Stop telling me how to do it faster.

I hand sew. Every time I tell someone that, they ask “oh why don’t you get a sewing machine?”

I don’t want to.

Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I don’t know that sewing machines exist and money can be exchanged for goods and services? Do you tell people who knit to buy a knitting machine?

“It would go a lot faster on a machine!”

Who told you faster was the goal? I’m not a factory. I don’t sell the things I make. I would get zero benefit from making things faster. And if it was all about speed, buying things pre-made is definitely faster than sewing on a machine! So why bother sewing at all? Just buy it!

Let me enjoy my slow hobby.
