The real meaning of a seam ripper

a seam ripper has taught me more about life

So I’ve been absent for a bit from here.

With the state of the world, especially the United States, I haven’t really felt like crafting much.

When things get tough, I often sink to a low spot, where I become sure I’m not good enough. I’ve grown enough over the years to realize that isn’t true, and I’ve become aware that I do it, and those are two good starting spots for digging out.

Today, while sewing another face mask so as to have plenty for work, I had a bit of an epiphany. It was suddenly quite obvious to me that no one has perfect sewing skills. Everyone struggles from time to time getting the pieces matched up, or the inside out lined up with the right side in.

I’m 100% positive this is true, and I’ll tell you why – because if it wasn’t, then why was the seam ripper invented?
