I was folding fabric yesterday and for some reason was remembering buying fabric at JC Penney. The things they pull fabric through to measure the fabric too. My husband just mentioned the other day about drinking water from the garden hose. My mom always used pants stretchers on my dad's work pants. Sprinkled and ironed everything. Could never understand why she dried the clothes outside, even in the winter, then made them wet so she could iron them dry again. They had to be put in the fridge first though. It was Teaberry gum in our house. Never had a TV in my room til I was married, in the 80's.
