I don't mean to mend your uniform. I just recently got into sewing garments I find it relaxing and therapeutic. When I go to joanns I go with my wife and have her go to the cutting counter. One time she said in a loud voice across the store you want 2 yard right. I acted like I did not know here. I don't know why I feel like a girl sewing. But I know there a men that do it. Right now I am working on a dress shirt and finished up a dress and pair of pants for my daughter.

There is nothing wrong with a man sewing. My Father and Mother both taught me how to sew. my Dad taught me pattern use whereas my grandmother taught me how to make my own patterns. My Mother taught me how to mix patterns. Seeing isn't "women's work", it's only something women have mostly done. If it's relaxing for you then why does it matter? Not many in today's society have this very important life skill. Be proud you do.

LT (Join to see) lucky you that you know how to create your own patterns. Care to teach? You are completely right! PO2 Corey Ferretti my mom used sewing as therapy after a traumatic experience with anesthesia that left her unable to form words, finish her thoughts, and speak like she once did. After hours upon hours of sewing and watching old movies that she knew the words to, she finally regained her speech back to where she was before. Everyone needs destressors and ways to unwind, and sewing is a great one to do. You end up making a useful product and it isn't harmful to your health like smoking.

I agree, sewing is therapeutic! Perhaps you could use the word "taylor" since you are a man. : ) Great job on the dress!
