But is this yet another oh so cryptic message from Jack? All about not functioning or existing in the 'normal' way? All expressed through medium of embroidery.What bothers me about the flower embroidery is that the roots start before the soil, so part of them are in the air. That's not how flowers work.
IIt was Chris Packham’s birthday yesterday and his new No. 1 fan did not send him birthday salutations.

I will however by Cabal merch, although I’d rather not wait 73 years for Jack to make it once ordered.
Exactly this. My sister is a fantastic hobby sewer and knitter. She makes most of her own clothes and some for her husband, children and grandchildren. I would never ask her to make me something as I know how much time and effort it takes.The embroidery thing is cracking me up. I sew, knit, and make beaded jewellery. In fact, I make the vast majority of my clothes. Every time I put a picture up of something I've made, some well-meaning person will say, "Ooh lovely, will you make me one?" or something similar.
Normally I say "haha no, but here's a link to the pattern!" If they persist, I point out how ridiculously expensive my services would be. Occasionally I rant in private to a friend about how so many people think I should monetise my leisure time.
The other thing is...I'm pretty good, but I'm not a professional. I mean, I'm better at sewing than Jack is at embroidery! When I sew, I can fit my own body well, but I've never had to learn to adjust for someone who's tall or long-waisted or broad-shouldered etc. I'm also lazy at times, and I won't redo something that's a bit crooked or whatever because I'm the one who'll be wearing it. So I can't make things to a professional standard, but if I did lose my mind and decide to take commissions, I would nevertheless have to charge a very high amount due to the cost of raw materials and my time.
Every other crafter I know gets SO pissed off at being offered commissions, told to go pro, etc etc. It's one of the most common annoyances that we talk about - in fact, I was literally discussing this yesterday with a friend who does pottery as a hobby. It's something we all hate.
...so OF COURSE the one person who goes "yes my work is great and I should monetise it" is Jack fucking Monroe. Of course it is.
