    I watch you with my morning coffee, then I watch quilting videos on you tube while in the sewing room until 4:30 then I watch the Young and the Restless lol! No drinks in my sewing room as I spill it.

    I have fallen into your no such thing as weekends. I retired last year. Too accustomed to project schedules and i am a 'doer'. I have adopted your calendar approach to sewing and what a game changer from just a to-do list. I have even made headway on a 20 year old project simply because of your 'on this day every week I will do xxxx'. (I work on it every Sunday). So unless kids schedule something on weekend because of their work schedules, I now have sewing, cleaning, house admin, scheduled for everyday of the week. You have made retirement a dream come true!!!!

    I listen to audiobooks while I sew. Reading and quilting are my most favourite things to do, so this way I can do both simultaneously 😊

    I quilt a lot in the evening. I have a TV on and watch shows that I don't have to pay alot of attention to... old TV series, YOuTube videos, etc. I keep my drink with a cap on it, so I don't spill it. I have my planner so I can see what project I need to work on. Our dog is laying on the rug next to me, and my cat is on a shelf nearby so she can supervise my work. Every so often, hubby will pop in to see how I'm doing. I love watching your videos.

    My sewing space is in a bedroom that also shares space with the “office “ and my husbands big desk built by his father. I do have to shuffle some when I want to sew and my sewing desk sits in the corner where the two windows are, so the blinds get opened and I can see the backyard. This same bedroom is off the family room so I keep my drink on the coffee table just outside the door. I like to listen to TH-cam videos, some music and sometimes nothing at all. Hope you have a productive weekend of sewing.

    I like to listen to the local FM radio station while I sew. It broadcasts music, news, local event information, as well as emergency information. Call me old fashioned but it keeps up to date with my community. Oh, and its free!

  • @andreaahlin6290
    @andreaahlin6290 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi Pat, I clear my entire sewing service off from in front of my machine and to the left of it when I bind my quilts. I listen to old time radio shows or music with my earbuds. Thank you for all that you share with us! ❤😊

  • @lorirowsey62
    @lorirowsey62 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Definitely music. Sometimes a show if it’s easy piecing. I keep a drink on the table- just living on the edge like that. 😂 my husband made a cut out/drop down for my sewing machine in a vintage dining room table we got free on marketplace. It’s pretty big so all the extra “stuff” gets pushed to the back of the table to make a nest for cutting and sewing. I have my sewing machine set down in the table, a serger, and an embroidery machine on the table, a long arm behind me, and just enough room to shimmy around the back. I think I need a new house just to support the hobby. Ha ha ha!

    You are not only always very informative, but I love your sense of humor. I don't listen to anything while I'm sewing. I like quite and I just concentrate on what I'm doing. I can't multi task, my brain can only handle one job at a time.

    • @karleenpage5979
      @karleenpage5979 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Multitasking doesn't work for me either! If I try to do more than one thing at a time, I make a mess of both! Lol If I try listening to something while sewing, my mind starts to wander, as do my seams! I believe that multitasking is one of those "modern myths" that needs debunking! You can't have it all and do all things well, IMHO!

  • @dianegardner4603
    @dianegardner4603 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I love listening to music while I quilt. The louder the better. 😊 Also keep my tea close by.

  • @mindytaylor26
    @mindytaylor26 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I don’t usually shuffle much, if anything it’s moving another project to work on another. I typically turn on my tv in sewing room and listen to true crime shows. At the moment I gave several different things to do. Customer quilts, another bookcase to put together and put fabric up in, and sewalongs and ufos and there is always binding to do.

  • @denisepineda1788
    @denisepineda1788 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    When I am sewing, I watch movies or football games. If I am binding, I watch the same stuff, but clean off more space so my quilt isn’t knocking everything over.

