About the song: Our bodies and spirits hold the story of who we are. Evidence of the fixes and wear-and-tear—no matter how obvious—makes us all the more beautiful, just like a mended garment.

Some sewing vocabulary referenced in the text:
• Felled edges – tiny, invisible hems, sewn by hand
• Ply – twisting strands of thread together for strength
• Darned – mending holes, often in socks or gloves
