Did anyone see it today? Gunther gave Luann a dress he made. He told her 'Sewing is sort of a hobby'.
I'm glad to see that Greg Evans (author) has the insight to show that it is OK for males to sew and enjoy it.
To top off the paper today, it showed a class in a local school being taught to knit, males and females.

Yes, that is the one. Thanks for posting the link. Today Luann tried it on and it fit perfectly.

Thanks Jeanette - very frustrating not being able to see something like that when someone is talking about it - it's the whole "you had to be there" feeling.

It is good to see men shown sewing in the media - even though Luann seemed doubtful about it. I'm sure a lot more guys would give it a go if it weren't for fear of perceptions. Interesting to see where this ends up.
