I had not thought of it, and was looking for a good sewing term.Leslie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10020364290777579994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-66255402918566238392016-03-26T13:47:37.663-05:002016-03-26T13:47:37.663-05:00I had making in my first version and maybe could h... I had making in my first version and maybe could have left it at that. I rejected "stitching" and "confection." What do you think of just "craft"?

I realize that if you think too much about what hechura means you can get locked into sewing terminology but for tone here, making.Leslie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10020364290777579994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-5274419664474713012016-03-24T09:02:33.250-05:002016-03-24T09:02:33.250-05:00Right.

If it has a contemporary, colloquial feeling then I'm sure handicraft is superannuated here. If it has a slightly old-fashioned ring to it then maybe an old-fashioned word is good.
