Left without power and a sewing table , I was only able to work on the hand sewing for the pieces that had at least been machine stitched -- not many since I had decided to work in smaller batches ! Fortunately , we were able to camp out in my in - laws living room for the week , but my toddler , even though very excited by this odd vacation of sorts , was completely thrown off by the lack of routine . I had to nap with him every day and only had an hour or two to sew each night . It was crazy !
