A month of months

The 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:

This is a quote from an All Songs Considered podcast with Sylvan Esso talking about why they listen to music that sounds nothing like the music they make, and pretty much nails why I listen to so much music. And the quote was too long for twitter.

"It's a record that's just so perfectly representative of the artist that made it, and it feels like such a pure missive or expression from that person and it doesn't sound like anybody else could make it. My favorite part about records like that ... is that they don't make you want to make music like that, what they make you want to do is make an even better record that sounds like you." ~Nick Sanborn http://n.pr/1HSjKZH
