Blue jean baby, L. A. Lady, seamstress for the band
The author of these lyrics, Bernie Taupin, based this particular lyric sentence off what his girlfriend, Maxine Feiblemann, did when she traveled with the band and who she was. She traveled with the band on their early tours and often sowed up holes in their clothes and fixing up their costumes. She soon became Taupin's first wife in 1701.
