No, but my Daughter does, my mom taught her how.
Posted By: EdM Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
Very much so. She teaches it via 4H to a number of young girls as well.
Sews and quilts. Has a longarm quilting machine with the computer drive? She makes some beautiful quilts. Has about a dozen sewing machines of different styles. Sha has one that is a Sail-Rite machine, I believe that sucker would sew sheet metal. Also crochets and Tats. Tatting is making doilies and such for end tables and such. Tools leather, makes some neat stuff, including a couple of holsters. Knits also.
She's an over achiever.

Wife is a quilter also. Most evenings she is quilting and I'm reloading.

I dont recall quilting being cool at any time? Call me newfangled I guess.
Posted By: benchman Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
Yes. She made most of her own clothes as a teen . Her hands don't work so well anymore, but shes still pretty good!
Posted By: sidepass Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
She does! Principle women's draper for the San Francisco Opera costume shop retired. An artist with fabric. And I don't ask her to sew my stuff very often.
Posted By: Joel/AK Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
Yup. She doesn't like it but she does. When she was a taxidermist, she hand sewed rugs....burned her out

Yes she use to, 40+ years ago when we were dating she hand made camo shirts for me. Back then it was rare to find any in tall so she made me several.

My wife doesn’t do [bleep] but spend my money.
Posted By: MAC Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
Yes. Mine does all sorts of sewing and crafts. I dont have a problem with it since she takes care of a lot of birthday and Christmas gifts that way
Posted By: 10gaugemag Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
Negative.

If it needs sewn I do it. Learned how as a kid messing with repairing hunting clothes or customizing hunting gear.

Daughter does but is no longer under my roof.

When my mother died, I gave her 1950s Singer sewing machine to the sewing machine store to find a new owner.
Posted By: hanco Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
Yes, makes a lot of clothes, Halloween costumes
Posted By: wabigoon Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
MY Wife made her own, and daughter's wedding dress's.

Does my wife sew?

So-so.
Posted By: CRJ1960 Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
The wife quilts and my daughter makes most of her own clothes. She made her wedding dress and used the same material to make her husband’s tie.
Posted By: JMR40 Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
Yes, and she's damn good at it too.
Posted By: smarquez Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
She's got a newer machine. She made a few Halloween costumes for my kids, some clothes but now it's just repairs and very basic projects.
Posted By: cra1948 Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
My wife likes to sew and is quite accomplished at it, as is her mother. The problem is, she is currently working two jobs and doesn't have any time for the things she likes to do.

My little Chinese gal can pretty much do anything she wants. She gets on YouTube and before you know it, the furniture is covered in elaborate doilies, there are braided rugs all over the floor, scones in the oven, and paintings on the wall. Now she’s learning to play the guqin, an ancient Chinese 7-string instrument. Taught herself to use an ancient Singer once belonging to my stepmother. No interest in making clothes, but she hems pants and fixes stuff as needed. She helps me skin deer, cleans the fish we catch, and since I’m nursing a bum knee, she even helped me drag three deer out of the woods this past season.

Nine years of wedded bliss (mostly) as of today.

Yes, mine is always up in her sewing room sewing. It’s a side business. She does alterations for wedding dresses, prom dresses, and that sort of stuff. There’s always a parade of young ladies coming through the house and I get kicked out I have to go down to the shop for a while.

Four Serger Sewing Machines. 10 regular sewing machines. Embroidery machines. She can get whatever she wants. She runs a store and makes kuspuks which are the traditional Alaska Native hoodie. She can pretty much do anything related to beading, pottery, painting, sewing, crafting, jewelry making. I am not bragging. During summers, you can find us at her giftshop/boutique The Little Willow in Pioneer Park.

My grand mother was the last woman I knew that was good with sewing
She worked hard at a local sewing factory trying to take care of my dumb ass
She was a wiz with needle in hand or on the machine
Wish I could tell her how wonderful
She was

I remember when Mrs. Vern Varenhorst had a column in the Storm Lake paper titled, "Sew What".
Posted By: 5sdad Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/15/24
My wife "rips" where she does not "sew".
Posted By: RayF Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/16/24
Get her to sew dat.
Posted By: wabigoon Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/16/24
My Wife's mom used to sew both JC Penney's, and Levi jeans at Alfs.
Posted By: jackmountain Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/16/24
She does. Makes a lot of neat things, and gives her a lot of joy.

Yep. "Nothing. It's fine.". Oh, I misread the title. It is "sew" not "stew."

Posted By: Kodiakisland Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/16/24
Yes, multiple machines including a long arm and two rooms full of fabric.
Posted By: Dinny Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/16/24
Interesting how the letters c and r could change the word sew to mean something so very different.
Posted By: Torqued Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/16/24
Naw, she don't sew.
Wish she did sometimes, but she's to busy as it is between 4 teenage girls, the ol folk's she takes care of and myself.
Posted By: Higginez Re: Does your wife sew? - 01/16/24
My wife, my mom but mostly my dad.
