I saw this movie poster from 1959 on another sewing blog and it made me think of the "career gals of the 50s". I think I always knew that I would have some sort of career and that it would likely be in the business side of things. I hadn't really factored in the whole "mommy" side of things, however. The other blog asked the question of how others fit in sewing with the challenges of a full-time job, not to mention motherhood.
Right now my solution is to do little bits of sewing or scrapbooking in bits and pieces, usually after the kids are in bed. I have done a little sewing on my lunch hour at work. I find the light in my office is excellent plus my desk is at the exact right height and the office is pretty quiet over lunch so I can stitch uninterruptedly.
I pinned and cut out the the pieces for my skirt tonight and the I think the zipper I picked up at Dressew is the right length.
Right now Sophie is my little muse, so without her, I wouldn't have even considered sewing.
I find even with not working out of the home right now that I can only do my scrapping in bits and pieces. There is just so much else that takes my time and attention around here!
ReplyDeleteBut I think it's important to make the time to do things we love even if it is in those bits and pieces :0)
