My maternal grandmother was a bridal seamstress... I still have the last butter soft flannel nightgown she sewed for me decades ago - too threadbare to wear anymore - but I cannot imagine parting with it. Thank you for bringing back all those memories of beautiful garments stitched together with love.

I love this! Second time today that the algo sent me lilacs. The first was a painting of lilacs with highly expressive brushwork evocative of Chinese calligraphy: https://substack.com/@verakoberart/note/c-255159156?r=264kdd

I thought this would be a deep dive into the reasons most women’s garments don’t have pockets. I still enjoyed it but I also am curious as to your views on the topic.

Any dress, pants or skirt that has deep pockets is a treasure. But a lavender skirt passed down might just be the very best.
