Some examples: If you have an hour to read a book every night before going to bed, then you can cut it in half to allocate the other half to your sewing project, or you can do them alternately. You get the idea.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stick To Your Schedule<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you\u2019ve somehow managed to add sewing to your schedule. Now, you have to learn to stick to it. Do not even think about skipping it because you were not able to finish the chores you have scheduled right before it. Because if you keep thinking that it\u2019s not that important then you\u2019ll always, as in always, gonna find some things you\u2019d think more urgent to do and before you know it your machine and supplies have been seating accumulating dust for several weeks already and you don\u2019t even remember where you left off.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811.jpg\" alt=\"how to find time to sew\" class=\"wp-image-61833 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811-500x335.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/669;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811.jpg\" alt=\"how to find time to sew\" class=\"wp-image-61833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811-500x335.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1188723811-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have An Organized, Dedicated Sewing Area<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will really help that when you finally have the time to sew, you already have all the supplies you need and know exactly where to find them.