    I'm a November birthday too, Pat, and today's my birthday.😊 After I retired several years ago from my M-F, 8-4 job I changed to your philosophy that every day is a sewing day. When asked about my day I usually reply "every day's a Saturday." Hardly a day goes by that I'm not in my sewing area (unfinished basement). My parents gifted me money for a mid-arm quilting machine and frame before they passed away. Around the time you were recovering from fracturing both of your wrists, I fractured my left ankle and had to get plates put on both sides of my leg/ankle. So I added the computerization feature for edge-to-edge quilting to keep from standing for long periods of time. (I hadn't watched much TH-cam before then, but I found your channel when I was recovering.) Whew, all of that to say that I love spending time sewing...cleaning and cooking not so much.🤣
    While sewing I usually watch YT quilting videos, movies, listen to music, and/or most recently found Keith Morrison's Dateline podcast. However, first thing in my mornings I get my coffee, breakfast, vitamins, and head to the computer to watch your almost daily video. Thank you for starting my day off with a smile and desire to go play with my fabric.♥

    While sewing I usually do not listen to anything, but the sound of machine. The sound of the sewing machine is very soothing to me. On my morning dog walks, I listen to podcasts about quilting, right my favorite is Grateful Threads. With my morning coffee, I watch Pat and other TH-cam quilting channels.

  • @beckyhenning448

    I usually listen to audiobooks as well. I also listen to podcasts, one favorite is “Inappropriate Guilters”. They are fun ladies to listen to.😂

    @theresagandolfo901 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    When I sew I listen to audio books. I love to read but haven't figured out how to sew and read books at the same time. So I feel like I am multi-tasking!

    When I am sewing in my area I have to have music playing, have always loved listening to music, it helps set my mood to work. I am retired and can sew, and do, anytime I wish which is almost every day. When family is home I do not sew much. Hope you have a good week, love to see how you work and your thoughts on doing it all.

  • @nancyandersen615
    @nancyandersen615 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Don't have a regular routine when in my sewing room. I live alone with my canine companion so will at times turn the stereo on and let my CDs play. If binding, after sewing to the front I will sit to watch TV while I pull around and hand sew to the quilt back. One of these days I will try totally sewing binding on with my machine (small projects to begin with). Thanks, again, Pat for all you share with us 😊.

    I like to watch a tv show when I am piecing a quilt. I watch the British shows because they have lots of dialogue, so I can just listen to the story & only occasionally look up to watch when there is a bit of an action scene. When I am quilting I often listen to music or a podcast.

    Hi Pat, I live in a moderately-low-income Independent Senior Living two-bedroom apartment and while it is roomy, it’s not large enough to get all of my sewing things in one bedroom. My sewing machine is in my bedroom because I love to sew in front of the windows - daylight is the best. My bed must be made when I sew though because it makes me feel calm when it is in order and I’m more productive. The valances on the windows that I made and my bluebird quilt make me happy. My cutting table is in the living room and my actual sewing room is my second bedroom which has fabric, thread, scraps, strips, squares, selvages, etc which I am still sorting out since I moved here two years ago. Almost done though. I don’t listen to or watch anything while I sew so I can focus. Tonight I finished quilting my table runner in echo quilting that is made from three of the Autumn blocks. I did it in Quilt-as-you-go. I will post the front and back on your page on Facebook. Enjoy your weekend no matter what you do. Love your videos!!!

    I just watched your Friday morning video. I’ve gotten in the habit lately of watching them in the mornings before I do anything you ask about our sewing routine mine is pretty lazy like my kitchen and my sewing room, or side-by-side we kind of live in the big kitchen so I go from my recliner in the kitchen to my sewing room so I saw a little recline a little so a little recline a little and stop whenever my husband needs something, so maybe I don’t have the best routine but it is what it is

    I do have a small monitor/tv in my sewing room, but it needs to get moved so it’s easier for me to watch while I sew. It’s a matter of tilting my head up to watch vs stopping, turning around and watching. I watch NASCAR races, football games and Dateline; I don’t need to watch it constantly to get the gist of what’s going on.

    I have to have music going in my studio, first thing I turn on. I have a warmer I put scenty melts in that smells wonderful. And I have a drink that I have to chase down cause I'm moving all over my studio. I actually bring out a small cooler with drinks so I don't have to go back in the house. My studio is in a separate building just outside of the house. I love it!

    During the baseball season, I sew during the ball game. ❤ In the off season, I catch up on quiting shows on TH-cam. Year round, I listen to audiobooks. No drinks near the sewing machine. I make myself walk to the kitchen to take breaks. Love the coffee apron!!!

    Coffee to my right, iPad to my left during sewing small block listening to health relaying pod cast.

