Hold the phone: you have to read this

It is no secret to those who live with this blogger that the reason I blog is to hear from my blog readers.

That is absolutely the best part of being here sewingontheedge

My mother calls me to discuss the interesting comments you leave. My husband calls when he is out of town to talk about a good point some reader has raised and to ask my response to it.

I love feeling connected to other sewing women around the world. I love knowing that the weird stuff I might think makes sense to someone else somewhere else. 

That, and not just this is what I made, is why I do this.

So on that theme I must share with you a link, well two links actually, to some words in Fast Company on sewing. Let's face it, sewing is not covered a lot in places like Fast Company, owing to the general impression that we represent slow company, slow cookers, and things only grandmothers might do (not to dis the grandmothers being one and clearly understanding we are the original hipsters).

These links were sent to me by wonderful a blog reader named Bonnie, and thank you very much Bonnie for sharing.

Enjoy.

And as always feel free to comment:

And, just as interesting:

Fashion's future might rest on an old technology: glue
