I remember Polished Cotton. I loved to make clothes out of it. Always "looked so expensive"! My mom sewed all our clothes and she would use the flour sacks. I couldn't wait to get my "first store bought" dress which was for Easter when I was 12. I LOVED that dress. But now I would give anything for my Mom to be here to make my clothes. She used to cut patterns she designed herself out of newspaper or any type of paper she could find, even tissue paper lef tover over from Christmas. We didn't have a lot of $$ when I was growing up but we were always dressed "well". I remember how beautiful my Mama was and she never owned a store bought dress until she was much older. My Mama also worked at a sewing factory that made military uniforms and I remember her talking about "quotas" they had to meet.

Yes, I think we can all "remember when...!
