About
+What is a bobbin?
++ My parents were swamped with grad school, and I stayed with my grandparents often when I was little. + My grandma operated a foot pedal sewing machine and made clothing, curtains, and even seat + cushions herself aside from her day job overseeing the county's import export company. + She agreed to teach me how to sew when I found her stash of buttons one day. + Bobbins hold not just threads, but know-how that reduced the amount of labor in producing cloth. + Likewise, culture is held, and we weave our stories into new ones. +
