I remember learning to make bound buttonholes. Either in home ec or 4-H, probably in the late 50's or early 60's. Never turned a collar, but did make a new one for a barn jacket one time. Only part that was worn was the collar. Never could figure out why?!
Brings to mind a saying from the 30's: Probably learned from my grandparents who lived through the depression.
Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, or Do without!!!
Too bad we strayed so far afield before we realized how true these words really are!
