This is folk for sure, but I also wondered about it being in the unique category because I really think this would make for a cute song in a commercial. The lyrics are awesome! I'm glad the music was fairly simple so I could just enjoy the story. Great fun! I like all the visuals and the creative ending too!

Perfect tone on the vocal... not too much reverb, thank you! I can understand every word. Love the lyrics, it tells a cute story and puts me in the rocking chair in front of all the action. Very fun, cute and creative song.

Lyrics
I?m just an old sew and sew;
I?ve got a needle in my hand wherever I go,
A quilt in the frame and one in my head
and a bag of old scraps tucked under my bed.
I?ll stop sewin? on the day I stop livin?
It?s a little that I?m keepin? and a lot that I?m givin? (away)
One gal?s work is another woman?s play
I?m so glad God made me this way?
I was cut out little as a woman of the cloth
In our big family, lots of buttons fell off.
Mama says, ?Katie, will you sew ?em for me?
You handle that needle so naturally? CHORUS
Then I grew to be an older lass.
I took a little high school sewing class
Rippin? out stitches and sewin? up seams
Puttin? pretty patches on my old blue jeans. CHORUS
The kids came along, and I couldn?t stop.
Sewin? late at night till my eyes would pop
Makin? life special with homemade clothes
Calico dresses with the matching bows. CHORUS
I?m gettin? old now, but I won?t wilt
I?ve gotta get started on my next quilt
And when I run out of fabric, I?ll expire
Until then I?ll be stitchin? to my heart?s desire.
I?m just an old sew and sew
I?m just an old sew and sew
I?ve got a needle in my hand where ever, ever, ever?
Where ever I go!
