I am really enjoying your post and reading how YOU do things. I would love to see some pics of your work station and how you have all your supplies, etc. organized. That seems to be my downfall with keeping fabrics and everything organized, but I am working on it.

I love this. Having fun is so important. I think the thing I am going to take most from this post is streamlining. I’m going to get down to business and get organized.

This is such wonderful information; thanks for sharing! I find myself struggling to find ways to improve my efficiency, which is such a challenge for a disorganized mind like mine. :) You clearly are a highly organized person so your tips are super valuable!

I have done 2 things in the past 2 months that have been a huuuuge help towards increasing productivity. First, I decided to hire someone to help me clean my house. It felt so frivolous, but when I worked out how much sewing I could accomplish in the amount of time it takes me to mop floors, change sheets and scrub bathrooms, I realized I could come out ahead. Secondly, I declared one day a week, as much as it hurts my heart, a non-sewing day in which I can concentrate on errands, laundry, etc. without feeling like I just want to get back to the machine. Then on the other days I can focus even more on work.

Just my two cents. You have given me so much more to think about! THANK YOU! :)

Thanks, this is a great post! It’s so cool of you to share what you’ve learned. Your energy and optimism are contagious and inspirational – it’s what keeps me coming back to your blog. In addition to the fact that your pouches and totes are so darn cute! Makes me want to start a business already…

Thanks so much for posting this informaton! I’m just beginning in the blogging world and have started to teach myself to sew. I learned simple things at one point, but have forgotten some. I have a desire to bring the hope of God to others through blogging about life, baking, and crafting. Your ideas have pointed me in directions of different things to check out and learn about blogging, etc.

I will definately check out Google Docs and I’m still figuring out Google Reader….how to link everything together to make it easier and more efficient. *Definately some learning moments there! And some things I see I can/need to change. Looking forward to the next post!

Thanks and Blessings!

Your posts have been really helpful! I’m new to sewing and loving every minute of it! (I’m mostly a knitter!) If I ever decide to start a shop, I’ll be sure to post these guidelines on my bulletin board next to my calendar. :]
