Well, a Seamstresses does work with clothing they are not wearing. 😆

And the best part: every so often, an old widower comes to the guild looking for someone to darn his socks, so they keep one girl who actually is a seamstress around.

Terry Pratchett is so fun

Fun, and full of little wisdoms. Loss of a Great.

Comfort books for sure. Actually, fuck all this, I'm going to Discworld

Honestly hope one of the big streamers can convince the estate to do an adaptation

I’m a big fan of the whimsy. I should read more of the series tbh I only read the color of magic and I the light fantastic. Which book is your personal fave?

Me too. I love all of the Vimes - love Vimes. Monstrous Regiment was great as well.
and the Witches (the old ones, not the newer ones as much), all of their books lol :) oh and the old Death ones are pretty good too - mort. Reaper man.
Time to escape.

I’ve heard the death books are really good too. Not sure if I want to continue with the Rincewind series or pick up somewhere else

This is straight out of Seattle history of the late 19th century. Prostitutes listed their occupation as "seamstress" on the city rolls because prostitution was illegal. I highly recommend reading about Madame Lou Graham. You might recognize her. 😉
