I returned to sewing when for my 60th birthday my husband suggested we get me "set up" with a sewing "sewing" corner - machines, tables - the whole business :) That was 3 years ago and I've been an avid sewist ever since :) I love to sew! It challenges, excites and amazes me. When I'm not able to get to my sewing for a day or 2 I miss it so much I feel almost depressed! I've started down the path of sewing all my own garments and have learned so much over the past few years about the craft and myself it would take volumes to write about it. I always enjoy reading your blog Faye! Your deep spirituality always shines through in your creativity.PsychicSewerKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911914507722968930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-16533013111654981452017-11-17T08:48:37.128-05:002017-11-17T08:48:37.128-05:00Well you know my reasons. ;) I forgot to mention ...Well you know my reasons. ;) I forgot to mention the cheerleading aspect of the sewing community. You are such a wonderful cheerleader yourself! This is such a unique community, and perhaps we're all teachers at heart wanting to see each other learn and grow and celebrating each step along the way. I know were it not for Patternreview, I would not have learned nearly as quickly. It's amazing to be able to get stuck and unstuck nearly as quickly with the help of people who are so willing to help.Elizabeth Made Thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611395530073290874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-50879124124405492022017-11-16T20:48:42.161-05:002017-11-16T20:48:42.161-05:00Marjie I think you already know I love my connecti...Marjie I think you already know I love my connection to you through your blog.

Sinc...I love sewing and creating wearable fashions. Since I was a teen I always had trouble find things to fit. Back then the small size was a 10 and I was nowhere near that , so I was challenged and had to take up almost everything I owned. My mother, who was a domestic, was always given clothing from those whom she worked for, and there was second hand clothing from relatives and goodwill. We didn’t have a sewing machine so everything was done by hand. I started sewing with a machine in the 7th grade home ec class. I failed that class because I could never get those darn gathers pulled. I kept at it and by high school I could sew by patterns. I made my graduation dress and the dress of my best friend. If I ever blog I will tell more of this story. Now I sew for me and others but it is not a business yet. I am a retired nurse who has spent many years in both clinical and managerial roles. So I have always been working, busy. Manual dexterity is one of my strengths so sewing and manipulating fabric is most enjoyable. <br />This old lady is busy redefining her fashion and style. This is my passion. I love to look good it makes me feel good. This is the creed of all my female elders.

I've also had less time to blog since the fire (and 2 weddings and 3 grandchildren).
