There’s No Thread

by Liza Mae Chadwick, Meghan Gambling

Join sisters Meghan, a published playwright, and Liza, a professional pattern maker, as we tear into the sewing moments in movies and tv to discuss Could, Would, and Should the sewing really happen. Are the characters motivated? Do they have enough yardage? Are they magical or is the internet available to them? Who taught them to sew? Is it good writing or just deus-ex-sewing-machina?Is there even any thread in the machine???Come for the sewing/time/materials/skills breakdown, stay for everything else.
