It brings such joy to create beautiful things.Pyrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601860506936561326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-37645579298603042932008-04-21T12:07:00.000-04:002008-04-21T12:07:00.000-04:00"Kindred spirits" is exactly right!

Stores don't know the vision I have in my mind, the cut, the color, the hand. The ability to begin with a cut of fabric and finish with a well-made, stylish, unique garment that fits me perfectly is empowering. And I love being able to connect with other women, like you, that feel the same way, regardless of location, age, or other boundaries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126043161321731207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-39812012465952215932008-04-20T20:27:00.000-04:002008-04-20T20:27:00.000-04:00Sewing is the only thing I do that has no boundari...Sewing is the only thing I do that has no boundaries, and doesn't require a reason. I, too, sew for the sheer (shear?) pleasure of creating.

Years ago I belonged to the New Hampshire Dressmakers Guild and that has been the only other time I have found kindred spirits. Now we can go on line an commiserate all we want almost whenever.

I have a hard time explaining that I do it because I love it - not just for a special occasion.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-15595169393035772152008-04-20T02:54:00.000-04:002008-04-20T02:54:00.000-04:00I'm with you, Bunny.
