Do You Remember What The First Thing You Ever Sewed?
Comments (34)I think the first real item I made was a yellow plaid roll-up sleeve blouse in Home Ec. I had no clue that matching plaids would be that involved. Since I was in high school in the 60's I remember making a 2 piece lined wool suit like Jackie Kennedy and of course had the matching pill box hat. Next I made a dress out of a pretty green dotted swiss. We didn't have room to cut out our garments in the Home Ec. cottage so we were taken into the cafeteria to use those tables. When I started making my dress I realized that I had not only lost the back pattern piece to my skirt but also the fabric. My Mother and I went back to the store to buy more but they were out of that color. I ended up replacing the back of my skirt with white organdy and applied a white bow in the back of the waist. What had started out as a rather plain dress became a nice church dress which I wore for quite a while. The dress that gave me such fits turned out to be a favorite of mine. Now I really LOVE to sew and also enjoy "thinking outside the box". Some things are made special because of the work involved. It makes you appretiate the results....See MoreI do! Do you?

Comments (42)Yes, S&H stamps were worth cash. Years ago Chicago had a trio of brothers who were infamous burglars. Pops Panczko was one of the three -- famous for being arrested over 200 times. I can't remember if he ever did serious time, but he could break into any safe. One of his memorable statements to the press was, "I'm a teef! It's what I do." Twenty years ago I knew a younger gal, Judy, through a service club. She was much younger than most of the group's members. One day the topic of Green Stamps came up, and some of us were reminiscing about them -- much as we are in this thread. Judy was all ears. "So *that's* what it was all about," she said. She remembered sitting at a table with her siblings, required to paste green stamps into booklets. It was endless. There were hundreds, thousands of the booklets. It was, "Don't ask. Just DO it." Judy's uncle was Pops Panczko....See MoreSpeaking of coloring...whos remembers this...
Comments (15)I think it was called Artex. My mother did a LOT of fabric painting back in the day. I think she collected every colour tube and had a special case to hold them all in....See MoreSpeaking of neighbors...remember the dog sitting/beach camping debacle
Comments (17)So sorry Always that you have been treated poorly by the other person. It is too bad that she continues to show her true nature in such an unflattering way. I would kill her with kindness. It is a wonderful way to confuse people I would say glowing things about her and say I'm sorry she feels that way but this this and this I like very much about her and I would let it get back to her. But I would not go back with her if she asked. I don't trust people like that but I just want them to wish they could be my friend again. It's a sly kind of revenge. So sorry that happened to your dogs sleeperblues. I honestly don't understand that kind of thinking I am looking after Dorothy the doodle right now and I can't imagine treating any dog other pet like that. She is a member of my family when she's here. She has a bed to sleep on right beside us like our other two dogs. Our cats sleep downstairs with the DS and DN. Dorothy is 7 this year and she has been coming to my house since she was 3 months old. What I do when I dog sit, cat sit or pet sit parrots etc is I take a daily picture and make a a short journal entry everyday. I then make a little book for the clients. I also send texts or emails of course but use other pictures for the texts. They seem to appreciate my efforts. People who have pet sitters could require something like a daily time and date stamped photographic update via email/text. It might curtail some of the shenanigans. I just do it because I actually enjoy the mini creative process. Letting people know their pets are healthy and happy makes me feel good too....See MoreUser
