I sew barefooted because I am always barefooted. My feet hate shoes and socks. What my husband thinks is the most weird is when I talk to the dolls and stuffed animals I am making. I also cover them up and make sure they are laying in a comfortable position when I am finished with them for the night and when I store them in plastic ziplock bags to keep them clean, I leave a small part of the zipper open so they can breathe. My Mom does the same things. So I tell my husband I come by it honestly.
