Focus on Quality

Sometimes, I have to sew.

Sometimes, it’s part of a gift. Like a Christmas gift that is long overdue.

Always, it takes forever.

It takes forever because, like my work, I have an innate focus on quality. Unlike my work, I do not do it often. Therefore, I am really meticulous and slow.

One thing I do that takes time (besides just threading the needle) after every stitch, I tie a knot. I’m not a huge fan of sewing, and I don’t want to have to resew it just because one thread breaks.

Well, if it’s my own clothes, I tie one occasionally, but when it’s for other people, like cooking or taxes, I have the highest quality standards.

Poor lighting, PR photo. It's not dirty - it's white, and the thing I'm sewing to it has dark feet.
