The last few months I’ve had the honor of having a column on The Thread — the fascinating and inspiring blog by Fabrics-Store where I talk about the power of sewing.

Because it starts so young and because it’s so constant, you become accustomed to the voice. It feeds you lies, but you start to perceive them as truths.
