hello fellow dollars. i have notice that there has yet to be a sewing thread on any of the boards and there seems to be a lot of sewers among us. so i thought i would start one and see what fun things we have made. you can also post your sewing problems or tricks. :p

I make my gf's (now ex-gf's) Cosplay costumes

>sewers

Couldn't you use... I don't know... tailors? Or more specific tailor/tailoress (makes male clothes) or seamstress/seamster (makes female clothes).

Anyway, I'm mainly a designer and seamstress. I'm horrid at making male clothes. When I get home, I'll take some pictures of what I have made :O

Tailor is used generally for males/females for making both male/female clothes, but it technically defines people who make clothes for guys.

>>3 i don't care.
>>2 great work on the costume. I will be posting my creations soon.

last years craft fair. i do quilts, purses and sew much more.

>>6 Well, if you don't mind referring to yourself as a shallow waterway full of shit, then you can call yourself a sewer all you like :L Who am I to try and make you sound like something a bit more sanitary?

>>7 I really like the quilts ^^ I'm not particularly good at quilting. I try, but... yeah :l Doesn't end well.

Do you do your quilts by hand or machine?

>>8 I used the word sewers because I didn't want just go for one thing. Tailors and seamstress' mainly do clothing. There are different people making different things. I myself am a Quilter,Upholster,Tailor and a Milliner.I had started this thread to encompass all forms of sewing,not to start a war on words.I am glad that you like my quilts and just know that every quilt has its own personality. I do most of my work by machine.

>>9 True, but there's nothing wrong with referring to yourself using several terms. In any case, it's not really an accepted term :I There's a reason that the first few hundred results on Google for, "sewer," have to do with sewers and not, "sewers."

I used to use that word when I was younger, but then I realized that it wasn't really a word ._. And it's not much of a word war. Just pointing it out, that's all.

I've tried quilting several times, but it never seems to end well :< My problem isn't the sewing, though. I'm just not good at cutting the fabrics/don't have the resources to. We don't have any large, flat tables, nevermind any proper cutting tables; I do the majority of my work on big pieces of wood on the floor LOL /shot

I really want to post some pictures, but I can only get on the computer for a short time at school (since we have no internet at home atm) :| Lemme see if I can get some pictures this weekend transferred to the school computers on Monday.

BarabiSama I can assure you sewers is a word and if you look it up in one of you school dictionarys or google it you will see 1. An underground conduit for carrying off drainage water and waste matter.
2. A person who sews.
Yes if you look up "sewers" on google the first thing to pop up is a sewer systems but there are several words with two meanings. It just depends on the subject you are talking about. I hope that this helps educate you a little. :)

I know what you mean i have barely any space at all and it makes it hard a times to create. You should look into getting a rotary cutter, mat and rulers. I can't wait to see pictures. :)
