Comments on: Skirt Looks Stupid! http://momilies.susabelle.com/?p=417 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 04:15:37 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.39 By: Jill http://momilies.susabelle.com/?p=417#comment-1764 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:26:17 +0000 http://momilies.susabelle.com/?p=417#comment-1764 I inherited my mother’s sewing stuff. She had patterns I remember from when I was little all the way up to the dresses she made for my bridesmaids for my wedding. She taught me to read a pattern when I was old enough to come to the fabric store and pick out my own clothes. She made most of my clothes when I was younger and I still bought patterns, fabric and notions when I was a teen and 20 something. I would bring everything to her and ask her to make it for me. (She said I always challenged her sewing abilities since I wanted this skirt and that bodice and those sleeves – sometimes off of 3 different patters!)

I have stored away some of the older patterns – many of them back in style now – to be used sometime in the future. My sister and I went through all her notions and I got the lions share of them since I do more sewing than she does. I loved going through everything – all the memories it brought back.

I’m glad you got this woman’s patterns (Oh, yes, I write on mine too as did my mother.) so that someone will treasure them and use them again. :)
