Hi. I just recently started reading these two groups. I've seen that
many of the same people are on both groups and I was just wondering
what the difference between them were? Are they categorically the same,
except for alt.sewing being more highly trafficked?

They're pretty much the same. There are some news servers which don't
carry alt.sewing (fewer and fewer of them, but still a few hold-outs
which don't carry alt.* groups).

I wouldn't say they're categorically the same. Yes, there's a lot of
the same people, and a lot of stuff is crossposted to both groups, but
they're not the same.
