Before all the wonderful technology we have now. \u00a0I remember when I got stuck on a pattern, I had to travel 30 miles to my grandma&#8217;s house for help. Imagine when the first Singer machine in 1895.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jlFTlzC5rVI\">Singer<\/a>\u00a0machines then were not only a crafty useful tool but also a way to get some exercise. I cannot imagine wanting to sew and having to work that hard. \u00a0People were passionate about it evidently.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I&#8217;ve been told by family members sewing was mostly out of necessity. Especially during wartime when so many things required sewing. \u00a0My great grandmother worked at Camp Swift sewing during the war. \u00a0My grandmother sewed for both her children and grandchildren. \u00a0I am very happy to have been taught this wonderful art. \u00a0Not only did I have a very experienced one on one teacher but, I also gained knowledge of historical sewing.<\/p>\n<p>As grateful as I am for the experience of sewing without technology. \u00a0I&#8217;m doubly grateful for the technology we have now. \u00a0It is great that if I want to learn something I can login to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/lucyssewinglab\/\">Pinterest<\/a>, or search Google for anything I need. \u00a0I love the groups on Facebook that are so helpful. \u00a0I use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/GirlCharleeFabricsGroup\/\">Girl Charlee<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1478234842414853\/\">Sew Trendy,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/SewDivas1\/\">Sew Divas<\/a>, and one of my very favorites, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/sewingfordummies\/\">Sewing for Dummies.<\/a>\u00a0Help is always just a click away. When garments are complete posting photos is a great self esteem boost for those who like input. \u00a0Several members of the group are sure to comment and make you feel wonderful about your hard work.<\/p>\n<p>Shopping for supplies is much easier as well. \u00a0We don&#8217;t even have to leave our sewing room to find the supplies needed. \u00a0Amazon, the retail giant is always my go to for supplies. \u00a0I am sure there are others out there, and I have used them. \u00a0But, Amazon is just an easy and timely fix for what I need. \u00a0Yes, I may have to wait a few days for my items, but I never had to leave my home. \u00a0I cannot imagine sewing without technology. \u00a0It makes life so much more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>I only have one friend who sews currently. \u00a0If she was not home prior to technology my project would just have to wait until I could find her to help me. \u00a0Our life is certainly easier now isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sew, I was thinking the other day about sewing in the 1980s.
