Sounds like a doomed idea, but at least she has the support of long-time friend Christine (Belinda Giblin).Īnd the word from the market’s fashion guru Hamish (Hoa Xuande) is that Liebe’s work is wonderful, encouraging her to continue, despite Duncan’s dismissive attitude. Needless to say, Duncan is a short-tempered grump of the first order, yet Liebe still wants to support him with what money she can make from making dresses. Back in the day their band was about to hit it big when Justin pulled out, destroying wha could have been a stellar career. He also senses a long-nurtured resentment. Justin can see through Duncan’s appeal for creative input. Determined not to fade away completely, he approaches former band mate Justin (the late John Gregg) to be part of a new album project, and to put up the finance. He’s a musician who never made it, a frustration that deepens when he loses his regular gig at the local RSL. While visiting a local market, Liebe (Maggie Blinco) is inspired to take up needle and thread again, a career path she sacrificed for the sake of her no-good life partner Duncan (Glenn Shorrock). Though it might sound for all the world like a cute little film about a little old lady who rediscovers her passion for dressmaking, A Stitch in Time actually has some meaty things to say about old age, frustration, compromise and the possibility of human renewal. Material girl: Maggie Blinco and Hoa Xuande star in the dramedy ‘A Stitch in Time’.
