Most anticipated by USA Today, W Magazine, New York Post, Parade, Bustle, Buzzfeed, Reader's Digest, and PopSugar and named one of the best historical fiction books of the year by Cosmopolitan!\"A beautifully rendered portrait of a young woman finding her courage and her voice.\"--Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author North Carolina, 1946. One woman. A discovery that could rewrite history.Maddie Sykes is a burgeoning seamstress who's just arrived in Bright Leaf, North Carolina--the tobacco capital of the South--where her aunt has a thriving sewing business. After years of war rations and shortages, Bright Leaf is a prosperous wonderland in full technicolor bloom, and Maddie is dazzled by the bustle of the crisply uniformed female factory workers, the palatial homes, and, most of all, her aunt's glossiest clientele: the wives of the powerful tobacco executives.But she soon learns that Bright Leaf isn't quite the carefree paradise that it seems. A trail of misfortune follows many of the women, including substantial health problems, and although Maddie is quick to believe that this is a coincidence, she inadvertently uncovers evidence that suggests otherwise.Maddie wants to report what she knows, but in a town where everyone depends on Big Tobacco to survive, she doesn't know who she can trust--and fears that exposing the truth may destroy the lives of the proud, strong women with whom she has forged strong bonds.Shedding light on the hidden history of women's activism during the post-war period, at its heart, The Tobacco Wives is a deeply human, emotionally satisfying, and dramatic novel about the power of female connection and the importance of seeking truth.\"This is a story of courage, of women willing to take a stand in the face of corporate greed, and most definitely a tale for our times.\" --Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author

Yes, it is actually Sewing Machine Day! The sewing machine was patented in the United States on September 10, 1846 by Elias Howe. It was fun to read about, and will be more fun to celebrate this evening! Sewing machines are declining in popularity now (boo!), but I'm determined to use mine regularly, and teach my kids how to sew their clothes and some decor, crafts, etc. Today is also my Dad's birthday! Happy Birthday, Dad! He's been traveling a lot lately, and will be leaving again next week, for Europe, so I'm hoping to get a mini celebration in this weekend. Dad and me, posing with the kids on Pier 19, at South Padre in July.

Have you ladies and gent(s) seen this issue? I know many of you have, since you're the ones who recommended it to me. Damn, this thing is good. It's worth it for the price alone for the article "Memories of a Parisian Seamstress: Tales and techniques from the workrooms of couturier Jacques Fath." The funny thing is, I actually have this article on my Threads DVD that I got for Christmas a few years ago, but somehow never came across it. It outlines, step by step, the process that Fath used for draping an evening gown foundation with cotton tulle. (As you might recall, I wrote about this technique a few weeks ago). I can't recommend the article highly enough. It's given me a ton of ideas for how I might utilize this technique on my own. Plus, it gives a bunch of awesome insights into being a seamstress for Fath in the late 40s. It's pretty amazing being able to read a first-hand account of that era. There are also articles on Chanel, Norman Norell, and Yves St. Laurent, among others. Even if you have these on disc, it's pretty cool being able to read them all together, on the subway, for instance. Anyone else obsessing over this issue?
