I wish I were British because then I could call this blog “Mind the Nap” (like “mind the gap”), but I’m not British so that wouldn’t really make sense. I am, however a medical student. I neither know how to suture (yet) nor own a serger (yet). But the name was catchy.
I decided to learn how to sew in January after watching this John Oliver diatribe about fast fashion stores and the conditions in their factories. While I can’t afford to not shop at places like Old Navy and H&M, I figured I’d be able to make some changes to my wardrobe and how I think about the clothes I wear. All that being said, I definitely just spent a ton of money at the Old Navy sale last week. So there’s not really a social impetus behind my sewing habit.
Since I’ve got the summer (mostly) off, I’ve decided to do a project a week for the rest of the summer. This blog is mostly for me to document my progress and to share with friends (without spamming my FB page).
