Stitch in Time
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Traveling forward in time, I died twice. Both exactly at the same time, on the same day.

It's my 100th birthday. I'm on a boat where I fall. Someone kicks me into the water.
As I descend into the water depths I see visions of what will be. Only a few are noted before my passing. I struggle to find known success before dying. I'm traveling to fast to know outcome.

Many smiles are shared between me and another. Lots of endorphin producing and incredible moments of intimate ecstasy.

The world changes but I remain true to who I am.





So many things flash past, I wish I could travel trough time slower to experience them in real time.

My mom actually made that dress for a art history student in 1985!!! Back then she waa limited on the client's budget so I remember her using a heavy upholstery fabric to make the dress, she did sit & cut & hem all those rows of the edging on the sleeves(that took the longest!!), she used fabrics & furs available at her favorite fabric & craft store & as I recall, the dress was indeed heavy, it was a very good likeness & the art history student got an A!! (she had written a paper about the painting & the dress was part of her presentation for her final!!)

@Vee Dragon An Art Historian is not a seamstress they merely hired her mother to Reproduce the dress for his or her presentation about the painting

How neat...bet it was lovely.

The mother made the dress for an art student, who used it in a presentation about the painting.
The one making the dress and the student were different people.

Holly Therese

@Vee Dragon read the last bit again, the dress was part of the presentation, not the whole thing

Vee Dragon

Wait, the student bought a custom dress, and that got the student an A, even though the student didn't make the dress?

Really interesting to see how the ladies reverse-engineered that dress. I did think the fringe decoration on the sleeves looked like they were two layers of fabric, and when the garment was finished I felt that even more strongly. The fringes seemed to float rather than hang heavily as in the portrait. But overall, a beautiful project. Incidentally, the fact that the fabric changed color in the air is a chemical property of indigo, which is in both woad and indigo. As the fabric is removed from the dye bath, it magically changes color before one's eyes.

To everyone saying the dress was only trimmed in fur, if you look at the edge of her skirt where it's lifted off the groud, you can see the fur continues up the inside of the skirt. And like they said, it was significantly colder back then than it is now. The gown was likely fully lined.

Must have been cozy 😍😊

Amber would look great in anything especially the old stuff. She looks she just stepped out of the victorian era.
