Every one of us that stitches is a sewist; also because the word "sewer" when written has a whole different meaning!

Using the term Sewist also allows us to include all types of people who create, without having to differentiate between what type of stitching you do.

My hope is that The Sewistry can become a place for all us sewists to belong
