While thinking aloud to a sewing friend about the process of making this dust ruffle, I realized that I would be running 20 yard lengths of fabric through the machines several times as I hemmed, serged, gathered, and attached the pieces. I confessed that I like mindlessly sewing long seams. There is something hypnotic about the combination of the sound of the motor, sitting still, and basically staring into one focused spot. My friend instantly understood, replying, "
Listen - there are days when all I should do is take the needle out of the sewing machine and just sit there with it running."
I am still laughing.
