This Substack is my digital atelier—a space where we unravel threads, stitch together stories of resistance, and celebrate the poetry and efficacy of making things last. Expect musings on clothes, the memories they release, the teachings they provide, the women who wear them and the ones who made them. Oh, and crochet.
