Sew Not My Day!

For the American Sewers Guild ladies of Central Iowa
(of which I am a proud member - sing to the tune of Little Old Lady from Pasadena)

They wear organdy dresses and high-button shoes
They read Threads magazine and so Sew News
There's Patience Proper and Prudence Prim
You oughta see 'em do the swim

They come from Des Moines, Ames and the suburbs too
For a sewing circle and clothing review
The little old ladies wait in wild anticipation
for the meeting of the Central Iowa ASG, duh
The American Sewers Guild of Central Iowa

They toot around town in their big Grand Prixes
Sittin' in their bucket seats, shootin' the breeze
You know that all week long they put up jammin' preserves
And on weekends they negotiate curves

They come from Des Moines, Ames and the suburbs too
For a sewing circle and clothing review
The little old ladies wait in wild anticipation
for the meeting of the Central Iowa ASG, duh
The American Sewers Guild of Central Iowa

The meeting breaks up with a thunderous roar
Then there's a mad mad rush for the big oak door
They run to their cars like the start at LeMans
Then they go spinnin' donuts in the lawns

They come from Des Moines, Ames and the suburbs too
For a sewing circle and clothing review
The little old ladies wait in wild anticipation
for the meeting of the Central Iowa ASG, duh
The American Sewers Guild of Central Iowa

Tomorrow I'm cruising around Iowa with 4 ladies in tow. I don't think any of us are very old, but I guess that's in the eye of the beholder and my 14 year old... We're going to hit little known fabric shops in about 4 or 5 wide flung towns around Iowa. It will be fun!

Have a great weekend!
