Getting into sewing again.

I need motivation to do mending and the like! I don't sew that much but sometimes get in a mood and do it. I don't need motivation to knit or needlepoint, though. It sounds like you're doing well with your chemo. It's kind of scary how many people have gone or are going through cancer treatment (me included).

is it ok for me to respond to this? because I don't sew and I can't do so. but your title caught my eyes. it reminds me of my grandma who liked to sew and knit. in fact, she made me some beautiful dresses when I was still a kid, and this kinda reminds me of her. the beautiful memories that still remain. I do hope that you will get well soon and I am looking forward to seeing your pictures. have a good day.

More than anything else, I need SPACE! And today the young man is out there finishing up my craft shed! Its warm and sunny today, tho the ground is still a bit soft from last weekends rains so hopefully this week I can start getting things done out there and actually start making a few things!

I don’t sew but I wish I knew how to! It would be lovely to be able to make my own clothes. I don’t have the skill for sewing and craft although I like to have a go when I’m in the mood. My daughter loves to do crafty things and she is usually the one who motivates me with her creative ideas. School holidays are a good time for us to do different things together. Good luck with the rest of your treatment...

Nice to know you keep yourself busy inspite of what you are dealing right now I don't know about knitting, but I know how to crochet and sew and cross-stitch. I also know few paper works and a lot more. I like handicrafts and it's my forte. I really wish to learn about knitting too... Have a good day and looking forward for the photos ma'm :)

I used to sew all the time and loved it. For some reason I got out of the swing of things. It is so nice to see a finished project and how it feels and fits. I will watching for pictures of your sewing.

I love all kinds of crafting.Not to long ago I made a handbag with some old blue jeans and fabric.

I Am trying to get into my sewing again...I Am making some cushion covers to give as presents for Christmas...some I embroidered some have laces so I will see how I go...keep your good spirit I Am happy you are doing so well take care.

I use to sew, knit and crochet years ago, but did so mostly for my kids. So to a sense yes I need motivation in order to do it again. I really have not in years so nothing really has appealed for me to begin again. I think it is an excellent idea you do some sewing and know you will be all classy looking in your matching ensembles. Send me pictures as I know you will be looking all nice.

Hi, Marguichaq I hope you feel better. It's good that you are in the mood to do creative work as sewing. I used to sew almost all my clothes when I was young. Later I had less and less time. Then my daughter began to study textile and fashion and took hold of all my needles and sewing threads. I don't have time to sew and sincerely speaking I don't feel like it right now. But I still wait for a new inspiration to come.

I am glad for you after knowing that you are using sewing as a way to enjoy living life. It is nice to see a person such as you who choose to be productive and positive than be depress by your current state of health. I do have my own hobbies which help me to clear up my thoughts when I am highly stress out.

ah friend you are so productive even in your condition and I love that very much. That's why I feel sorry when young people who are not sick in our place just hang around doing nothing the whole day and wasting their precious time, next time I meet somebody who is like that, I will tell them the story of my very brave friend here at mylot

Also dont forget to post a pic of the scarves you make.I am glad you are doing well.You can find some really thin cloth to make some turbans or scsarves to match your outfits.

Hi friend nice to hear that chemo is responding and your health is improving . Thanks for sharing the picture . OMG you are so talented , you cook and sew so well . Wish I lived near you and could learn . I sew in my school days as it was mandatory in school . Never nurtured the craft later . I have an aunt who is an expert but lives far off my place . I appreciate your interest . Good luck friend :-)

I am motivated when I need to be.....sounds like you are getting better all the time and I truly hope you can return to your sewing....that will take your mind off other things too....can't wait to see the photo of your terrace!

I have never been into sewing. I will probably have to find things again if my temporary doctor has his way. I was told on Thursday that he wanted to see me next Tuesday to talk about starting on chemo again. I will know more after that appointment. Oh well...I was hoping that wouldn't happen again. I hope you are able to find some great fabric for the purpose. Happy New Year!!!

You are to be commended for your entire attitude during this trying period in your life, marguicha! You always seem to have such a positive attitude and looking toward the future is proof of that. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to hear that your lymphoma is behaving well and that your next chemo is your last. I know how you must be looking forward to all that renewed energy. That is enough to give anyone motivation, all that good news! I normally don't need any motivation to work on any of my crafts but, with my marriage being over in every way but legal, I've battled with depression over the move I'm about to make. Not because it hurts emotionally, that part is long over; my depression stems from the physical part of moving. It's exhausting for a younger, healthier person and that is definitely not me. Besides, I've just been diagnosed with bursitis in both hips and they love to scream at me throughout the day, every day. I'm extremely fortunate to have enough strong muscles from my sons and some male friends who are very willing to help me in this move but I am still doing quite a lot with all the packing, sorting and disposing of things before the big move occurs. (I'll be starting physical therapy soon to hopefully help with the pain in my hips.) I've been a crafter ever since I can remember. My mother used to almost shove me out the door when I was little to "go play" because I preferred to stay home and work on whatever craft project I had going at the time. I've never changed. I used to LOVE creating new costumes for my sons for Halloween when they were little. That put my imagination as well as my crafting abilities to the test. I wish I still had a little person to create costumes for. My sons are way too old for that, now. Well, my youngest son still likes to find a party to go to and wear some sort of costume that he's created. Hmmm, now that it's on my mind, I believe I have a photo of him one year around Christmas when he dressed as "Mrs. Santa Claus". He was a hoot! Yeah, I'll post it here and hopefully give you a good laugh. Maybe I'll even do a discussion about him closer to Christmas! You know what? This discussion has given me the motivation to create new costumes for little people because my closest friend (in my literal world) works in an inner city (very poor) elementary school and uses the costumes I made so long ago for my kids and lends them to children who don't have costumes. They have a Halloween parade and party every year and it's so sad to see the kids without a costume only because their parents (usually just mothers) don't care enough. I think I'll start working on new costumes again as soon as my big move is over. THANK YOU for the motivation!!!!! Oh, I can't wait to see your patio once it's all finished. Maybe you could model some of your turbans and scarves for us.

Glad to hear your chemo is almost over! It is great that you are so creative to make your own headwear. I am very impressed. Hope you are feeling great soon!

I think that I was meant to be a crafter from the time that I was a small girl. I tend to do something that is crafty every single day. This year alone I've crocheted two baby blankets, one for my little niece and the other for the new son of my best friend that lives in Texas. I've also been working on a blanket for on my own bed as well. In addition to that, I also work on life scrapbooks for my children as well.

Sister Let me wish the best of health and everything for you, never think you are alone, i am with you, we are same age, i pray the almighty to give you enough strength to finish the job, it is nice to hear you are back to sewing.. You know sewing is one of my hobby, from old pants and shirts i prepare bags, mats and that kind of stuff only, blessings from Bhuwan
