Dealing With Criticism
Julia had celebrated the end of the challenge by creating another clothing with the grey dress parts used in the challenge. After all that happened during the challenge, Julia shared, “In the face of criticism, petty or otherwise, constantly challenge yourself to respond with equal parts grace and hard evidence. Never get defensive.” The art teacher had suffered criticism during those days.

Mending
Julia also said, “Who mends clothes anymore? With clothes so cheap and nearly disposable, it doesn’t seem worth our time … So much so that this is a lost art. Maybe we should reconsider this. Maybe it’s worth fixing our clothes, so they continue to serve us. Maybe if we spent more on durable, ethically produced clothes, we’d value them more and be more motivated to fix them. Seems like a better option than the landfills.”
