I listen to classical music, nothing with words. I have it on low, just loud enough to hear but not be annoying.

I bring in Pandora stations through my Sonos speaker. I like that I can define my own stations - Relaxation Radio, New Age Beat, Acoustic Guitar, etc.

I listen to audio books - and since I sometimes don't hear the full story due to my sewing machine hum - I love to listen to them over and over sometimes :)!

I like to either have movies I have already seen on in the background, or Pandora stations, and it all depends on what I am working on. If I am working on a project for Christmas or for a Christmas present, I need to have Christmas music or a movie on, even if it is June. Or Halloween music if I am making a fall quilt or decorations. Pandora is great for letting you pick/create your own stations.

What a great topic you have brought up! I have made notes of what all you guys are listening to. I cannot have anything visual going...too distracting, unless I am sitting watching something withi DH and maybe doing some handwork. But in my sewing area (or when cooking), it is podcasts or books on tape. Podcasts are the easiest because they go from one to another (especially when you have not listened a while and they pile up!). Ameria’s Patchwork & Quilting is great...nice to hear from so many quilters, then all the political ones (Left Right Center), Gardening (JoeGardener, A Way to Garden), and cooking (Milkstreet with Christopher Kimball). Love everything you do!! Best, Linda B

Audiobooks. I carry my bluetooth speaker back and forth from room to room as I cut, sew, iron, repeat. My husband and I travel with our camper and the miles fly by with a good book to listen to and my EPP projects in my lap.

I listen to podcasts of Fr. John Riccardo. His inspiring words help me grow in my faith.

I've been watching Game of Thrones while sewing lately...I'm on the last episode of Season 5. I try not to watch the show anywhere but my sewing room so it gives me the impetus to get in there and sew!

I love books on CD’s.

I listen to Classic FM streamed on my iPad. Its a station in London and I enjoy their classical music and love the choral music during the Christmas season. I also enjoy hearing the UK news and weather forecasts for the UK. Haha! I feel like I'm there.

Well, I have to admit I have a very quite sewing room. I sew and work in total quite! Have always just enjoyed the calm .

Always enjoy the posts that share personal tidbits. Quiet usually when I sew, but that is only when retired hubby is running errands. I listen to archived Quilt Cam episodes with Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.com. Otherwise you'll find me listening to NCIS, Turner Classic Movies channel, History Channel, or Dallas Stars hockey; can you tell hubby is home and king of the remote? I don't watch much since I know most by heart. Allison C Bayer Plano Texas USA

I listen to audiobooks most of the time. I have an account with Audible and find I get more done than when I watch TV while sewing - not looking up and getting distracted all the time. But I do also like to binge shows and movies while I sew. I watch everything from Star Wars to Family Guy - I have very versatile tastes in both books and media. It all depends on my mood!

I binge watch old tried and true series on Hulu so I don't have to sneak too many peeks - I know all the voices! I've created channels on Pandora to match many moods when I don't want the visual distractions. Love Bonnie Hunter's Quilt Cam. I'm just starting to venture into podcasts and there are some great suggestions in the comments here, so thanks! I can do audiobooks if my project isn't too brain-intensive. Regardless of what I'm listening to or watching, it's all done via Bluetooth ear buds so it doesn't disturb the dog .

I listen to Christmas music this time of year, but play a mix of all kinds of music on my iPod all year round.

If i am working on something that I need to pay attention to, I don't listen to anything but the whir of my machine (too distracting). When I am chain stitching , I usually have the tv on watch old re-runs. I would love to listen to music, but it's too hard to keep time to the music and use the foot pedle!!!

I either listen to audible books on my tablet or watch Netflix. Hugs,

Most of the time I have Hallmark movies on the TV. The plots are
not too involved and I mostly listen and only look up every once
in awhile. I also watch Young in the Restless or binge watch/listen to
TV shows on Netflix.

Besides Pandora, I listen to college courses through The Great Courses. I'm learning so much about European and American history (my favorite) or religious history and politics. I'm an old nerd, I suppose, but I love learning...and sewing!

I listen to music, podcasts, and sometimes have Netflix on. When I want to be productive, it has to be musci, Netflix is very distracting. I did enjoy getting through the seasons of "Glee" which was more about listening than watching. I used to listen to audio books when I did more machine quilting of big quilts. I think I need to do that again, it lets me forget to be tense and just GO.

Classic FM from England. I am from England so its fun to hear traffic reports and think " I know where that is". Must try the podcasts mentioned here.

I have the TV or radio on.

I listen to books via my kindle text to speech app. But I also get library books, and streaming books which all work great.

I watch Amazon Video and Netflix and diffuse oils while I sew

Music of different sorts, from rock and roll to bluegrass and smooth jazz, mostly songs with words--I love words! I have not gotten into podcasts mostly because I only have hearing in one ear and I think I'd miss a lot what with moving back and forth to cutting table, sewing machine and ironing board! For the same reason, I seldom do any handwork that needs concentration if watching TV or a movie, it jus t gets worked on during the commercials :)

Oh dear. I listen to...music from the Witcher 3 video game that people loved so much they put it on Youtube for an hour at a time. Thank you to those wonderful people who are even more nerdy than I am and spent hours collecting that beautiful music so I don't have to load up an XBOX, load the game, and get the silly character to specific spots in the game so I can listen to the music and sew in peace.
