Thanks, Pegi. Lucky for me Ninna taught me to sew on her old treadle Singer many years ago. Soon as my legs were long enough to reach the treadle, I started sewing. I've been through a lot of sewing machines since then!
Of course Mom also sewed and so did my other grandmother, so it became a way of life for me. If I wanted something new, most of the time I had to make it for myself as I got older. I guess that was a good thing.
