Hello friends!<\/p>\n

I’ve gotten so confused about which day of the week it is that I’ve missed my regular Friday posts for the past couple of weeks. Can you relate? I promise to have a new weekend links post for you next week, but in the meantime here’s a question to discuss. Why do you think more men don’t sew?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh sure, there are a few men out there who sew, but there numbers are small compared to the number of women who sew. Do you think that will increase because so many people are making face masks now?<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I hope you’re doing well! We get to go outside and run or walk tomorrow for the first time in almost two months, so we’re excited for the weekend! See you next week, and I hope you have a good project to work on in the meantime. Are you joining us for our Spring Pattern Challenge<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Your thoughts please.
