702-07:002010-10-14T11:07:51.702-07:00Well, I prefer to have one shoe on my non-sewing f...Well, I prefer to have one shoe on my non-sewing foot and the bare/socked foot for my pedal.<br />I have an ott light for extra light.<br />I have all my tools in a longaberger spring basket and since I take my sewing other places to work, I have lime ribbon with polka dots all over everything. I have a pair of large finger holed scissors, 5" craft, by my serger and sewing machine. I <b> never </b> take out my 8" gingers unless I am going to use them and then I always put them back in their case cuz they are pricey and I want to keep them another 12 years. Sometimes music, sometimes tv but mostly quiet. And I have far too many pincushions to be helpful, but I don't like mixing my pins on the same cushion. <br />Hand sewing is a whole 'nother can of idiosyncrasies.

My bobbin case is in arms length. Couldn't live without my seam ripper, not just for the obvious reasons, but I use the tip to guide the fabric alot of the time. I always have my ironing board out and the iron hot. Sometimes I listen to music, but mostly not. Because my craft room is small, my computer is next to my machine, so I can check FB while I sew :) Sometimes I loose a pattern piece that I just had in my hand and it takes me 20 minutes to find out where I put it! Stretching? You're supposed to stretch? Have a great day Amy!!!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484805292551113593noreply@blogger.com
