I think it's awesome that so many guys like to quilt. My DHs cousin wanted to make a memory quilt several years before I retired. I'd haul my machine to the church fellowship hall on Saturday mornings and help him put together the blocks of pictures. It turned out wonderful and he still quilts today.

And when I wanted to learn how to make suits, I went and learned from a guy..... he had made suits for many famous men and I loved learning from him..... most of the sewing (tailoring) was done by hand. But, he had a vintage singer for sewing seams on the trousers, etc. At the time I couldn't understand why he didn't buy a fancy new machine but now, I know the reason. I interned with him for a year and learned so much..... and he'd work on that machine from time to time..... Yeah vintage.
