SewOver50June Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

Instagram has now removed the "recent" # search. Perhaps you have noticed that the tags are no longer in chronological order. Our strength has been getting to know our community through checking the tag daily. Without being able to see your most recent sewing under #SewOver50 it is quite infuriating. @Instagram is not receptive to the outcry so we are instigating a NEW plan to find you. 🙌🙌🙌 For June, use #SewOver50June. 💥 We'll find you fast and can like and comment on your posts everyday again as the volume will be lower and the hashtag will be running for only 30 days or so. Still use #SewOver50 because we want to keep our community growing. With 235,000 posts and over 47,000 followers it's where our strength lies! 💪 #So50Visible #SewOverAgeism We'd also appreciate you sharing this to your stories to spread the message from SewOver50. And remember… #SewOver50June with #SewOver50. 🙌🙌🙌

Cris Wood Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

Cris Wood was kind enough to give us her time to talk about what is involved in getting models who look like they are over 50 years old for a small patternline.

In the research conducted by SewOver50, statistics in 2022 showed there are few companies that represent sewists over 50 on their pattern company grids and on their pattern covers.

Cris has been in contact with Sandy of SewOver50 to source local models that could be 'over 50' models for Cris Wood Sews patterns.

Cris originally worked in a number of sewing jobs and in 2020 she was forced to stop working and had to come up with another way of earning an income.
