How awesome! I always wonder what career to send my tailors into, and now I have one that fits perfectly. Excellent!

Glad to fill the gap!

I have followed in the family footsteps and am myself a seamstress, so this is now my SimSelf career. Im the 5th generation that has followed the seamstress trade... I didn't have to apprentice though, just had sewing lessons since I was 6 years old.

This is so awesome! Such a loving way to honor your grandmother. Thank you for sharing with us. I can't wait to add this to my game.

This is wonderful, Kittylynn! Thankyou so much. And thanks for sharing with us the story of your great-great-grandmother. I wish more of the custom careers came with personal back-stories like this.

I live in Massachusetts, about an hour's drive away from Lowell, Mass, where some of the first textile mills were in the US. (Maybe your great-great-grandmother worked in one of them). There is a large open-air museum about the early textile industry - several buildings, a boat ride on canals, trolley cars, etc. If you ever visit...

My ex was big into textiles and weaving and your career certainly looks authentic. I've installed it and, always a moment of concern, checked to see if any existing careers were overlaid.

P.S. They weren't, so all is OK to go. Thank you! Your great-great-grandmother would be honored!

One word. AWSOME!
I'm rooting for you in the contest!

This is so awesome as I was in textiles all my life. As a tender and to mechanic and supervisor. This is as I said before.......awesome. Thanks hun

This looks really interesting - it may just inspire me to start a period neighborhood, although I'd need to research how to eliminate or replace the uniforms of the upper levels. Good work and thanks!!

Thanks for all your great comments! @mac - After all I have read and seen in my great great grandmothers journals, seeing those museums would be awesome. I might have to try to get there someday. I know grandma was in New York for a while... Im not sure where she was before that.
@wwgoose - I wanted to create custom-period uniforms, but I didn't know how and I thought the career would be better CC free. I might still try some uniforms someday or find someone who knows how to help me. If you want to remove the uniforms completely from your own game you would have to edit the package with SimPE and use Bidou's Career Editor...just don't re upload it or anything.

Thanks for this career :3 I love textiles. My grandmother and my grandfather were tailor.

Oh wow. Never expected to find something so real in here. Thanks, I'm going to enjoy this, and thanks to Grandma Kittylynn!

This is so awesome! I like realistic careers and this is probably the best one! Thank you for such an awesome upload!

This is quite possibly the coolest career I have ever laid eyes on.

What a wonderful way to honor her memory! I love "real" careers.

thanks :)

What a wonderful piece of history about your ancestor (and millions others like her throughout history and nowaday life! In honour of her, and all of these people around the world, I'm taking this career, Kittylynn, because where would we all be without people who do this line of work?

this is great! i just happen to create a sim that likes sewing and i was wondering if there was a career that fits. thanks for sharing your history as well

It is so cool that you found those journals, and used your great-great-grandmother's experience to base this career on. Thank you for sharing!

this is a well-needed bit of variety to a sometimes drab career selection.

Fascinating detail, Kittylynn, and what a nice way to honor your Great Great Grandmother. I am sure she is working with you in spirit and quite happy as she sees what you are doing with her history. Very touching :-) It will be an honor to play this career.

What a legacy. Thanks so much for sharing them with us! I can't wait to try this in game.

Great idea and a lovely tribute! - There are still "haberdashers" where I live, but not many and most (but not all) of them elderly.

It was very interesting to read the story behind this career. Thanks for sharing with us!

This is beautifully written and researched! What a great career! I'm going to use it in my historical hood.
