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?

    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

    My sewing machine is called a Janome "Sewist"....feel free to use that term instead of stinky poo pipes!

    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
