lilttownmommie I can only wish that I had lived back when times were so much better. My grandmother practically raised me, so at a young age I began learning the important things in life such as cleaning, cooking, and sewing. My grandmother started me out at 3 or 4 years old...

lilttownmommie actually we are lucky if the clothing makes it through even one child, my 6 month old daughter has out grown clothes so quickly some she has only worn twice at most and they are falling apart, it is rediculous, and its not even like she is outside runing and...

peavey I agree. Nothing is quality any more. When my daughter was in the third grade (she's 37 now), she was given a pantsuit which she wore to school until she outgrew it. Then we gave it to her younger cousin, who wore it and passed it down to a niece. The niece...

villageanne Years ago everyone made all their clothes and they were beautiful. Just look at pictures of the pioneers. I can sew without a pattern but I often use a pattern and tweak it to make it the way I want. I even use several different patterns and make an original...

suscan It has changed,my Grandmother could sew an outfit by just looking at it,with no pattern. I do sew but I have to have a pattern. You are right , a lot of items are made so poorly, and the materials used is shoddy.

Netsbridge According to the Bible, one only goes to hell for refusing Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior. Meaning that one only goes to hell if one so chooses.

mircea2007 It's very true what you just said, because the country is run by politicians and not by the people for the people, politicians have a lot of interests and they don't care about the good of the nation. Do you agree with me judysims? Only run by intrests and...

gifana No matter where I lived at the time I would never have voted for Clinton, the most immoral man (besides JFK) that ever sat in the White House. He should have been sent to prison for perjury yet he was not even tried.

crazynurse Oh yes, you are so correct! Most of the clothing is made overseas, and the 'models' for size are so very small. I also firmly believe that 'home economics' needs to be brought back to the high schools. Girls AND BOYS need to take it, and it needs to include...

infamousaunty Wow, Mrs. Sims... I know how to sew, and my marriage is nicely intact. And yes, the workmanship is paltry in by far in comparison to much of the tailoring one sees these days. No, we haven't gotten used to uneven hems. It's just that many women today...
