Meet Laineemakes

Elaine is a Sewover50 follower and she gives her perspective about Black History Month. She sees that she wants to know more about Black History both in the US and in her home country in the UK. Black History Month in the UK is recognised in October each year and she's suggested listeners go to Black History Month UK website and Black Poppy Rose .

Elaine began following Sewover50 when it was first started because she has learnt about Sewover50 through joining the Sewcialists. Elaine refers to her sewing machines as her toys and she's been able to sew her designer inspired dreams as a Minerva Maker.

Elaine recognises that she has found her sewing community through Sewover50 and enjoys the connection with sewists who are over 50 and want to stay visible.
