Home Sewing


Sewing


When the air cools, and the windows are open,
I wander back into the studio.


I fondle the fabrics, relishing the textures,
the muted colors, no brights here.


The bark cloth called to me.
I spied buttons, a perfect set,
rescued from a dress of my Mother.


They were joined into a new tote for the fall.
Four fabrics blended into a flirty, scalloped bag.


At times, the sewing, it feels like coming home.
