I am capable of feeling very sad that so many forces can drive people apart, can make friendships end. And there are so many addictions that can really fray relationships. And there's something inside of me that's fed up with the old ways and I don't want to continue on with them. So I make fun of them. And I have to make some boundaries happen.
But what if there are times when I just want to think about a needle and thread patching things up. And what about using blocks of fabric and different types of stitches to create really tangible things. I don't even know if I want to learn much about actual sewing. I tend to like simpler projects when it comes to knit and crochet. But I really think that there's something about the idea of sewing and mending that is kind of soothing to the soul.
And I realize this is a privileged point of view because I never had to sew anything to make a living.
What if all the people around the world who are making our clothes really get paid fairly and treated well? And what if there were festivals to honor them?
