Thoughts on the Sewing Machine

[TWB]

I still don't undersand how they work.

Does anyone make their own clothes anymore? I hem stuff, but I have not made anything.

(Real men aren't afraid to admit they sew, btw).

i really want a sewing machine (helpful when i just cant find anything to wear!) but im skint right now so...imaginitive winding of cloth it is. woe is me...

I can replace a button, but that's about it.

I have a friend who makes her own stuff, she has a degree in fashion.

I think the only things she buys are knickers bras and socks! Everything else, she sees, she copies.

I am the queen of No Sew - that stuff you iron between two pieces of cloth. It rocks. I've made curtains, hemmed pants, etc...

I don't trust myself with needle and thread...

When I was a kid, my grandma taught me how to use her sewing machine - but it was one of those new-fangled, DIGITAL ones. Like I'm ever going to see one of *those* in my house!

Heh.

And, yes, TWB. Real men aren't afraid to admit they sew. (In turn, though, they wind up doing all of their own sewing!!)

Believe me, it is my business to know this. More and more people are sewing. Especially the younger ones. I love it. they have more creative minds.

And you know what? Men make the best tailors and sewers. They measure and remeasure to be sure. Not trusting the patterns. Woman, for the most part, wing it. Making mistakes and never being happy.

But red-rose. I am the Queen of No Sew.. we must share the title. Glued a skirt once. The whole thing. Unique Stitch.

Washed it four times before a seam started going.