    Good Morning Miss Pat! I wear aprons for cooking and eating. I found myself staining way too many of clothes without an apron. While sewing I listen to and sing along with my favorite Christian radio station or listen to Crime Junkie podcasts. I have a bit of ADHD and these two things occupy that squirrel chasing part of my brain so i can focus on my quilting.

    Sometimes I have a candle burning if I am going to spend some time piecing. Instrumental music is best for me so I do not become distracted. I set a timer so I keep on task and hydrate myself.

    I try to watch/listen to videos when sewing but then get sucked into U-tube to find another video to watch and end up watching it! I sometimes listen to music too. Thanks for all the items you show us and how you do things too. You do so much and have so much to keep up with! I find this time of year I will do a few "Sew In" days with my quilt guilds. It is a pain to drag stuff around but do get more done that way. Several shops nearby have a sew in time too. My problem currently is that I need to sort thru 2 piles of leftovers, mostly bindings. Our guild makes placemats for meals on wheels type group and need to use those pieces for that.

    I definitely listen to music most of the time, i can't watch TV, and sew at the same time, my seams would be so wonky, lol. I definitely have a drink off to the far right side of my sewing desk so i don't spill on my sewing machine or the fabric. I think no matter how you set up your space, you always are gonna have to make adjustments for doing different tasks such as sewing binding on quilts because they are just so big, midt ppl don't have a lot of space and its quite the process and we want it to be beautiful so we maneuver everything around to accommodate the process. Few that was a long explanation haha.

    My gosh I used to be so into aprons. I organized a FB apron exchange some years back. That was a lot of fun. (work but fun too). So, you asked us how we prep and set up for sewing. My cabinet is always open and ready to walk in, sit down and sew. I love listening to music or simply turn my t.v. on to you tube. Depends on the project, time notched out. If its just 30 minutes I will just sew no other distractions. ha ha Except hubby and the pooch.

  • @lindak5610

    I listen to audio books during most of my sewing. But if it is a thinking project like cutting, then I listen to music. I like TV, but "watching" slows down my sewing progress. Haha.
    When I do machine quilting on my domestic machine I have to clear off the entire sewing table. Otherwise, the quilt pushes things to the floor. It's easier to move it from the beginning, than to pick it up.😂

    I enjoy your videos so much. I have just retired and am going to start using your calendar as a way to stay organized since I have so much time. I listen to old movies on you tube for background noise. Enjoy your day😁

    I like to listen to shows like dateline. Or, organizing tips, and quilt podcasts. I'm just starting to do audio books.

    I used to enjoy listening to your APQ Podcast while I was sewing. I miss listening to you interview people! Right now, I mostly listen to music (and keep my beverage far from my fabric!)

    Love the aprons. My grandmother always wore one when she cooked because she always was nicely dressed. I had made myself one but never used it. Gave it to a friend who fell in love with it.
    When I sew I tend to need concentration so if anything, I listen to music with no words. Yanni is a favorite of mine. Love all the personal tidbits you share. 💖

    I moved my sewing studio to a different space in my house but in my old space I had a TV and would usually listen to and half watch HGTV. My new space doesn’t have a connection for my tv cable so now I either just have quiet or I’ve started listening to podcasts on my phone, mostly heath and wellness stuff by a British doctor, Dr Chatterjee, who has wonderful guests for the podcasts. I always have a thermal mug of tea set to the side where my fabric never is and my dog usually keeps me company.

    Hi pat I am not very organized my sewing space is very tight I have yet to find a good flow to my room, but when I am quilting I will listen to music on my echo dot.

    Pat, sometimes I listen to calming music while quilting. I also have a tight workspace, someday I hope to get a bigger sewing table! Have a great weekend!❤

    The apron I use most is a harvest apron I made about four years ago. I like to run classic movies in the background while in my sewing room, or sometimes an audio book.

    Love listening & watching!! Your skills have stepped my projects up in ways that improve their appearance. Today, I was finishing a small project & when the seam in the binding hit right at the corner, I knew what to do. Cut it off & move the seam back from the corner! You showed us that. Thank you!! ❤❤

    Hi Pat, I often listen/watch you in my sewing room. Or sometimes another quilter if I’m all caught up on your daily videos. I also listen to audio books. As i like to read but often don’t have enough time to get through a good book at bedtime (or too tired). I’m looking on Amazon to get myself a tablet holder thats on a arm that hooks onto the side of my sewing station. It’s adjustable so i can move it around where i need it. I love your sewing table. You are so fortunate. I just have my machine on a desk, that is too high for my machine.

