Even though I am starting a day late, here are twelve memories or things to share with you this year. "On the first year of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a Sewing Machine in a Cabinet."
Dad bought this sewing machine on our first Christmas. It was expensive for 1973 about $600. It was something I missed and wanted badly. Grandma Schmidt went with him to pick it out. I used it so much that it wore out years ago. It made bed spreads, curtains, dust ruffles, prom dresses, PJ's and so much more.
Many times as I sat sewing you played at my feet and probably wished that I would stop. I finally did and now it sits ignored, having done its job. Hopefully along the way you all learned to sew and enjoyed the things you created from this machine. I was taught from my mother & she from hers. It is an important skill to have, even though not needed ss much now as in the past. Brayle is now interested in sewing. Yeah!!
