[I_luv_Kalan_Porter]

Does n e 1 like 2 sew? I luv it! I have been sewing 4 about 4-5 years. Right now I am working a woven jean pillow. I used my old jeans that don't fit me n e more. It is alot of fun.

There are a few of us on this board. I've been sewing for about forty years (give or take). I just finished an evening gown costume for the first act of the Nutcracker ballet. I have a couple other projects on the go -- pretty much I always do. My church needs a new altar frontal for Christmas Day, so I guess that's the next urgent project.

I noticed that your favourite hymn is "Here I am to worship". That's one of my favourites, too.

I love to sew. Any project is just dandy to me. Clothing, costumes, home decor, and craft projects! I have been sewing for a few years now. Still learning every day but loving every moment!

I make a lot of costumes, so I sew quite a bit. I've only been sewing for a few years, but I'm getting the hang of it. I hope I can get better at it in the future. =)

My mom was the 1 who first wanted me 2 take sewing classes. I didn't want 2. Now I luv it!!!!

I love to sew, been sewing for over 30 years. For some people it's frustrating, but to me, it relaxes me.

I never realized how difficult sewing isn't. I have only been sewing for about 3 months. My first clothing project was a swag skirt for my 4 year old sister. It is cute. I got complements on my work. I am very proud of myself, and thank the Lord for His work in it too.

I enjoy sewing, and have done it for many years, since high school...and that was ages ago! The more you learn, the easier it is.

I taught myself to sew, my mother hates to! I love the fact that I can wear things that I created from scratch, I don't use patterns. I suppose because I hand sew that things are more fragile, but I generally make tops and bags etc for one off occasions or as a project, I don't mind too much if they need repairing.

 

[I_luv_Kalan_Porter]

Is it tuf 2 make ur own patterns,sunshinejenii??? The only thing I don't like about sewing is hand sewing. I would rather use a machine n e day.

I love to sew, but I especially love to quilt. Is there anyone else who likes to quilt?

 

[sunshinejennii]

I don't really think it all through. Bags and thigns are easy, even round ones, because it's only a few pieces. The only others things I make are tops, which aren't too hard, I know in my head a basic shape and since my body hasn't changed much I just tack it and try it on and then alter it. I put them on inside out, pin where I want it to be and then take it off, tack a line, try it on again. I'm quite scientific with everything else i my life but here it's all trial and error, just in case i completly mess up none of the material is very expensive and I always start with too much material so I can unpick and rearrange it. I also do a lot of alterations. For example I was going through my dad's wardrobe and found a great shirt, it's got an amazing pattern, it's too small for him so I took it in for me.

I wish I could sew better. My machine is going weird, something w/ the bobbin and bobbin casing. But, I love to try. I've made doll clothes, cloth dipes, I just started on a jumper for my daughter, and a quilt, and a duvet cover for me. But I am not so good, just passable.

I love sewing maching too. I make two square with quilt blanket for my sister. It is many different of kind with snooby, angel, taz, pokemon, flower, pooh and his friends, etc...

However, I still learn a beginner on first time.

I forgot to say, I taught myself how to sew. My mom hates to sew. Her idea of sewing was to pucker up the fabric, like she was folding a taco, LOL, and sew along the edge. I always took mine to grandma so she'd fix it.

 

[Stefania777]

why is it all girls that sew? I don't know how to knit, and I really would love to learn.
