Odete Nascimento

Odete Nascimento first met sewing while recently retired from correcting uneven fringe lines and overbooked color appointments, when she counted the garments in her wardrobe and found that guilt had become the largest category. She argues with the sewist who calls a new dress necessary because the existing dresses are finished, then argues with garment-count guilt until the unworn blouse has a fitting change and a postponement date.
