Greetings from a lurker... My what a wonderful group of people.  Who could resist a site that provides a fish slap  :loveit:   I see many friends from other sites and am glad to see them here.

I live in Virginia, where once it was farm land, but now is home to creeping suburbs.  Hot and humid in the summers, raw and bone chilling damp in the winter.  So we travel.  Offspring in Chicago and Southern California (it is very important to plant offspring where the food is good) means some serious wanderings.

I got fed up with RTW and started sewing most of my clothes years ago... I'm getting better at it.

Hi Bookish! :drink: :cake:  Nice to have you unlurk here! Yes, they hooked me with that  :fish: too. Very friendly here and lots of amazing inspiration.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

Hi @Bookish.  Good to see you've unlurked.  Don't be shy, now.  I'm only just starting to make clothes so would love to see pics of your makes.

Has someone offered you a  :drink: and a piece of  :cake:?

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Indeed. Nothing like coffee and cake to go with a good  :fish:.

Hi and welcome from me too. I lurked on the previous site but joined TSP as soon as I could - I've never regretted it - it's such a friendly forum. Look forward to seeing what you're making.  :D :frock:

Welcome from me too, Bookish.

All the essentials here, especially the  :drink: but I'm doing my best to avoid the  :cake: (and the :gin: if it comes to that). You're welcome to my share of those.  :D
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.
