My Nana was a seamstress and she had her very own sewing room. She did alterations for the neighborhood women and I know she heard a lot of gossip. Her sewing machine was in the very center of the room, a 1935? Singer with that tan dragon skin finish. I forget the model # but it is with me now. It has been passed down through the years and well loved and used. My Nana and Mom are very present with me every time I use it.
Wonderful memories to share.
