Why yes, I *am* putting an inlay mesh into my backpack repair, why do you ask? 🤣🪡🧵

Tell me again why women were ever considered 'unsuited' to being surgeons? 🤣 #GenderBias #ILookLikeASurgeon #DiversityAndInclusion

Pic of inside of repair. A short piece of black bias binding is being stitched over the join between a grey zip and a blue canvas backpack.

How it's looking on the outside. It's called blindstitch because it's nearly invisible ie. the seam between blue canvas + grey zip appears as a continuous line without a noticeable change where the old one ends and the new one begins. The only clue is the faint outline of the patch around it- because, dammit, there's no skin layer to close over and hide the internal repair, like we do on people.

I’ve never understood why surgery was considered men’s work when women have spent centuries stitching, mending, and piecing intricate things together for both beauty and function. As if somehow those skills became masculine when the material was human tissue. #ILookLikeASurgeon

The quilting section at Spotlight makes the 'are women suited to surgery?' discussion seem ludicrous. Quilters have been piecing fabric and driving needles through complex designs for centuries. Needle holders, right angle forceps, cutting blades- all here. #ILookLikeASurgeon #MedSky
