1/22: sewing talk

I hem my own pants and skirts when necessary, but hemming the sleeves of a lined jacket is beyond my comfort level so I take jackets to an alteration shop in town. I went to pick up two jackets today, and the seamstress chatted with me a bit about the jobs currently in her queue. She has such a nice manner, and it was so fun to hear someone talk about sewing. I used to be around that kind of talk all the time, growing up in a house with a costume-designer mother, but now it's so rare for me to find myself in that sort of conversation. It was an unexpected small delight.
