motorharpThe coworker who gifted me a few pieces of vintage fabric was at work yesterday, and I was finally able to tell her that in addition to the bag, I made a dress from some of her fabric.
We got to talking and she mentioned she'd been making bibs for her granddaughter, which then led to a general workroom discussion about how awful modern bibs are (too short and don't stay closed), which then led to her talking about how her family has been telling her she should make and sell them.
Like me, she really doesn't want to have to put in the massive effort and time that would require, for little monetary return. She said something that really resonated with me about why we both sew unique things and don't want to do manufacturing/production sewing:
"I like how sewing opens up more options for what I can have in my life."
😊
