Discussion
 
• 
Talk about whether and why you agree or disagree with the quote from paragraph 6:
• “Tailors are well respected, but men who sew at home can be seen as feminine.”
• 
Can you sew? 
• If so, how good are your sewing skills? Who taught you? 
• If not, why not? Would you like to learn?
• 
What will your next, or first, sewing project be? Will you make something new, or will you 
repair or mend something?

In your own words
You are setting up a sewing group. With a partner, write a text for a social-media post or for a lo-fi 
poster advertising for members. Give your sewing group a name and include all the facts new 
members will need to know to be able to join the group. For example: 
• where and when you meet
• how often you meet
• who can join
• what members are expected to do.
Make your advert sound as welcoming and interesting as possible and include something special 
so that new members will want to join your group and not another group.
