Jackie recounts some juicy bits from her thesis work on E-Textiles: the history of embroidery as a feminine craft and as a tool for activism for some certified bad bitches. This spurs convos around art vs. craft, which accidentally aligns perfectly with subsequent convos on sewing your own wedding dress and the confusing branding around home economics. Warning that we get off topic by the end but if you stick with it you’ll learn about Jackie’s super secret real estate plans.
