Can real men sew?

Greetings sewing group.

A few months ago I bought my first sewing machine. I always wanted one.
As a kid, I had to hem my own pants and sew my own buttons and
"customize" the square clothes my parents bought for me. You know ...
tapering the pants, etc. I grew up in the 60's so tight pants were in for
guys. Anyway ... finally got my machine and I'm having a ball!Went out
and bought several yards of inexpensive material and just went at it!
Searching the web for ideas and tapping my wife's friends for help. My
male friends sort of look at me funny and say: A sewing machine? hmmm. I
ride Harley Davidison motorcycles, collect Jaguars (cars) play piano,
guitar, and harmonica in a blues band, do most of the repairs around the
house (retired at 49 from AT&T), ski, golf, and tennis ... and now ... I
sew. Just made slip covers for a wing back chair and an ottoman in
holiday fabrics ... a few stuffed pillows for gifts (with zippers and
piping!), fixed my wife's jeans (hems) and now am about to start on
holiday curtians for the kitchen and breakfast room in time for our
annual Christmas party. Then, I bought some real nice linen material to
do the curtains in "my" bathroom. And I'm usually the only guy in Jo-Anns
and when I tell "the girls" I'm sewing they're sooo helpful. This is fun.
Just wanted to say "hello" and am enjoying reading all the postings and
tips and just chatting. Happy Holidays!
