ReplyDeleteI sew more in the summer just because there are more hours in the day and it's a little bit cold in my workroom in the winter.
Thank you!

Definitely more time sewing in the summer as it gets really cold in my sewing room during winter (unless I move the machine into the lounge room).
ReplyDeleteI haven't started yet. I tend craft more in the winter.

I sew more in the winter since school is in session and I am *free* from 7:30am until 2:30pm to fill my days! Thanks for the chance to win this book!
ReplyDeleteI sew most when my husband is gone - he is deployed now so my nights are free

ReplyDeleteI sew more in the winter... In the summer I am so busy entertaining my kids :-)
ReplyDeletenydia@add-crafter.com
I don't really know when I sew more but I imagine it's the winter because I travel a bit more in the summer.
ReplyDeleteWinter for sure - summer is running, hiking, biking, and beach season :)
ReplyDeleteI do more sewing in the summer. I am in school during the fall/winter which doesn't leave a lot of time for sewing. If I had my way, I would be sewing all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of bi-polar when it comes to sewing. I'll go through a period where I'll sew a ton and then I'll put it down and won't pick it up again for months. I think I sew the most in the summer because I have less going on with the kids out of school. Thank you for the opportunity to win
ReplyDeleteI just sew all the time. I LOVE it!

ReplyDeleteI probably sew a bit more in the winter, mainly because I make gifts for Christmas. I should try getting those done earlier in the year, though!
ReplyDeleteI sew only in the winter, summer is for crochet, hee hee!
ReplyDeleteProbably more in the winter which is odd because I actually have less time in the winter...
ReplyDeletei definitely sew more in the winter because it's gift giving season. I also spend more time indoors so it's conducive to sewing!
ReplyDeleteProbably least in summer and winter because of extreme temps and summer is when you want to be outside.
ReplyDeleteI really wouldn't know! Obviously I am out and about more during summer but I tend to make up for it in more productive sewing spurts. During the winter I like to curl up on the couch more which means I'll be either hand sewing or working on some crochet.
ReplyDeleteI think I sew more in the winter. When it's warm out and the sun is shining I feel guilty if I am inside sewing!
ReplyDeleteI do more in the winter where it is nice and warm. :)
ReplyDeleteowensolivia@hotmail.com
Probably winter because it's cold outside!
ReplyDeleteI definitely sew more in the winter. I've got a lot of yard and a lot of plants that need my attention more in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI sew all the time, Summer, Winter, Spring, Fall, I don't discriminate ;) This book is on my wishlist, thanks for the giveaway! Hopefully I'll be able to cross it off :)
ReplyDeleteI'd say the season doesn't make much of a difference. I do enjoy binding in the winter--then I can snuggle under the quilt while doing the hand stitching!
ReplyDeleteI'd say winter because in the summer the kids are out of school and require all my attention.
ReplyDeleteI sew more in the winter because it is dark earlier and takes a lot more work to get bundled up to go outside.

This book looks amazing! I sew more in the winter because my sewing room gets a little too warm in the summer.

ReplyDeleteNow that I have a sewing room and a fenced backyard for the kids, I'd say summer. Here's hoping I get to spend lots of time sewing this summer!
ReplyDeleteGenerous giveaway! I think I sew more in the summer, because my sewing room is in the basement and in the winter it gets really cold down there, lol :) Thanks for the chance!

ReplyDeleteI spend a lot more time during summer because I'm on school vacations !
ReplyDeleteIt depends because I sew in waves. Right now, summer might win this year!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
Summer for sure. I do my knitting in the winter. I do not know why but i think it has to do with the flow of the fabric and not being as warm to work with as yarn is.
ReplyDeleteSummer - I seem to enter a hibernation phase in winter, and I tutor during term time so have no time in winter either!
ReplyDeletein the summer because of the longer daylight hours.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!

ReplyDeleteIn the summer! I find the winter busy with Christmas, and we always get sick. Summer is hot here and I like hang out inside with my machine. ;0)
ReplyDeleteI think I sew about the same amount year round. It just depends on my MS and how I'm feeling. I spend a lot of time inside, out of the heat, in the summer which gives way for more sewing machine time!
ReplyDeleteI probably sew more in the winter, spring and fall. Our home doesn't have AC, so sewing when it's hot can be not fun!
ReplyDeleteI sew more in the summer because I teach sewing camps! Non=stop sewing fun!

ReplyDeleteThis book is on my wishlist! Thank you so much for the chance to win it! I sew all year round but I've found recently that I'm more productive in the summer than the winter. I think it's cause I love to be outside when it's cold but not when it's hot.
ReplyDeleteI would say it's pretty even - in winter, I do mainly machine sewing....in summer, I do mainly hand stitching.
ReplyDeletetough call... I sew lots of gifts in the winter, but have more time for fun sewing and experimenting in the summer
ReplyDeleteI sew more in the winter because the weather makes it difficult to get distracted outside.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway opportunity!

Definitely the winter. It's too cold to do anything else.
ReplyDeleteI definitely spend more time sewing in the winter. It's so nice outside in the summer, and my daughter is off school, so I can't really justify staying in the house sewing all day. Unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI spend more time in the summer because I was a student recently (and had off then) and now I'm a teacher!

ReplyDeleteI craft and sew more in the winter because summers are always more busy with travelling.
ReplyDeleteOh haha, that's a funny question -- I thought I would say the winter because there's nothing else to do, but there's so much more daylight in the summer (and I almost never sew with indoor lighting). So...not sure? But hey, thanks for your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm a summer sewer, I sell at a farmers market so that is a busy time of year. Once winter comes I take a break!
ReplyDeleteI sew more in winter, because my yard isn't fenced in (yet!)so I can't really sew outside and chase my toddler, but I try to stay out there as much as possible with my son! In winter I sit around on the couch and sew all the time it seems :)

Probably more in the winter, but anytime i can squeeze it in with 2 little girls :)
ReplyDeleteI love to sew in the winter because I live in sunny Barcelona in Spain and the weather is so good in the summer that I love oing out!

I sew more in the winter! in the summer I like to work in my garden!
ReplyDeleteI think I spend more time sewing in the summer. I have more energy in the summer, winter can be too dreary and zap my energy and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteTough question. I think I sew more in the winter as I'm indoors more.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I. Never really thought about it, but I suppose I sew more n the winter just because we're inside more. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI sew more in the winter - during the summer there are more things going on.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am dying to get my hands on that book...
ReplyDeleteI think I spend more time sewing in the summer, because in the winter I spend a lot of time knitting. I don't love having my hands in all that wool when the weather is warm. :) xo

ReplyDeleteWinter, but I don't know why!
ReplyDeleteI sew more in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI have more time to sew in the summer because we homeschool and during the school year, I have to split my time. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteWinter I think, cos the weathers rubbish and I've got less money to go out with or craft fairs to go to!

ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a difference for me, I sew all the time.
ReplyDeleteI sew more in the summer than in the winter! For me, it is a matter of weather; I live in northern Florida, where it is already too hot to be outside most days. My workroom is air conditioned, with sparkle lights rimming the ceiling, and a CD player ready to provide music to sing with as I sew.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower of your blog - so happy that I found you!
