I quilt and cross stitch. Occasionally I'll make skirts, but I hate making shirts or pants. And I do alterations on clothing.

Unfortunately, with the move, I don't have any photos available to put up at the moment.


quilting is waaaaay too much for me....not sure why...i admire anyone that quilts...i'm all for quick gratification lol

btw, i am happy to report that i now know how to post pictures lol


yeah quilting is crazy. i've seen some absolutely beautiful pieces of art with quilting but i'm too scared to get involved in that one. LOL my head might explode.


you are right, it is most definitely art...so here is one of the things i've made....like i said, i'm self taught...i just gotta copy more pics from the other puter...




Wow, that's really cute.

Yes, I sew for a living. Honest lol. I work for a alteration shop, but also sew for the fun of it. I'd post a photo, but don't know how lol:smile:

I really enjoy sewing. I've been sewing for about 10 years now. I actually started because of costuming and I still make costumes for myself as well as making clothing for dolls.

I made this costume last year for an event (that is me haha.)

I really enjoy it and it can be really challenging. I mostly do costume sewing but I do sometimes make clothing for myself. I also really enjoy making accessories and things. It's nice to see some other seamsters about!

Don't you even! It's quite cute and I love the fabric you used.

Thank you for the compliments! Definitely practice. I got a crash course in sewing from a neighbor but most everything else I learned myself but I am still learning all the time.

I taught myself how to sew, just bought the machine and got at it. I have made dresses, shirts and pants, my favorite leather trench coat to go with my Halloween costume, wall hangings, pillows, blankets, quilts, swim suits, a simple but very beautiful wedding dress for my gf, basically if it could be done I gave it a try. The only thing that I didn't try yet is a stain glass wall hanging. I saw one that I wanted to challenge myself to make. I got into it because I didn't want to pay the ridiculous prices in the stores. I love it all.

That's something I want to learn. It's practical, takes skill, and has some artistry.

Any lonely seamstress in Tampa care to teach?

I sewed clothing (primarily) when I was younger and then started quilting as a young adult. I even had a business that featured round decorative and art quilts...



But also have "blanket" style quilts and they DO get used, washed, dried, etc.



(Sorry if I hogged up too much space!)

I can cross stitch, sew designs, work a sewing machine, and repair clothing, thank goodness!

I used to cross stitch a lot more then I do now. But I do love making these things called, 'Sock dolls', which are fun!
