Our kiddos don't comment too much about what I wear. It is the threads clinging everywhere that they give me a bad time about. Threads and the pins in my shirt or vest or whatever!

Shorts and a tank top in the summer and usually a tank top and flannel bottoms in the winter.

capri's and tee in the summer, jeans and sweatshirt in the winter. NO SHOES--can't sew with shoes on.

My kind of clothes I only dress to go to town or meetings.I like comfortable :-D

ROFLMBO!!! my dh will eat dry cheerios for dinner without complaint.. always has...(his mama raised her boys right!)

but if i ever ask him what he want when we both get home from work, his answer is and always has been..."ARE THE KIDS GONE?!!!"

our old house has no heat upstairs, which is where my sewing room is, so sometimes leggings & sweats in the winter...but dh put up some track lighting on the collar ties for me & they generate a good amount of heat.. plus the iron, so after an hour or so, it warms up some & i take the sweats off...usually dd is up there with me going "jeez ma!"

in the summer, it is ungodly hot, so i have this nasty old beach coverup i wear a lot & dh put in a 52" ceiling fan...

i arranged the room so my sewing table is right under the fan , dd & ddil get whatever breeze they get...seems fair, neither of them have hot flashes! lol

Amen! When I am going to sew for the day, I just stay in my pjs, so comfortable to sew in and relaxing. So what you wear, is just fine!

I get up and sew but since I sleep in the buff,I have to put on jammies(so I dont scare my pets)and if anyone comes over I tell them I only buy jammies.

I am so happy to know I'm not the only one!!! Comfort is the key.

ROFLOL yeah agree - definitely a self mastectomy if not corralled in the hammocks (hubby's name for my bras)

Jeans (bigger than my size) that's what I wear until they've got holes in them and "a blouse" that takes me ages to find -- that's thinning until I find another I love. My husband hates that I won't put on better clothes when people come to visit. My thoughts are that what I have on is "clean" and comfortable. People come up they have to accept what I wear at home.

Jeans, big baggy t-shirt and my "girls" are allowed out to roam free. If I think someone might come over than I'll actually put on nicer clothes and the "girls" are back in the hammocks. I'll even put my socks on, company is coming.

I have always worn very comfortable clothes to sew in...sweats or shorts and a t-shirts. But lately I have been thinking that I need to stop wearing the elastic waist pants and shorts. My waist is expanding along with the elastic. Time to take control and I think that fitted pants might make me think twice about snacking while sewing.
Just a thought......

Scrub bottoms and t-shirt or sweat shirt depending on the weather even when family, friends, or customers come by--as long as its clean/neat. The jeans are saved for "dress-up" along with a short or long-sleeved shirt. Casual is my lifestyle, I dressed for too many years when I was teaching school.

It is so cold here in Utah already....sweats and a long sleeve knit shirt. Warm socks and my Birks! Have to be warm and comfy to sew!

Jeans and tees with a sweatshirt or hoodie available if it gets too chilly. Capris and tees in the summer. I could easily spend every day in jeans, my all time favorite. All the years of dressing up for work makes retirement dressing all the more special.

Comfy is the name of the game when sewing.....makes it even more pleasant than it already is. I mostly wear stretchy capris and either a tank top or short sleeved tee shirt and almost always barefoot (it is usually warm here all the time). If cooler, slippers go on. A good cup of java or a glass of wine completes the ensemble. :D

My warm weather uniform is comfy shorts & t-shirts & flip-flops (or knee sox if the A/C is freezing my legs); my cold weather uniform is sweatpants/shirts & thick sox & thick padded slippers. Except for when I need to go somewhere, (like grocery shopping) I keep the same clothes on until my next shower (which is often enough so that I & others can stand to be near me at all times). I never know what time of the day or night that I'll require a power nap; I'm not changing my clothes for those naps (which can sometimes last all night!) With these 2 standard uniforms, I am always prepared ... for naps, for housework, for sewing, for trips to the paper box & the mailbox, etc.

And a p.s.: I do have grungier clothes/footwear that I wear when I must go outside with my gardening tools & play in the dirt.

Oh my. I love this forum and all you quilting sisters. Seems the majority are of the same opinion as me COMFORT first.
For me Summer Knit shorts, tank top and definitely NO SHOES
Winter Jeans or sweat pants, favorite old sweatshirt, had it for years. on my feet my favorite UGG boots.
I'm up and at the gym at 6.30 am five mornings a week. Usually need to shop on Saturday but occasionally on a Sunday I'll stay in night clothes for a while. Luxury

Depends on season for me... Cool season ~ Jeans and Sweatshirt or sweater. Summer shorts and tanktop..

I generally like to wear a crisp white blouse, pressed skirt and pantyhose. Yeah, right. My heart is warmed to know that all over the country women are slobbing around like I am in jammies or sweatsuits. I told my husband "10 PAGES of women who dress for the day like I do!"

I'm usually in a tee shirt and jeans/shorts depending on the season and barefoot if I'm using one of the electric machines or flip flops with one of the treadle machines.

once i get home from work, i dress for comfort. that means barefeet, t shirt and pj bottoms, short or long depending on the weather.

I am just like you!!!....and if someone comes to the door no matter who I don't answer it....lol When I am quilting I am usually in something comfortable like jammies...lol And boy does the time go by so fast...don't know where it goes!

I actually do wear my jammies, the ones I slept in the night before. I love to quilt when I actually have a whole day to do it. Why waste time with changing clothes and showering ;)

I hear yah!!! and do the same....lol

Hey, I am with you, the more comfortable I am the better I sew! Who cares what your wearing, its your house, and its your business!
Besides, when you are creating a masterpiece, one of a kind quilt, the creator has to be in their own, comfortable zone!

I wear whatever I happen to have on except shoes. I absolutely cannot sew with shoes on. I need to feel the foot pedal.

i sew in my comfy clothes which are usually sweats and t shirt or shorts and a t shirt no shoes !! cant seem to sew with shoes on

I like to wear an old pair of sweats and t-shirt. Gotta be comfortable.

I'm with all of you ladies. Comfy loose jean, jams and t-shirts and sometimes, pjs and robe or just robe and undies minus the bra.

LOL you don't have to kid! I think there are alot of us that if given the day, we will stay in our jammies all day until we absolutely have to get dressed. When DH goes out of state (which is VERY seldom) I may not get dressed for 2 days! I'm here by myself, no one here to smell good for!

Hey great idea, I'm always covered in threads where I have had to pick out yet another seam. When I get up to go to the bathroom, my floor is covered with threads and ravelings. also sew in what ever I put on that is comfortable. usually shorts and tee shirt.

and don't forget your boa!

Nothing special. Shorts in the warmer weather. Now that it's turning cooler I usually wear jeans, sweats or a warm-up/jogging suit.

Me too!

Oh this thread is funny, the guys should love reading it!

I wear shorts and tee in the summer and usually pj's and my fuzzy robe in the winter.

It is important to be comfortable while at the cutting board/sewing machine.... whether at home or on retreat! :-)

Jeans and a tshirt. Lovingly covered with dog and cat hair and my own as well as a colourful assortment of stray threads.
Oh, and the fan on. It is the time of life in which I have power surges so it keeps me from stripping.

what ever I wear its usually covered with little pieces of thread!
