Sew in Fashion
This season’s hottest looks are a cross between ready-to-wear and "do-you-dare?" screams the Home Sewing Association(HSA), the industry’s creative and educational voice.
"So many of the top magazines are touting the personalization of items you already own—or are about to purchase and augment—for a truly updated look," states Joan Campbell, executive vice president of the association.
Campbell points to re. cent articles in the best known "bibles of style", today’s fashion and lifestyle magazines. "In Style, Vogue and Glamour have all highlighted ’done by you’ fashions that are simple to create and easy to love."
Sew, who’s doing it? In a pivotal moment in Eyes Wide Shut, Nicole Kidman chides, "You... wouldn’t believe..." Well, believe it or not, in a feature issue of In Style, Ms. Kidman reveals ten surprising and remarkable things. Among them? She can sew. And sew well.
Ms. Kidman was lured into sewing out of a growing dissatisfaction with the selection of appropriate clothing for children. Succinctly stated, "When my daughter was 3 or 4, I didn’t think there were any good clothes out there, so I made some." A simple statement with powerful impact and a clear edict: You can do it. Just try.
What a boost to those who dream of creating their own designer wardrobes!
So, is Nicole Kidman the only amazingly busy celebrity who sews? Not by a long shot. In Style magazine also revealed recently that Elizabeth Hurley sews and has for a very long time. Yeah baby! In fact, the popular lifestyle magazine has mentioned Ms. Hurley’s sewing abilities in more than one article. From sewing her own "Marilyn Monroe style dresses" to punk rock fashions, she has no doubt honed her skill over the years. Ms. Hurley boasts of her ability to "sew quite well. I made my sister’s wedding dress."
Now that’s a confident woman. But sewing can also be a teen thing, as exemplified by some noteworthy and youthful examples.
Venus Williams is one young woman who exudes confidence both on and off the court. And she’s a skilled sewing sport as well, according to her sister, fellow tennis ace, Serena Williams, "When she was younger, she would make clothes for her dolls out of her old clothing. But now she has started to design outfits to show off her model-like figure." "I have a great imagination," Venus added in the sisters’ interview with Tennis Magazine, "and I always like to do different things." Inspiring is it not? Just imagine what you could do with a needle and thread and a notion in your head!
