Makers like us want to make in a way where we aren’t making our slow fashion = fast fashion. We want to make in a way that is intentional and conscious and not overly excessive. But figuring out what that looks like can be incredibly tricky.

Each of us have to find a way to make that is inline with our values in order for our making practice to be truly congruent. Which we want cause congruency makes us feel good, and being out of alignment makes us feel wonky in spirit. So today, I want to propose a more generous way of thinking about restriction around what we make, because language matters. The language we use establishes the context of our thinking. If we feel restricted our urge is rebel - or mine is anyway :). Tell me to make less and all I want to do is make more. But that want is momentary and overcomeable with some thought and intention.
