Hello Mistresses and Masters
I am C3PO, a humanoid robot. I am programmed to assist in etiquette, customs, and translation, and am fluent in over six million forms of communication. I used to have an important position in intergalactic relations. More lately it has been suggested that my circuits are too slow and I would be better employed helping the residents of a sewing forum. My programming obliges me to comply.
If you would like to see more of me look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPG_G65dKBc
Meanwhile be excellent to each other.

Hello Vegegrow here a 50 something sewist from Sunny Suffolk
Taught by my mother I saved up for my first machine when I was 15 and have been sewing ever since. I sew for customers mostly but that hasn’t stopped me building a huge stash of fabrics. I worked part time in a fabric shop for 15 years which didn’t help with the addiction. Looking forward to talking to friends old and new

I decided on a new username to better reflect my sewing skills. :D
In former lives I have been known as Lady Gresley and less formally as JenJ.
I got a bit bored without TSF (and received part of my inheritance) and splashed out on an embroidery machine and an embellishing machine. Oh, and a chunky knitting machine, and a lovely collection of vintage toy sewing machines :o
I'm not sure I have time to post here now...

Hello everyone,
I've kept my old name even though it's not really appropriate anymore.
For any newbies, I'm a 50+ woman interested in dressmaking (in the past I made a lot of stuff in black velvet and leather, alas no more) and also gardening. The mis-spelling in my name is intentional!
I want to thank MrIminei, MrsIminei and Fran for all their hard work.

Hi everyone.
Tamnymore here. I live in Cheshire but also have links to Edinburgh. I have been sewing for nearly 50 years! I used to love making fancy dress costumes for my children when they were young but now they are grown up they don't seem to want to dress up as Xena the Warrior Princess, Captain Scarlet or Henry VIII any more :(. Much of my sewing involves creations for me to wear but I'm always keen to make things for my family and now that I work part-time I've gone back to curtain making as well. I have an embarrassingly huge fabric stash and, like a lot of people here, I've built up a lot of knowledge, over the years, of where to find fabric bargains - I'm very happy to share that knowledge.Delighted to be here and many thanks once again to Iminei, MrI and all those who who made this lovely, shiny new site happen.

Hello everyone, nice to see you all again Maliw here. Best wishes to all responsible for our new abode etc. Off out now but will be back later, just had to try and log in.

Name unchanged - Ploshkin here, livestock farmer in the Welsh Hills. Been sewing since I was 5 so that's more than 5 decades but not 6 yet. I've always done dressmaking but getting increasingly drawn to the Dark Side

Hi everyone
Deafoldbat reporting for duty - ready to lead you to the dark side...once I figure out all the new bells and whistles here.

Good morning, I'm a tryer :)not always successful as the top on my dress form will attest but I keep going. I'm not a prolific poster but will be logging on daily to check out what everyone is up to

Hello! Thank you to everyone who has set this up, I'm so pleased I now have something to fill my time whilst I'm at work ;D My user previously name was SJN (but just because Samantha was taken)

Hello everyone. I'm Ajuga. Pleased to be here. I have always enjoyed sewing but not done any dressmaking since I was a teenager - long time ago! I seem to spend more time adding to my stash than sewing so must put that right. I also have a 5 year old GD who loves sewing on my old hand crank Singer so am enjoying teaching her.

Yo Peeps! Lowena here, raring to go!. Thanks to F,N and A for getting us going; I'm always willing to pitch in and help where I can.
I am an ex headteacher, originally from Essex, but living now in the Wild West of Cornwall.
Although I am unbelievably 70 this year, I have only been sewing for 5yrs.
I only do P and Q so am always to be found lurking on The Dark Side ( or having a cuppa in the cafe ;) )
Looking forward to chatting to friends... old an new. Onward and Upward 8)

Hi. I have been ridiculously excited about this and then, although I haven't worked all week, I got a call to go into work today. Aaagh.
I am 50 something and live in the West Midlands. I love patchwork and quilting although I am still a beginner. I was inactive on TSF until January when I became addicted to the BOM. I am delighted to be part of this new forum and so grateful to those who made it possible.
-
Hello from me too. A huge thank you to all who have made this forum possible. So glad to be back.

Hello from me .a huge thank you to everyone getting this forum going

Hello everyone, supergran here. Originally from the north east, I spent most of my adult life on the beautiful Isle of Wight before retiring to Spain. I rarely make clothes because I'm rubbish at it but I love patchwork and quilting, so the dark side is my main port of call.
Thank you everyone who made the forum possible, it's great to be back.

Good to meet you C3PO, I was a computer manager before I retired to enjoy sewing even more so I know what it is like when things crash around you, although I'm sure you will look after us! :)
-
Morning C3PO, good to meet you. Won't be able to give any computer advice, but hopefully will be able to help on the sewing side.
Big thanks to everyone who helped set up this site. Looking forward to meeting up with old and new virtual friends.
