I am in charge of sewing sleeves.
It is one of the fundamental roles in making a jacket.
Sewing a sleeve is not simply assembling two parts, it is creating something.
Sewing a sleeve is a creation, in my opinion.
I live it that way.
Because each sleeve is a story in itself.
It is a relationship between me, the jacket and the machine because the machine also plays a fundamental role.
Your role is to figure out how to fit this pearl into the frame.
The special thing about it is you must allow for some looseness.
It gives fit and harmony to the jacket, to allow the armhole to have other support.
For sewing, it is essential that everyone finds their own method simply because the rules are not enough.
Because however you are confronted with something it varies constantly because it is done by people.
These jackets are like creatures, not just objects.
Something I really liked that was underlined by Mr Gianni Canali, who interviewed me,
is that from the simplest to the most demanding sewing, it is necessary to do it with precision and effort.
Maybe this is what makes you feel as if you are not done,
you evaluate it because you know you could improve yourself,
because you are also confronted with your own limitations.
I mean, I cannot say even after 24 years that I know how to sew sleeves.
So, every day you challenge yourself.
This helps me deal with it with momentum and dedication.
