Some fantastic advice on sewing from 1949

[Retired Member southey]

My sister works as a seamstress, she has recently been restoring an old singer to use, and found this gem of information in the user handbook

I think we could all take something away from this instruction

I'll pass on the powder and lipstick I think...


(undecided about the dress atmo )

 

[R.Lewis]

That is just fantastic. A definite life lesson there...

Wow I love the word Lackadaisically, this trumps my previous longest word I know of infrastructure - I've just gotta remember how to spell it

Oh and good advice too - I'll be passing that on to my wife then ..... [where's a hospitalised smiley when I need one?]

 

[Dreadhead]

never sew without my lipstick!

You guys are so lackadaisical. Indifference clearly predominates.

I really think this thread should rightly be MUCH more picture heavy.... just so I can see where I'm going wrong, of COURSE....

It is only procrastination ... and the use of polysyllabic, sesquipedalianistic terminology....

Less of your lip, boyo, or I'll be wanting my size 11 7" tranny platforms back.... I should bring them to NW and we can have a cinderella style try on, then we'll know who cross dresses by the ones who can make a circuit of the fire in 'em. You bring the dresses
