Do You Make Your Own Clothes?

I. Re: 8 year-old Bangledeshis

They sew better than me. I knit better than them.

However, we do own the gold standard of sickeningly exploitative child labor. It's a hand-knotted silk Persian-style rug, bought by my parents in China in 1980 for like $50. The silk threads are very slender and there are many, many thousands of tiny knots. Only a child's hands could do this work and undoubtedly the work did some kid's eyesight no favors.

II. All the costumers out there

Can you link to photos of your work? And Lashbear, when you're posing for us, work it, baby.

My mother tried to teach me, hopeless. I can only mend, poorly, hems and such.
