Cult of Domesticity

Despite all of the stereotypes of female lawyers being alpha female career women, many of us aspiring lawyers do have a "softer side." Many of us like to cook dinner each night, knit, bake, host dinner parties, etc.

Lately, I have had a particular desire to sew. With the return of Project Runway, I reminisce about how much fun it was to roam the aisles of the fabric store to pick out fabrics and accessories such as buttons and zippers. As a girl with engineering in her blood, I love making things. I loved watching a pattern become an outfit.

Perhaps during Winter Break I will take out my mom's sewing machine and make something. It has been a few years since I sewed my old duvet cover and a myriad pillows, but sewing comes back quickly. For now I guess I will just watch Project Runway.

And for my fellow Project Runway fans, here are some of my favorite sites about the show:
Project Rungay gives the funniest commentary on the show and has great screenshots of the outifts and Blogging Project Runway always has the latest insider news about the show.
