Post by: crfrench on February 25, 2020, 11:39:52 AM

Hello !
I am a 46-year-old French sewer.
I have a passion for beautiful hand-made clothing, pattern making, open source softwares and pattern making softwares ... and I love to talk in English :)
I am already a member of 2 French sewing forums, but I love to read other ressources and English chats are often more active !
So I am very very happy to join you !  :loveit:

I would be glad to post about what I make, but I can't see where I can post what is not bridal, quilting, lingerie, etc., well, what is not 'specialised'. I feel I haven't searched efficiently   :|

You can open your own sewing diary and post there (choices in the wardrobe or P&Q) or in adding zing and bling which is more about embroidery both hand and machine!

Well, you are so friendly and active here, I just wonder why I did not register in an English sewing forum before  :D. Well I am a little bit unfair, as we have a great forum in France too which is named Threads and Needles.

This forum is just a wonderful place and very well organised (which is important for me).

Even if I won't explore everything since I have no skills in certain activities and topics, I will definitely stay and help in the fields I know best !  <3
