Sew, Sew Much: A Revival: Millersville, Maryland, United States; I'm reviving my blog after a 9-year(!) absence. I like to sew clothes for myself because RTW clothes are built for the average women, which I am NOT. I am statuesque, with a lower hip circumference of 50+ inches, and nearly 6 feet tall. I own an older Viking serger, graciously gifted to me by the daughters of my deceased elderly neighbor, and a vintage Bernina 1020 that sews straight and zigzag stitches. I love vintage, sold state sewing machines. They are infinitely more repairable than modern electronic machines and nothing about them feels cheap and plastic-like. They also are capable of sewing the most beautiful, perfectly tensioned stitches, which provides me with a great deal of joy and satisfaction. Currently, half of the Bernina's decorative stitches are held hostage because the stitch selection knob is frozen. Despite this shortcoming, I still love her as she is the Rolls Royce of stitching; solid, gorgeous, and a delightfully smooth ride. I have learned to live with fewer choices, you know, as you do in old age. Quality over quantity, baby.
