Can you cook and sew? (Page 3)

I've made a Halloween costume (including a tutu and cape- Wonder Woman) and curtains and a few other things sewing by hand.  I do still bring pants out to be hemmed- I'm just worried about ruining the pants and for $10 my seamstress makes them look perfect.  I could do it if I had to.  I cannot operate a machine.  I just make massive knot balls and wreck whatever I'm working on.  I have no idea why.  DH says I have a bad machine- but he can make it work.

I can cook okay.  I made an awesome turkey for Christmas when I tried filling it with oranges as I read somewhere.  It was by far the most moist turkey I have ever had- the steam from the oranges must help.

Tonight I made these http://www.instructables.com/id/Perfect-Oven-Sweet-Potato-Fries/#st... are by far the best sweet potato fries I have ever made and very easy.  (We also had chicken sausages, steamed asparagus and carrots.)  I don't cook fancy food- but we don't eat fancy.

I love to cook and do so often.  Right now I'm trying to perfect my omelet skilz.

I also sew.  As a Boy Scout, I sewed my own patches.  I still do that for myself and my son.    I am in charge of sewing machine maintenance here.  My wife got a Bernina 430 for her quilting last year.  That thing is AWESOME.  I have yet to use the free-motion foot for sewing patches... I think it will make it MUCH easier.

You might have to adjust the tension differently on the thread - I have a machine that worked great, then got out of adjustment and made knots and tangles, until I adjusted the tension again (after months of frustration not realizing what had happened).

yes. I cook (vastly improved over the past 5 years) and I sew (that I can make costumes, simple dresses, occasionally something more intricate).

recently remarked with a woman in the fabric store how sad it was that sewing is now a hobby rather than a necessity (therefore the prices for supplies are much higher).

I absolutely love to cook and bake - specialize in gluten free, vegetarian and vegan dishes.

This year I made an entire pre-Thanksgiving dinner for me and my boyfriend (complete with raw vegan cheesecake with cranberry topping) - and had so much fun. I was dismayed to find out my family Thanksgiving was coming directly from a grocery store (pre-packaged potatoes from a bag and all) but I had no control over it. I just made a vegan potato soup that absolutely hit the spot on this blustery cold day. Yum.

As for sewing - I can sew on a button or hem a pant in an utter emergency (would rather use fabric tape for a hem but I could do it with a needle/thread if I had to), but that's about as far as I go. My great grandmother taught me to crochet as a child but I've since lost that skill.

Cool story about your daughter and the taters.

I cook, love to cook actually and am pretty good at it. Sewing,,,,,, I don't think you could call what I've done with a needle and thread actually sewing.

One thing that I just can't believe they actually sell are potatoes that are pre shredded for hash browns. Just take a cheese grader and a potato, get fancy and shred a little onion in with them.

I can cook and my wife can sew and cook.

I am also one heck of a cabinet maker. I build 3-4 rocking horse each year for various charities to auction or raffle off. I have also made about 2/3 of the furniture in our apartment, and as soon as wek bite the bullet I will be making ALL the furniture for the house.
