KAY SAYS IT'S COOL TO SEW

The love of sewing has skipped several generations - now it has returned with a different identity. Sewing is no longer strictly a function of domestic necessity. It is a perfect mode for self-expression! Out of traditional sewing, many new and non-traditional forms have blossomed. One popular direction is to re-construct or de-construct and embellish jeans and T-shirts.

Handbags, quilts and fabric accessories for the home are high on the favorites list.

Copying vintage garments in retro fabrics is a hot item.

Art and craft festivals, boutiques and galleries around the country feature designers selling one-of-a-kind art-wear and accessories.

Costumes from the past are lovingly recreated for fairs, re-enactment groups, and historical societies.
