Funny thing is though, I can pick almost anything off the floor with my toes if I'm barefoot. I hate to bend over! Ha ha :)

I rarely wear shoes inside, flip flops most of the time. Since I'm diabetic I have to have something on my feet.
If I'm sewing with my Featherweight, shoes have to come off so I can find the little button on the foot control.

" HOwever my Momma use to sew bare footed on the tredle machine, she would get her toes over the top of that peddle and she could really make that thing sew.

I sew barefoot when I use my treadle machine and can sew
almost as fast as my electric machines. Treadling is relaxing and I've got more control. Here's a picture of one of my treadle machines.

If slippery you spray the bottoms with hair spary.
Wouldn't wanna slip and fall.
You can make them using one stran of yarn, they would be cooler. I like bare footing but not cold feets.

It is so automatic to me that I have never thought about it before. She went on and on about it and told all of my other SIL. I can't sew with my shoes on. I can do anything I want in my own home, but I am curious to see if anyone else sews barefoot.
