Instagram is where SewOver50 account lives and started on 18 August 2018 by Judith Staley. She was shortly joined by Sandy Bach and together they built SewOver50 from 0 to 50,000 followers this month.
Their hard work to bring the face of older sewists to Instagram has delivered 1,821 posts; worked with 144 guest editors on a range of topics; created 18 engaging challenges and commissioned #So50Live.
In this podcast Judith and Sandy discuss their challenges with the many changes Instagram has thrown us all making it harder to find each other the way you would normally chat up with your real life friends.
SewOver50 showcases not just the face of older sewists but also the issues older sewists face on a daily basis.
Seeing clickbait news about ageing is cheap journalism. One of the earliest articles about wearing florals was very narrowminded press that as a community, we've blown that thinking out of the park.
No matter your age or what your style is, everyone is welcomed to the SewOver50 community by simply using #SewOver50 and #SewOver50(monthyear) on their posts so we can add you to our stories and onto our grid.
In 2022 there is the podcast episode about older sewist research on their Instagram grids that Judith commissioned. Judith is committed to raising the visibility of older sewists. Sandy is leading the SewOver50 social media editorial team and developing challenges and ways to engage the community.
Their mandate is positive messages to bring people together. Make sure you follow SewOver50 and listen to all the SewOver50 podcasts available here.
