Have you ever been shopping for that perfect pair of pants, top or dress and try as you might you just can’t find the right thing? One is too long, one is too short, one is too big, no matter how hard you try there is no such thing as the perfect pant, top or dress.
So you have two choices, you can take home the item that doesn’t quite meet your needs or you could go home with nothing…unless, you are someone who sews and feels skilled enough to turn the nearly great pants, top or dress into that perfect item you were looking for in the first place.
A person who sews is happy to say the pants are great but they need to be taken up, the top is fabulous but needs to come in around the waist and the dress is great but needs an extra dart in the back.
A person who sews understands that every shape is different and to make it work for the individual it will need to be tailored.
A person who sews is happy to modify an item in order to get the best possible outcome.
Sewing is a great metaphor for incremental innovation. If you don’t need to start from scratch, why would you? If a tweak or a larger modification would turn a process or item from ordinary to extraordinary, why not think like a person who sews and take it in, run it up and put a dart in it?
