Hello! I'm 56 and have loved sewing since pre-teen, in spite of being primarily an outdoors girl / woman my entire life. Meaning, sewing is one of the few things I consider worth being inside for (along with working, as I've always been grateful to work.)

Sewing is a lively, thriving and useful art that takes many forms ... in other words, something for everyone! I don't think we should ever refer to it as a "dying art" because that's just not true.

And ... because if people with curiosity (regardless of age and gender) see that too often, they might get discouraged and lose interest. We want to encourage interest obviously, as all of you here do. I love making everything from lingerie to outdoors gear, it's all fun :-)