    We have an awesome library. One of the things I'm able to do is download an audio book. So, I listen to a book while sewing. I feel like I'm doing two things at once. Thank you I enjoy all your TH-cam videos!

    While I am able to strew the sewing all over the house my actual working space is smallish. My computer desk is set up across from the machine I watch different videos - monitor is a small tv so I switch back and forth. One room is set up with newer machine another room is primarily for cutting and I sew on my Singer 201 in there. Depends on the mood I am in where I plant my butt for the day.

    Gosh Pat I guess we can no longer tell you to "have a good weekend" LOL. I am an apron person--craft & sewing & cooking & cleaning. It seems to put me in "work mode" when I "suit up." I can't watch movies or videos & concentrate while I sew, but I do listen to podcasts, books, & news.

    While in my studio I have a drink in a safe space. I will either listen to music, have a familiar movie or tv show on so I don’t have to watch it just listen or have TH-cam videos playing. A candle is sometimes burning too. It’s a happy place to be!❤️ Try not to work too hard Pat! Enjoy!🎉

    I NEVER watch anything because I'm paralyzed from the neck down in front of the tv! Sometimes the silence is welcome. As requested, my daughter got me a boom box a few years back when I listened to audio books from the library, which were mostly on cassettes, some on cd (Library in our new town doesn't have many audio books). Now a days, I listen to music on cd occasionally. Mostly I listen to NPR on the radio, starting with Fresh Aire with Terri Gross - I love her interviews! It's hard to listen to anything when I'm using the longarm as it drowns out every other sound.

    I so enjoy your videos! Yes, I do watch TV. I'm a Trekkie, so I watch a lot of Star Trek, but on occasion, my daughter that lives at home will want to sit with me while I sew, so we either talk about stuff or watch a movie together. Now that Christmas is around the corner, I listen to Christmas cantatas - the ones that have a play, along with music in between acts. They are really fun!

    I usually wear aprons when cooking. I wear an apron when quilting on the long arm, I found it protects the fabric of my shirt and gives me a place for scissors, etc. I enjoy burning a candle and listening to an audiobook or music when in my sewing room. Thanks for the peak into how you make your business work!

  • @annebuckley9040

    When I sew, I usually like some background noise. Depending on the season, I put baseball or football on TV. Sometimes the espn shows since they do not require much concentration 😂. I also was gifted a used blade thread cutter and thought I’d never use it. However, based on todays video I put it together, clipped 90 chain-pieced units in seconds, and I am sold!!

    I always have something to drink (non-alcoholic). I have a few podcasts that I will listen to. Or I like to listen to books. I need to start just listening to music. When I listen to books or podcasts I find myself stopping the audio and looking things up. Then I am distracted from my main purpose for being there!. :)

    I’ve never been an apron user, but my husband has recently reminded me that many of my tops have grease spots or other food spots that happen when cooking at the stove. So now I use one.

    When I’m ready to actually quilt instead of piecing, I lift a (combo large ironing/ cutting) table from behind me against the wall over the machine area to behind the pulled out machine so I have a surface to support the large quilts! It’s pretty interesting to my Quilty neighbor friends who’ve seen it in process! I fill a large water glass on a “nightstand table” table that stays to my right w 3 small drawers and open the Ikea-style table to the left. My space is around 7’x 10’. I’ve just started listening to music sometimes when chaining etc.

    Hey, Pat! I usually set up a playlist of quilting videos and sew along. If I find myself stopping a lot to watch the videos, I’ll listen to a podcast. My favourites are comedy podcasts from CBC Radio Canada, especially The Debaters and Because News.
    This was the first time that I heard you mention your Sashiko. I got fabulous deal -less than 25% of the retail price-on a mint condition Shashiko 2 from Kijiji (like your Craig’s List). I don’t think that the previous owner had opened the storage tray! It was a 10 hour return drive to Ottawa, but a friend came along and we just made a road trip if it!
    I’m going back to watch your Sashiko playlist.
    Thank you, and stay well!
