Sewing?
Not my forte,
definitely not.
I can’t darn
I can’t knit
I certainly can’t crochet.
What can I do?
Well, I can turn up my jeans
as I’m rather short.
You see, I’m a writer
…and so
it doesn’t matter what I wear!

At one point in my life, I sewed, knitted, crocheted, and darned. Now I write and buy new socks.

Chris, my mother was a professional seamstress with her own business. She could make something out of anything, such as a three piece suite out of unwanted drapes for my father. Truth. Sewing must be a skill that skips a generation because I can’t do anything with a needle and thread. What an absolute failure I am in my mother’s eyes.
