sewer of clothes
So lately I’ve been using designer. Sound even dirtier than a sewer, maybe? So it got me to thinking…what do you call a person who sews?and there’s nothing wrong with that word…except that I don’t think it’s a real word. I don’t want to downplay it, because it has become an integral part of who I am. :o)I wasn’t aware of the term “sewist” seems sort of corny to me. I truly never thought about it and never saw sewer as a sewer.I will always consider myself a sewer,but I LOVE Lisa’s “Fabric Goddess”!!! I agree with Toni, the word in context makes sense. And, according to Webster’s dictionary, sewer is a noun for someone who sews. Although, I just looked up “seamstress” and found another term: needlewoman.
If they ask what type of seamstress, or what type of sewing then I tell them I sew a little of everything.I guess I just usually say “I sew” or I make clothes… because it seems to pigeonhole you to say things like seamstress, and tailor and the like. Please ask permission before using a picture of any of our children.
I do not like the stigma that comes with the word crafter. You can too!I respect the right of others to use the term “sewist”, in the same way I can respect others’ rights to put sugar in cornbread or syrup on grits. As it happens, “fiber artist” is used in the art world for artists like art quilters, weavers, paper and book makers, etc. I guess I am always aspiring to be things (as my occupation, I consider myself an aspiring fermentation expert… which means I am a wine, beer and cheese dork… all fermentables but will never actually consider myself an expert. IDK, I don’t think I make it a label as opposed to something that I do. I think now I’ll just say I make stuff with pointy sticks – that seems to cover the gammut!Before the Industrial Revolution a woman who crafted a variety of fabric items for personal or gift use was simply called – A Woman. No good reason—it’s just that every time I read it it sounds to me like a snooty person is saying it through their nose and emphasizing the s sounds.—Try saying it that way, and wrinkle your nose when you do it—annoying!
I know the difference, and I think most people do, too. Because “sewer” is a huge pet peeve of mine. “P.ZZ..” will find “PUZZLE”.)
I guess I’ll go with sew-er?I totally agree- I say sew-er too, but I am sure I spell it sewer and had to read it through several times until I realized your mother thought you were speaking of the thing that Ninja Turtles live in!I have had this dilemma too..until you mentioned “Master and Commander of the Sewing Machine”. Haha.This has been a discussion among grown-up-clothing sewing bloggers for some time, and my favorite has to be Oona’s “sewasaurus rex.” (Then again, that might be confusing on a business card.I really like seamstress. 100% Legitimate.
T-shirts, hoodies, tops, dresses, skirts, and more in a huge range of styles, colors, and sizes (XS - 5XL). It’s imperfect as well, since it doesn’t cover the execution of the designs, but for business cards I think it sounds better.i have no problem calling myself a sewer, my hubby is a master plumber after all and i am very thankful for modern plumbing:) however, i do like it with the hyphen much more.i think i may be using writing it that way from now on.LOL, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought this same thing! I may have to call myself a needlewoman from now on.
I didn’t even catch the “sewer” part when it was on the giveaway post.I’m like EHC – if you hadn’t posted I’d have not even thought about sew-er being read as sewer. I say sewer (sew-er), but I think I type sewist? How about sewiatrix (like aviatrix)? My mom always referred to herself as a seamstress but I guess I’ve never really referred to myself as anything but “I sew”. Oh yes. I am a maker; of modern quilts, clothing and accessories.I have been through exactly the same thought process and now I am no longer content with sew-er even though it is my preferred term. Too funny. We also utilize affiliate marketing within text links on the website and will disclose each link.
