THE
SEWING CLUB
by Debora Hill
TONE:
Contemporary womens' ensemble story, set in Northern California.
Similar in style to THE FIRST WIVES' CLUB and BOYS ON THE SIDE,
but with a technical look close to that of STEEL MAGNOLIAS and
HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUILT. There should be a sharp contrast
between the world of Emma and the Sewing Club and that of Chelsea
and the computer hacker/slackers.
SET-UP:
Reporter Emma Woodhouse teaches a Sewing Club on Monday nights.
The women who attend are also friends of her's, and after their
sewing session they have a potluck supper and, if the weather
permits, go swimming in the pool which is outside the clubhouse
where they hold the club meetings. Karen Tomlinson, who lives
in the townhouse complex where the meetings are held, has her
17-year-old niece Chelsea staying with her.
STORY LINE:
When the Sewing Club members find a body in the clubhouse sauna,
they become involved in a plot to blackmail a computer software
mogul. When Chelsea becomes implicated in the murder and the
plot, Karen attempts to help her, putting herself and her baby
daughter at risk. When Emma, a reporter for the local newspaper,
becomes involved as well, her fiance Lucien is injured when
her car is driven off the road.
