In Sewing News Today...

According to this site, "Digital Lavender" will be the colour of 2023.  It's a close match to 2022's "Very Peri."  

I don't think there is any lavender or peri hues lurking in my fabric stash other than a purple cotton eyelet.  

There is no sewing mojo towards sewing the purple eyelet.  

Not yet anyway.  

Maybe in 2023?  

The sewing mojo is focused on practical sewing.  

Mostly mending.  

So much mending.  

Mostly the crotch curve on pajama bottoms and the armscye on pajama tops.   

They seem to be constant stress points.  

Perhaps, I should reconsider the amount of ease in these sections.  

Perhaps, a gusset?  

It's been so long since I sew a gusset into a garment.  

I could throw in an additional exercise routine or two to help with the fitting ease issue.  

Weight loss would certainly help with the amount of mending.  

Or start sewing knit pajama sets.  

But I digress...

We were talking about colour, right.  

Lately, in this part of the world grey has been a hot topic.  

It all happened when a popular and well respected news anchor was let go from an organization she worked at for over 30 years.  

There were accusations of ageism at play.  

You see Lisa Laflamme let her hair go to it's natural grey colour during the pandemic.  

On national television.  

Oh, the horror!  

That's sarcasm if you're a new reader.  

I embraced the natural hair colour look over ten years ago.  

I applauded LaFlamme's decision to be her authentic self.  

And I think she looked polished and professional.  

I'm disgusted with Bell Media actions.  

And good on the people supporting LaFlamme and opening up a discussion on ageism in the workplace.  

It's long overdue.  

Well, I should get back to sewing.  

I'm off to cut out a new project in some brown and pink spec tweed.  

Apparently, it's a good colour to wear with grey hair.  

I honestly had no idea when I picked it up.  

Funny how things work out.  

Stay Safe and Happy Sewing!
