I never did learn to sew very well. My mother taught me how to hand sew a simple hem. She actually used to darn socks using a light bulb to stretch them out so that she could mend them. "Who in the world sews socks??? Why not just buy new ones?" I once asked her. "Mothers with six children," was her answer. "Oh"...said me.
When I was pregnant with my first child, my grandmother, who was a seamstress back in her working days, helped me sew some maternity clothes. They were corduroy overalls and I loved wearing them even though they made me look like an elephant. They really did...they were gray.
I never did take to sewing though.

The painting was inspired by this sketch in my sweetie book (a tiny moleskin) and a recent conversation with a friend who likes to sew.
Hope you had a great weekend. Thank you SO much for all your very kind comments on my most recent paintings.
