Any sewers out there?

For some reason, my mind jumped immediately to "sewer," like the place where the ninja turtles live, and I was wondering what strange, new slang I'd been missing out on.

I wouldn't say that I'm Martha Stewart, but I'm competent enough to make a full piece of clothing - I've done a catsuit and a top or two, as well as a couple of dresses. Nothing major, but a bit beyond pillow cases. =0 less

I can sew well, even make my own slopers, but I haven't been able to do it in years. I took a theatrical costuming course in college & learned everything from the ground, up. But, I haven't had any fashion sewing training. Still, I can make my own patterns, etc. I wish I had a good sewing machine! But then, I would just be adding another hobby I don't need, when I have so many other interests I never get around to doing!

I, too, thought the discussion was about sewers in the ground & opened it because it seemed odd! less

Me too! I sew pretty often, when I have free time. I just finished a little turtle bag.

This was my very second bag -- the stitching could've been a lot better.


Lol. & here's a stuffed owl I sewed for the little girl.

I am also almost finished with a funky owl dress I sewed -- a bustier top dress. Found the pattern online called "bustier top dress." Lol. Just have to add the zipper now. It's pretty cute & I'm actually a little proud of this one. It's a royal blue color on top & I chose a funky green colored fabric on bottom with owls on it. It's a little strange, but I like it & it's comfortable.

Sewing is a really fun hobby for me & I enjoy making things for people, even though it isn't always a perfect stitching job. it's a blast making clothes & stuff as well. It's kind of relaxing to have a project to sew. less
