Hello Sewers,
I have been sewing for as long as I can remember.  I learnt on my mum’s Singer treadle and made all my ‘going out’ frocks when I was a teenager on it.  I now sew on a Juki NX7 Kirei a vintage hand crank Singer and a Babylock Evolution.  I sew purely for enjoyment and make clothes and bags or anything that takes my fancy.  I have dabbled with patchwork just making small items not a quilt.  I am now retired so can sew whenever I want.

Hi there and welcome to TSP. I am a garment sewer mainly but have made quilts and soft furnishings as well. I would watch out for those that call themselves the darksiders. They may come along to twist your arm encourage you to make a your first quilt. Look forward to seeing what you sew.

Welcome @Cangysuff  :), your background sounds similar to mine except I made a career out of mine. I sure you're going to love it here.

Welcome @Cangysuff .  I arrived here as a sewer of clothing, bags, curtains etc. I fell into the abyss that is the Dark side. I'm rather hooked!
