MARCH MEETING

Sew - N - Sews Vintage Fashion Show

Sew - N - Sews members are going through their closets to find vintage clothing. They now say vintage is the 1990's back to the 1800's!

Martha Hansen, an expert on vintage clothing, will coordinate our program on March 9th at 1:30 PM in the Oakwood ballroom with over twenty of our members' articles of vintage dresses, jewelry and accessories. Some of the members will be modeling their clothing. Other articles will just be displayed.

Martha has over 400 pieces in her personal collection in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and has spoken to Sun Lakers many times. "Pictures tell a thousand words but a closet can tell stories of a life time". She will be sharing some of that collection with us.

It's remarkable we have any vintage clothing here in Sun Lakes since most of us have moved here from some other place. Many times the closets are cleaned out and we don't keep those dresses that reminded us of a specific time and what the occasion meant. This will bring back many fond memories about those dresses, jewelry and accessories that are so special and that is why we have kept them in our closets!

Guests are welcome.
