A to Z Challenge, Day 20: T Is For Tailor
We’re almost to the end of the A-Z Challenge! You still with me? Drink some coffee, walk around the block, jump up and down a bit to get the blood flowing.
There. Better? Thought so.
Today is T for Tailor. I find sewing a fascinating hobby. I read once in a Vogue Sewing Book from 1968 (or was it 86? I can’t remember, to be honest) that it’s like sculpting with fabric. The description stuck with me.
Of course, the word tailor always reminds me of the song, The House of the Rising Sun:
Why am I bringing this up now? My husband is a photographer and is starting a studio, Wolfshead Photography. He’s been sewing costumes for his models, anything from Victorian lingerie to full gowns. I don’t have pictures at the moment, though you can wander through his galleries on the link I gave you. I just wanted to give a shout-out to those of us who can sew and enjoy it. We’d look a lot less cool without clothes and we’d sure be a lot more cold.
Sewing is fun and can save you alot of money. I always wanted to draw and play a musical instrument. Guitar lessons are in my future! It\’s never too late to learning something you want to do.
I would love it if you learned guitar! It\’s one of my favorite instruments.
I admire photography. Anyone can take a photo, but a good one is more than a push of a button. One day I\’ll take the time to actually learn. 🙂
I totally agree. There\’s a lot of thought that goes in to that art. I hope you do give yourself the opportunity to play with it; I think you\’ll enjoy it!
I totally agree about sewing and sculpting. It\’s such a great analogy. I admire the skill to write and play music.
Best wishes to your husband with his studio.

Thank you, Shelley! I agree. Sculpting with fabric makes so much sense.
I\’ll pass on your best wishes to Michael; he\’ll appreciate it!
