Your freewrites are so fun, so full of surprises.
You are the master of the unexpected, and the fresh twist.
I still have some of this stuff in my sewing bins!
I've never used it--too intimidating for me. I've put in one zipper. By hand. No using the zipper attachment on the machine. Nor the buttonhole attachment. I sew buttonholes by hand.
(No, I don't sew. Not really. Just some kid costumes for Halloween, and some mending.)
Interfacing is an extra layer of fabric that is sewn into your garment. It appears in collars, facings, button plackets, and other spots in the garment that need a bit of support and shaping.
When I first read the prompt, I remembered interfacing from back in the day when I made a lot of my own clothes. I made jackets, slacks, button down shirts, all sorts of things that required interfacing. But I wasn't 100% certain interfacing was the right word for the stuff I used to stiffen parts of clothing. I had to look it up. My having to look it up, and finding that primary definitions of interface were technology related, gave me the idea for the story, which then wrote itself. Thanks for reading, commenting and just being you! I like this one. I have been spotty on liking my freewrites for a while now. Why is it that the ones I like the most earn next to nothing?!
Mark Twain thought his best novel by far was the one about Joan of Arc
Nobody today has heard of it...
"The Nutcracker" was the least favorite (most disliked!) composition of Tchaikovsky.
There is no accounting for taste!
I love all your freewrites.
And now you have SEWING and tailoring to add to your list of accomplishments.
I am utterly in awe of you!
