She was a marvelous seamstress; unfortunately, I wasn't that appreciative or interested in learning.<br /><br />How I longed to buy retail! ... then, on those (rare) occasions we'd go to the department store, I was sooooo embarrassed how she'd examine and critique the seams or zippers. ("Mu-TH-er!") <br /><br />Of course,nowadays I catch myself examining seams and wishing momma were still around.Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-858143791835649382.post-85161201513662502182012-01-31T13:06:31.883-07:002012-01-31T13:06:31.883-07:00What a special find that was!What a special find that was!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-858143791835649382.post-3725991075405853252012-01-30T19:09:37.997-07:002012-01-30T19:09:37.997-07:00Marti ..

I wish I'd inherited the love of sewing like my g'mothers, mother and aunt.

I think it may have inspired me to start sewing. And it probably caused less grief than any of the machines I have had since then.
