True cost and "value"

Although I may not always be sewing something or blogging about it, the one thing I do DO regularly is try to read sewing/crafting/fashion industry related articles (mostly via facebook and bloglovin).

Three particular posts have struck a chord with me recently:

 -An article (via Ecouterre) by Jasmin Malik Chua on how conditions within the Cambodian garment industry are causing workers to literally drop dead on the job.

- This round up of responses often heard when non-sewing folk discover someone can sew (by Jess of The Sewing Rabbit).

-Molli Sparkles very detailed post on how he worked out the $$ value costing of his most recent art quilt creations.

Hope you find these as interesting to read as I did :) 

Happy sewing (and reading!)
