I have a column in Sew News Magazine called The Common Thread and for the August/September 2018 issue I’m focusing on upending the phrase, “Not your grandmother’s sewing.” Specifically, I’m seeking out older women who sew fashionable, beautiful clothing. They could either be grandmothers themselves, or old enough to have grandchildren. Essentially I’m looking to say, “Hey, your grandmother makes awesome things and we should aspire to be as skilled and fashionable as she is!” <br /><br />Several of my sewing friends recommended that I get in touch. I wondered if you have a few thoughts to share about this phrase? How does it make you feel? Do you think it’s misguided and if so in what way?<br /><br />Thank you so much for considering being part of this!<br /><br />Abby<br />abbyglassenberg @ comcast dot netabbyglassenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11609545941125719440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-36752601325628973652017-11-30T10:33:04.414-05:002017-11-30T10:33:04.414-05:00I must be out of it but what does TNT refer to? tr...I must be out of it but what does TNT refer to? tried and true? or is there a pattern company TNT?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469480311401624901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-64970314671050641112017-11-30T00:15:27.060-05:002017-11-30T00:15:27.060-05:00The question is only: how do you feel?

And I swear I have a pair of black pants in every size I have ever been and I have saved most of them. Because I will revisit them at one point or another. I certainly have a few times over my 58 years. <br />Grandchildren are your best accessories!SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-89110944218062025962017-11-29T19:48:29.346-05:002017-11-29T19:48:29.346-05:00Those pants look great with that black top!!

Great work on ticking that "wardrobe must" box. I particularly like the look with the Rivermont top. Gorgeous!
