I remember my mother talking about her mom getting a sewing machine. It was such a miracle for her because she had 6 children and her husband and herself to clothe and she made most everything! Plus the heavy winter quilts which were made from the boys old woolen pants. The sewing machine certainly has been a blessing. I thank God for mine every time I go to my sewing room.
