Sometimes they took out the middle seams and sewed in panels to make skirts.Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-22197794907649081152012-01-04T00:20:28.445+00:002012-01-04T00:20:28.445+00:00Did a lot of sewing in my younger days.

I remember my late sister, she lived in London and would shop for fabric after work on Monday and cut out her dress, hand sew it and have a new dress for Saturday night and the dance. I have always knitted and designed sweaters and the thrill of new yarn is an absolute delight and the possibilities endlesss. I do believe the young, in the 60's and 70's, had a unique sense of fashion and design. It was infinitely more exciting than just purchasing a new dress.<br /><br />Thanks for the beautiful memory<br /><br />Helen xxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-36381346140698114502012-01-02T23:50:45.026+00:002012-01-02T23:50:45.026+00:00Oh wow, me too!!
