You might be a fake if...
Friday, March 19, 2010 at 5:27PM You have a multifunction sewing machine? Perhaps an embroidery machine? Maybe even a longarm? Does your sewing machine do more than a beautiful straight stitch and several nice buttonholes?
Yes? Gasp!
You are apparently should not consider yourself a seamstress of any kind… but a lowly crafter. You’re a FAKE!
Did you sew yourself a blouse, but (gasp!) trash it up by putting some embroidery on it? Or perhaps you recovered a footstool you found at a flea market, and then sewed a gorgeous pillow with (gasp!) decorative stitches on it to coordinate with your new footstool… well shame on you!
Do you design stunning wall art in the form of quilts? Yep, you’re really a phony now. How tacky of you!
Have you ever been to a Bernina fashion show? Or maybe just drooled over the incredible haute couture clothing by some amazingly talented designers showcased in “Through the Needle? Did you know those designers weren’t serious? They’re just dinking around. Really. That’s not art. Or high-end fashion.
Because they sew on those fancy new fangled machines that do more than a straight stitch, zigzag, and have more than two buttonholes. Yep, that makes them lowly crafters.
Wait until I tell my husband. He’s just going to pass out when he discovers that I will never amount to anything despite the small fortune he’s dumped on my collection of machines… I’m doomed to be a lowly crafter forever!
Puh-lease!
