Can We Please Have Sewing Back?
I was never a big sewing fan in past versions, but with this version and our talented devs, I can see a lot of possibilities. There could be one career that splits into two careers, SEAMSTRESS and DRESS DESIGNER. We would need these things included:
1. A sewing machine, both in a cabinet and portable for a desk or table for sims with limited space.
2. A cutting table where our sims would select a pattern, pick a material and cut out the pattern shapes.
3. Sewing skill
4. A dress dummy to "model" the dress on and do a few last touch ups.
Then the dress could be sold via the mailbox or in a shop.
This might also be a possible freelance career where you create a dress for a sim according to their wants, color, style, etc.
The dresses should only be available from dressmaking and not in CAS, so, if you want one of these dresses, sew it yourself or hire someone to do it or find it in a dressmakers shop.
Now players could create sewing clubs (sort of a Project Runway for sims) or just sew at home for extra money to pay the bills.
If a celebrity wears your dress and gets photographed in it, both the celebrity and the dressmaker get a fame bump.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Sewing should definitely be a skill.

I do have a few sims that I think should be able to sew, it's such a bummer that it's not an option yet.

Yes sewing as a skill would be a great addition to a Farming Expansion! The wool gets sheared from the sheep, then spinned into yarn using the spinning wheel and then sewed!
Yes! They could even bring back the aspiration meter and aspiration perks like we had in TS2. Like how Family sims could make grandmas soup which would cure any disease instantly or knowledge sims could summon aliens through the telescope.
I think we could do with a more modern depiction.
TS Mobile has a sewing machine.
It looks like you are confusing a spinning wheel with a sewing machine. You have to spin the wool into fiber strands and then there is another contraption to weave the fiber strands together to make the cloth.
A loom. I'd love to have a loom. Then my sims could create quilts, throws, blankets, etc.
Yes, that's it! Thank you. I couldn't think of what it was called for my life!
I dl'd one for my medieval Sims in TS2.
This spinning wheel is the one!
They could pull a magical spin on it by enable sims to make some kind of golden thread or magical thread (literally its function in TS1), this time for some magical outfits, e.g. transparent suit.
You’re confusing something. A spinning wheel doesn’t sew clothes but turns wool and fibers into yarn.
Yarn is used at the sewing machine to produce clothes. Clothes aren‘t produced at a spinning wheel, but yarn is required for clothes.
If we get it in a Farming Expansion, the first step would be spinning the animal‘s wool into yarn. Then second step is using the yarn at the sewing machine to sew clothes.
or embroider the clothes you just made with sewing table!!!
also knitting! id love some woolly socks and mittens
could even make toys or something? decorative pillows collection?
