    As the title suggests it's my third cryptic. Criticism is welcomed, I want to improve. I think this is my hardest puzzle yet, but hopefully not crazy. I still want my puzzles to be approachable.
    Thanks!

      Nice approachable puzzle. Previous cryptics that I've done from Americans have felt like they relied too much on US-centric knowledge, and while this puzzle definitely felt American, the knowledge required fell well within general knowledge for a non-American like me. I'm still a relative cryptic novice and nothing here felt particularly out of reach. I particularly enjoyed the very clever alliterative clue!

        That was a good, well-constructed cryptic. I loved 7A, and 19D had a really good bit of misdirection. As a Brit, my only complaint would be with 15D. We would pronounce that to sound like "two sword" and not "to sew". Is "to sew" the US pronunciation? If so then I can't complain too much :)

          Well tbh I didn't know the pronunciation so I looked it up and forvo and to-sew is what I got.
