What do you think about men sewing?

[Isserty_Dawn]

My husband sews. He is a lot better at reading the patterns than I am. Does anyone think that it is wrong for a man to sew?? Just a curiosity question

No, I don't think its wrong....I have a friend & both her & her husband sew together.

He's affraid of showing his mom the clothes that he has made because he is affraid of what she'll say. The stuff he makes looks store bought. I think he should be proud

It's different than tradition, but that's a good thing in my book. Some traditions are ment to be broken. I wish I could get more men crocheting.

I think it's great if a man can sew. My boyfriend sews, and we like to work on projects together. His thing right now is making homemade stuffed animals. We eventually are going to learn how to knit so we can knit together.

My hubby quilts with me, occassionally. I actually think LOTS of guys do it, so tell your husband to be proud and not to worry about it.

I wish my hubby could sew clothes...I surely can't, lol.

I think that it is great. My 15 year old son has done sewing foe three years at high school and he's getting very good and he's very proud of his achievements and so should your husband.

That's interesting. I know lots of women who have trouble reading maps. Maps and patterns aren't so far apart, I suppose. I'm sure some men have trouble reading maps too (to whomever: no emails about this, please!).

I think it's GREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT for a man to sew. Just think of all the nice things you can have.

Nothing wrong with it in my book either! My hubby can cross stitch and helped me sew some blankies for our son before he was born. In fact he got mad because I started without him! My dad has cross stitched also. There is probably lot of guy closet sewers out there!

It's a wonderful talent! My mother & father both could sew like crazy! Think of all those well known/wealthy clothes designer men/ they sew! When I was in art class one day a young man came up to my table where several of us were talking. He knew someone in our group. He had some clothes designs he showed us. When he left I was told who he was - a well known local who goes international with his designs ! Also, on some of the decorating shows on HGTV I see men sewing ever so often. It is a shame we live in a world that makes a man feel like he might better keep his talent of sewing a secret. I hope your husband will come to feel very proud of his work!

To the poster who mentioned quilts - one of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen was hanging in a museum in Memphis , Tn. and it was done by a man. His tiny stitches put the women's quilts to shame!

I think it is awesome when men sew. They have the courage to do what they love and have been blessed at in a world where some things are viewed as "Womens work" or "Men's Work" and they are just as good and sometimes better than women in their field.

exactly.

I think it's quite...sexy to see a man sew. really! but since I've been sewing since the age of 12.5, I can say I'm pretty good. however, I HATE being in the kitchen.... if I can find a guy who cooks, he's hired for LIFE. LOL

 

[ever_after]

if guys want to sew then why not ?

 

[keeptrying]

Rosie Grier the football great liked to do needlepoint and believe me if you ever saw the size of this man you would know he never got laughed at. I would like to add some of you ladies are lucky women your husbands and sons sound awesome.

I would like to edit that "lucky women" to read "blessed women".

Enjoy it. Less you have to do

The art of tailoring was always a man's job 100 years ago or so, and beyond. There is nothing wrong with it, and it is an honorable profession. The apostle Paul was a tentmaker, if that makes any difference.
