Most A answers: VISIONARY
You are a fast and agile seamstress. When sewing inspiration strikes you need to get the fabric quickly and you have the new garment on you in no time. So what if you don't have time to clean up all the threads? The main thing is the great feeling of a new, self-made garment and the sense of accomplishment.
Most B answers: HOPEFUL
There are at least a kilometer of lovely fabrics in your cupboard waiting for the right moment. You are an optimist when it comes to fabric shopping, but unfortunately your beloved hobby often gets pushed aside by other chores. You often joke that you 'would love to buy some sewing time'. But hey, don't give up, clear some time in your calendar and make all your lovely wishes come true!
Most C answers: DREAMER
You admire fabrics and patterns and you dream of starting a sewing hobby. You find yourself wondering if you can do it anymore...? We want to encourage you by telling you that sewing is like riding a bike - you can't forget that. Skills are gained from sewing, and you can always ask for help. You will succeed! Shall we go sewing together?
Most D answers: VIRTUOSO
You are a sewing wizard! You create wonderful clothing creations and on the side you make tunics for your mother and your friend. You even make leggings for your child from the leftover fabric. At parties, your new dress steals the attention every time. You can break away from sewing for a moment, but the hobby of sewing will never leave you.
If none of these types of seamstresses sound familiar, you can also find out your character by taking on a new sewing project! Gorgeous fabrics and inspiring patterns await you in the Ommellinen online store and at our shop in Kinkomaa. We recommend everyone to take up this rewarding sewing hobby. It is a wonderfully creative activity which rewards you with great results!
With love,
