yes. I am not a sewer. There are plenty of other wonderful names than that one.
Still, I know people that say it, and saying it is not really a problem, it is the reading, of course. Seamstress, tailor (am not very good at making clothes though)
My wife was a weaver for a number of years (back in the days of art fairs) I would help her set up her looms (2 4 harness looms and a 12 harness). I would clean and oil her sewing machines. She primarily made clothing with her woven fabric. Later I bought a Sailrite industrial machine and made sails and dodgers and covers for my and others sailboats. So, I am also a sewist, though not so much these days.
I bought an old Singer from a guy in Fairfax (just up the road) Virginia, and met his mom, long story, the Singer was in bad shape. Anyway, I bought it for the table. The son was nice but tried desperately to sell me his Husgvarna machine that he said he made Sails with. It was not a HD machine though, and I really did not need another machine.
Lovely story Robbie. I am bringing two old Singers to a sewing shop in Manassas Virginia later this week, down sizing and I really never liked the machines. I have the cabinets though hahaha
I once bought a very old singer treadle machine. No motor, it had all the extra feet and several spare leather belts. We tried it out and had some fun learning how to use it. Later we sold it to an Amish family. My Sailrite has a monster wheel that increases torque for going through many layers and sewing leather. It also has are moveable handle on the Flywheel to hand crank if you need to. You should check out their website: https://www.sailrite.com/ Mine is an Ultrafeed LSZ. My wife used 2 Berninas. At times she had an employee to help with the sewing, but originally wanted a spare in case her machine had to go in for service.
Well, as a sewist: very nice fabrrrric. I imagine bad cat looks stylin' for ChristCatmas
That view in the back ground .... 🤤 oh my, gimmie
Being a sewist is certainly a mo bettah term than being a sewer.
🤣
