My Mom made most of my clothes. Beautiful dresses, red wool jacket and I most remember waiting for her to finish my red striped flannel nightgown. I was so soft and warm.I also remember my Mom sitting outside on the lawn on a quilt that she made. The kids in the neighborhood would sit and watch her sew and we would play. Wonderful memories about my Mom and sewing. I never could sew as good as her but I make some very pretty quilts. Back in the day my Mom made all her clothes buying from a store was for the rich.
