In a handsome Estate,
a Seamstress would be employed to
create a wardrobe for their clients.
What a treat having the Seamstress personally sew
a lovely and functioning seasonal wardrobe
for each person in the Family.

My favorite place to sew is at the kitchen or dining room table.
I learned to sew at my Mom's sewing machine that was housed in a sewing cabinet.
I created doll clothes and graduated into taking a Middle School Home Economics Class where we sewed
pull string bags and place mats.
In High School I took Sewing and medaled as highest Grade Point Average.
As a Married Lady, I stitched curtains and a few dresses onto more Window Treatments.
As an older Lady.....I am now ready to pull my sewing machine out of retirement and stitch again.
Lord, Please help me get over myself and stitch away.
In Jesus Name I pray, AMEN.
Thanx for sewing with me!
