A VERY interesting look into hosiery - history, thoughts, etc. Digging mine out will be part of my big wardrobe switcheroo - but not until the weather cools off!

Today's Substack Post definitely relates to the topic of my Skool Class coming up on Thursday night - all about construction techniques for Creative Sweatshirt jackets!

If you are in Jackson, TN area - YOU are invited to this in-person event. If not, perhaps this is an idea you could start. OR - look to see if there is an American Sewing Guiid in your area... those are great groups of gals as well.

Friends! The Jackson TN Sewing Guild is coming back to life - and I would LOVE to see YOU there! We'll gather the last Tuesday of each month, 9am-noon at my Sunroom Sewing Studio, 167 Whitfield Drive, Jackson TN.

Our first gathering is Tuesday June 30! I have a rack of curated thrift store goodies (J Jill, Chicos, etc) you can pick from for FREE. AND, the garments that you can see at www.londas-sewing.com/londaoriginals that are left at that time will be 'adoptable' for just a $15 donation that will go to Tunnel 2 Towers and St. Jude. If you want to shop in person before 6/30 - just give me a call at 21-369-4687.

Bring something you've made lately to share - or even something that is causing you problems. No dues. Just sewing and sharing.

Reply to reserve your spot - seating is limited - I think I can squeeze 15 in the Studio-theatre/sharing style. In the future, we might actually sew - ya never know... 😉🪡🧵
