It's another way of meditation because you're focused and relaxed.

It's a monumental job and it's definitely not easy. I can make hand-sewn ruby slippers for the next 10 years, and I will still be saying the same thing, it's not easy.
Creating high quality ruby slippers like the ones in the movie normally takes 3 months or more, up to a year at times, but without any distractions they can be done within a month.
This pair was made in quick time through meditation, and they represent the original ruby slippers when they were new.
