Sewing and embroidery really was a skill to learn in those days I'm guessing - passed down from grandmother to mother to daughter. It's so important that we continue this (and also teaching your children how to cook, etc). These are all skills are are sadly dying with the age of technology and convenience. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-13215426738217928042009-09-11T02:06:05.264-07:002009-09-11T02:06:05.264-07:00That blouse is a beauty !
