Guidelines

- plain colours only (no patterned prints)
- the challenge runs from July 1 to July 31
- garments only
- a new post of your make – it can be #So50reworn

What will your colours be? vibrant? monochromatic? tonal? subtle?
Why not add some pattern ideas to help us out on the SewOver50 Instagram account.

SewOver50 celebrated 40K
Friday 11 March 2022: Celebrate SewOver50 reaching 40,000 followers this weekend with a fun contest.
SewOver50 on Instagram has gone from their humble beginnings in August 2018 when Judith (@JudithRosalind the founder) asked “is there a need for a group for older sewists? to now being the largest active sewing community on Instagram. In the words of Helen Reddy, we’re “in numbers too big to ignore!”
On the SewOver50 post published on Friday 11 March 2022 UK time, describe your “sewing style” in three descriptors in the comments.
This was a fun contest that ended on Sunday 13 March 2022.
Show your personal support by sharing your sewing style descriptors in a post or story on your Instagram account and let everyone know that being SewOver50 does not mean invisible.
Special mentions: Gillian of Craftingarainbow or Gilliancrafts, Susan Young of SusanYoungsewing and Tree of Stitchless_tv
2022 podcasts
Dawna
Thursday 24 February 2022: @spoolriversewing is how we all know and admire Dawna’s sewing skills and she’s now a SewOver50 podcast guest as well.
Dawna is a rivertown gal from St Paul, Minnesota, situated on the Mississippi River. She lives a stone’s throw away from the banks of this mighty river and she walks by it every day. Dawna is an English major and at university she read ‘Spoonriver Anthology’ which is a collection of poems about rural life in America. It’s essentially a tapestry of life and her sewing life is definitely a tapestry of her life as well.
You can find Dawn on her blog and on instagram.
Dawna has a very long sewing career and her daughters have also attended sewing camp. You’ll love listening to her sewing reflections.
