| Singer Alter & Fit Booklet from the 60's I found this little Singer booklet on ebay , last week. When it arrived in my mail box.. I was amazed at how well written it was. And some of the same basic rules of altering ,as we use today. This made me think of my sewing. I took Home Ec in school, as all girls did back then [in the late 60's]. I loved it. Kenny and I married as young kids. I wanted to sew, so the first year we were married, he bought me this sewing machine at Western Auto.. They are not made like this any more.. All metal parts. Very basic machine..None of the thrills of the modern day machine. I sewed on this machine for 25 years. And , if I remember correctly... it only went to the shop for minor repairs twice. It still sews to this day. I had put it away , but just could not part with it.. It sewed my daughters wedding dress, My daughter in law's wedding dress. And many dresses for Cindy growing up. I needed a belt for it, and could no longer find them in the fabric shops. I found one on ebay. I put it on and sewed a little on it. Brought back such fond memories.. |
