When my husband left me for a coworker, I was devastated. In the middle of the heartbreak, I found myself surrounded by fabric I’d impulsively ordered at 2 a.m. with no memory of buying it. To get through the lonely nights, I started sewing\u2014making curtains, cushion covers, and anything that kept my hands and mind busy.<\/p>\n

She had spotted it through the window while picking up the last of his belongings. After asking if I’d made it, she quietly admitted that he had told her I had “no real talents.”<\/p>\n
She smiled and said, “I want to buy everything you’ve ever made.” Since then, she’s become my best customer.
