I had the big honor of being interviewed by Fabrics-Store.com to start of 2020 with a bang! They sent me a few yards of this beautiful, bright, heavyweight softened linen Marigold fabric along with some brilliant interview questions.
I tell the story about my unconventional upbringing, why not living around a lot of people is good for me, and why I’m so passionate about sewing.
Here’s an excerpt:
Somehow when we are disconnected from the process of creating clothes, we receive the message that the clothes we buy are the “right” version of how a body should be, and our bodies are the “wrong” version. It feels like it’s something we need to fix in order to be beautiful, to have worth even. When you start sewing, you recognize that clothes are mere shapes of fabric cut and sewn together. There is no “right” and “wrong” shape. It starts to dawn on you deep within. It wells up in an indomitable force of confidence, the realization that your body is perfect. Right and wrong simply doesn’t exist.
