| OP-ED COLUMNIST; Sewing Her Way Out Of Poverty NAIROBI, Kenya I came to Kenya partly to help make a PBS documentary about empowering women as a way to lift families and communities -- men included -- out of poverty. And I promptly met a prostitute-turned-businesswoman who epitomizes that theme. Jane Ngoiri is a 38-year-old single mom who grew up in a slum and dropped out of school after the |
| ANTIQUES; Revising Our Ideas Of Colonial Sewing Three exhibitions opening in the next few days are meant to dispel common myths about Colonial women's sewing habits. Young embroiderers, it turns out, did not learn much at their mothers' knees by the fireside, nor did they diligently copy designs that were fed to them. They traveled for days to take expensive courses and served as apprentices. |
| WIFE/MOTHER/WORKER/SPY; Altered by a Sewing Machine SOMETIMES when I sew on my new sewing machine, it looks beautiful, and I think: Oh, my God, look at all those straight perfect stitches. I'm just like a seamstress in a fairy tale who can make anything -- clothes for the king, a coat that slays giants, maybe even a set of eight luncheon-size napkins with mitered corners! Other times, and for no |
| TELEVISION REVIEW | 'THE FASHION SHOW'; Contestants Are Sewing, But the Hosts Are Cutting When Fanny, the heroine of Nancy Mitford's novel ''Don't Tell Alfred,'' moves to Paris as the wife of the new British ambassador, she discovers that the embassy is still occupied by the former ambassadress, who refuses to step down and instead sets up a rival salon across the courtyard. Across the courtyard is pretty much where Bravo finds itself |
| EDITORIAL; Sewing Up the Safety Net Largely missing from the discussion about the faltering economy is the recession's impact on the 37 million Americans who are already living at or below the poverty line -- and the millions more who will inevitably join their ranks as the downturn worsens. Poverty and joblessness go hand in hand. If unemployment rises in the coming year from |
| G.O.P. Shopping Spree Includes a Little Sewing Not often does the klieg-lit world of presidential campaigning reach into the shadowy side streets of the garment district or Chinatown. This week, campaign finance reports confirmed that the Republican National Committee spent about $150,000 on clothes for its vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, and her family, including $75,062 at Neiman |
| PRO FOOTBALL; Sewing Up Wild-Card Playoff Berth, Carolina Tears Into Atlanta PANTHERS 44, FALCONS 11 Aside from a play early in the game when quarterback Jake Delhomme's pants ripped, the Carolina Panthers held together nicely Sunday, routing the Atlanta Falcons to clinch a berth in the playoffs. After the game, Delhomme laughed about the incident, and the Panthers exhaled. Carolina claimed one of the N.F.C.'s two wild-card |
| Front Row; For better or worse, Olympic ice skaters have escaped the fashion police An unpublicized designer makes an art out of sewing. Enough about who may have pressured the French judge Marie Reine Le Gougne to tilt her pairs skating vote to the Russians. The real question in the minds of Olympic fans is, ''What's going on with those ice dancing clothes?'' In an attempt to comprehend the symbolism behind one skater's choice of costume, a writer for The New Yorker once concluded |
| More Than a Sewing Fancy OH, the stories buttons tell. Buttons, 15,000 of them, to wear, to flaunt, to dream on -- in brass, glass, hand-painted enamel, cloisonné and ivory. They are the newly acquired makings of a permanent exhibition that opened May 2 at the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury. The kaleidoscopic cache represents a distinctive windfall -- a gift from the |
| THE NEEDIEST CASES; Passing On A Passion For Sewing A colorful quilt hung by a window, brightening up an otherwise drab community room. Its centerpiece shows three women in traditional African dress standing side by side: the woman in orange represents the girls who sewed the quilt, the woman in pink, to the left, represents their mothers, and a woman in purple represents other women important in |
