The old way to make new or mend old clothes...

Excellent Zaffs. Love the sepia treatment of a timeless craft, which, incidentally, my wife still practices every week. She loves her (electric) sewing machine.

Thankyou Ozi. My poor mother was the same; always making or mending clothes for the family. She was a seamtress when she met my father. She was very good at it, and that was her problem. If she as was not cooking or cleaning she was chaned to the sawing machine. Nowadays, repairing a broken zip or taking up a pair of jeans cost more than the jeans themselves. My aunty (mother's syster) learned a bit of sawing(making button holes, sawing buttons, taking up trousers and mending zips by hand so still helps my systers but she cannot use a sawing machine or do major work like makingor altering clothes. That was a trip down Memory Lane!
