Denim Designer Maurice Malone's Love / Hate relationship with sewing

"In the days when I worked at my Havemeyer Street store, I handled denim so much, I found myself washing my hands every few hours, just so they wouldn’t permanently get a hint of indigo blue on them. Because sewing the denim shirts took so long, I now hate sewing anything that takes longer than 5 minutes. However, the shirts always end-up so beautifully done, I immediately want to make another!"
