Lynne and Linda became sewing friends one day when Lynne was seen at Costa's coffee by Linda wearing a dress she made for an Instagram sewing challenge called Swap, Share, Sew. The aim of this particular challenge was to make new friends.

They both mentioned Marilyn and the Sewing Angels of the North and many other ways their friendship has continued to grow in so many ways.

They are one of the many sewing friends built in the SewOver50 community on Instagram.
