Sewing is Cool Again (NYT gift link)

This is interesting to me and where I originally thought this thread would focus: on our kids’ generation. My D knits extensively in addition to sewing and belongs to a knitting group. She feels she has ADHD even though she has never sought an official diagnosis, and knitting helps her focus on her research work (she’s a PhD student). The sewing is more a way to get customized clothes and avoid shopping fast fashion. I also have thought about how her late grandmother and great-grandmother would be proud of her skills.
