Lately I keep thinking about a REALLY USELESS ITEM, lol. Anyone ever use curtain stretcher? My grandmother used to have me help her put the curtains on the stretchers with her. Oh, how many times I stuck myself on those tacks. And I keep thinking about those things lately. Maybe I am getting senile....or wistful?
Oh, I never though of using it for making bags! I have one that is two sided; a sleeve side and a pant leg size(?), I suppose. It belonged to my dear Aunt Jessie who made all my school clothes until I learned to sew and then promptly told me to make them myself from now on! I was mad at the time but it forced me to develop my skills and I will always be grateful for that. It's got to be at least my age (58-5/6 y.o.)
I'll certainly use it more now!
