I do, however use some of them interchangeably, the white ones and black ones, anyway : )<br /><br />I hope Mrs Lee is doing all right. Those skills are fading fast from the work force, my Mom was a pretty good seamstress back in the day and sewed my school clothes, which were fabulous and made me the envy of all the 'towny' kids. She still sews when she comes to visit, I save up my hemming and patching for her because I'm voted most likely to sew her own thumb to the door jamb if I so much as thread a needle : (anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703233313854600531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-28283837637325938612010-03-10T12:52:51.221-05:002010-03-10T12:52:51.221-05:00One of my biggest fashion fears is losing the butt...One of my biggest fashion fears is losing the buttons to my coats.

Now about the most I'll do is to shorten trousers.<br /><br />I have made my kids fancy dress outfits too. :) <br /><br />I love doing anything practical really. Woodwork, metal work, needlework.

I question whether you would have set out for a 20-minute walk in a T-shirt this morning, given that the temperature was only 5 degrees at 9 am.<br /><br />Ron: I wish she sold pies. If she made a pie as good as she sews a hem, those pies would be nommity-licious.<br /><br />DarcsFalcon: I don't know where I'd be without Mrs. Lee. My clothes have never fit so well. I never have to wear a belt because she adjusts all my waistlines to a T. I'm spoiled!<br /><br />LL Cool Joe: Do you make any of your own clothes now?<br /><br />Jenski: It took me a few tries to get used to the look of skinny jeans, but I figured out that as long as you get the shoes right, they can look pretty good.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-13416933765292108052010-03-09T16:49:50.733-05:002010-03-09T16:49:50.733-05:00Don't worry about Mrs. Lee - there are still w...Don't worry about Mrs. Lee - there are still women like me who look ridiculous in skinny jeans.
