Sewing is my creative outlet, and although I find it relaxing, it can also be intensely painful and backbreaking. I'm working on a shirt for my husband right now (he didn't ask, I offered. I want to build up my skills), and because I was working with a few new to me techniques, the muslin took a lot of work. And my back was sore for a few days as a result. I'm 28 weeks pregnant, sewing is more painful than it used to be! If I want to make you something, I will. But realistically, I am sewing for me and my family at most. This isn't my profession, it's my hobby, and I want it to stay that way. At least for now.LaraGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165353418854217508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-55152256523769745412014-08-10T06:44:51.757-05:002014-08-10T06:44:51.757-05:00"if I just bring you fabric- you could just m..."if I just bring you fabric- you could just make me a ____ like that one _____has'<br />Because these are usually friends, I hate to just flat out say- <br />'you will buy too little yardage of a crap fabric not understanding what is needed, plus- you don't look like Olivia Wilde, so don't blame me- my Singer doesn't have the voodoo foot attachment?!'prttynpnkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513331416653286924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-13495841217995075872014-08-09T05:06:58.981-05:002014-08-09T05:06:58.981-05:00I'll help my mom or The Geek, but I've onl...I'll help my mom or The Geek, but I've only helped a couple of other friends; one was a quick 5 minutes I did while we talked. Now if people ask, I smile and tell them I don't mend my own clothes (because I'd rather start over) and it would be faster if they took it elsewhere. And we have lots of those places here in town.Soxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264864517875161020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-66665547993386503212014-08-09T02:04:05.870-05:002014-08-09T02:04:05.870-05:00I will make things for my mother and mend odd thin...I will make things for my mother and mend odd things for my husband - he is very good though, and only wants me to do simple things, complex jobs he takes out as he thinks my time could be better used sewing for myself. Anyone else, it is a firm no. Unless they want to come to my house and do jobs for me!Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-58638265224586565432014-08-09T01:28:20.155-05:002014-08-09T01:28:20.155-05:00I've been asked, and sometimes for close famil...I've been asked, and sometimes for close family I'll do it, but luckily my mum sews as well and my MIL knows how so it's normally only my brother and possibly BIL who ask. I have enough to do keeping my kids and husband clothed though. Then there's the random requests for handknitting to which the answer is always no and one person once asked me to handspin a jersey lot of yarn; thank goodness nothing came of that one!Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06409673383518447394noreply@blogger.com
