A person who sews. Also known as seamstress, dressmaker and sewer. A word created to replace the word sewer due to it's unfortunate spelling. Not to be confused with the type if sewer where The TMNT reside.
I prefer to be called a "sewist" as it is more hipster than seamstress or sewer. Please see definition above in regards to the term "sewer" .

Sewage goes in a sewer, not a flattering word, not differentiating from one who sews.
Sewist isn't a gender biased word like seamstress, that has implied a female getting paid for sewing. Tailoring is seen as masculine, but is a specialty of sewing not a gender based ability.
Not all who sew can do seamstressing or tailoring! Alterations, formalwear, couture, curtains, drapery, couch covers, zipper repair, long arm quilting, piecing, infant wear, scrubs, winter wear, swimwear, dance and skaters outfits, costuming, historic reproduction, theatrical, etc etc etc. are all specialties that a Sewist might perform, one just has to ask.

Mary was the victim of a sexist drive-by. Earlier today, a man walked past her at a coffee shop and said, "Don't frown so much when you're reading or writing on a computer." Mary replied, "I'm writing a condolence letter."

grebo
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
