What am I?



One who knits is a knitter.
One who paints is a painter.
One who writes is a writer.

I like to sew. So, this makes me a .....? Anyone? Anyone?

Sewer (n): underground conduit for transporting human waste

    Thats hilarious HB - never thought of it like that. Maybe you are a seamstress but that sounds awfully old fashioned.

    Well, if you like op-shopping you could say we make things out of other people's 'human waste.' : )
    Ewwwww - that's gross!

    I always love the fact the sewer (as in one who sews) and sewer (as in poo) are the same word...he he he

    Great minds think alike because this very question was bouncing around in my head. I just couldn't find such a funny way to ask!

    I struggle with this constantly. sewer? craftie? crazy textile purchaser who occasionally sews things together?

    Lol...a question for the ages. We need to come up with a new term, and the spread it through blogland, so it can enter the vernacular. :p

    Always learning!
    Till now for me a sewer was the one who sews...and now...

    You know: what stresses me more writting in English is making some kind of mistakes or using a word with double sense and that doesn't appear a kind soul to correct me!
    Grammatical mistakes everybody excuses, I think
