I don't think I ever heard the term Sewist used. It does not appear to be in dictionary.
O.K. Sewer appears to be a word found in dictionary.
–noun
a person or thing that sews.
I refer to myself as a quilter as I don't want to do other's mending. Just had someone ask me to whip up a skirt & blouse with some fabric her hubby brought from China.

Yup. I am a Quilter.
I am a "sewer" only when I want to do something for my immediate family, such as when I scowl at a waistline of the new shorts or skirt I bought for my daughters, because I want them to look nice and tailoring that single piece of clothing makes it look so much more attractive. Otherwise, I am not interested in "sewing" much of the time.
