musings
I haven't done any sewing for several days. We're getting ready to go on a little vacation and I'm trying to bring all my knitting projects to a point where I can leave them for a week - or start new ones that I can bring along (tee hee). And although I've got several sewing projects going on right now (the kwiky prototype, the groovy pj's, and yes, still dressy!), I don't feel like I have to get them to a certain stage before I go. I seem to be approaching these sewing projects the way I do my knitting projects. I sort of go back and forth between different projects: work a bit on the kwikies, then sew a few seams on the pj's until I get to a new technique, and continue to avoid the last few difficult steps on dressy.
Is that atypical for sewing? I have to keep changing the needle and foot, and rethread each time I switch projects, but I like having the choice of what to work on tonight. Somehow, I think it keeps me a little more interested in and excited about all of my projects. So do hobby seamstresses also have multiple WIPs and UFOs?

i never have more than one sewing project going on at a time due to lack of space. if i did i'd have stacks and stacks of cut out pattern pieces and fabric all over the floor and ironing board (which has been in my living room for a couple of months now!). I haven't done anything on my corduroy jacket since cutting out the pieces weeks ago. i can't imagine starting something else unless it was super easy. i think i'm anal that way!
