Sewing Lessons & FAQ
kim, my fear of my sewing machine was so deep-seated that if i don't sew for awhile, it STILL comes back (and i've even made whole garments on it)! sometimes i think alterations can be more scary to start than a brand new garment!- ShooShooBaby

1930's Diary Found in Manhattan Dumpster
i agree - very sad! whenever i come upon something very personal at a flea market, i feel like i hit pay dirt, but also kinda sad. like my 1947 bride book - i got it for $3, but geez! that lady kept such a great record of an exciting time in her life, and no one in her family wanted it? it's...- ShooShooBaby

1930's Diary Found in Manhattan Dumpster

Stockings In The Summer?
jbd, i've often worn stockings when dancing up a storm too, and it never bothered me much. of course, this is coming from someone who's alltime number-one favorite type of top to wear dancing is the cashmere or wool (though short-sleeve) sweater! lol all-in-all though... i am way too...- ShooShooBaby
