Epiphany

Forgive my slowness. I keep coming across the term "sewist" in the sewing blog community and it makes me cringe a little each time. It just seems wrong and silly.

While I fully understand the need for a term other than "seamstress" I couldn't see why "sewist" would be the preferred choice.

Until today, that is, when I happened across a typical manhole cover and immediately, if belatedly, understood why "sewer" just wouldn't make the cut - even if most of my attempts belong not in any closet, but beneath said manhole.
