I assume that the pattern companies thought that any association with actual age would put off younger would-be purchasers.Black Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399472362773743743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-47518372323801646682019-07-15T22:54:51.676+01:002019-07-15T22:54:51.676+01:00Thank you Lodi!

It's due in this autumn, which is why there are very few posts about actual sewing at present!

And isn't it sad that Vogue Patterns thought that gray hair alone was enough to indicate age.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05413150151279160155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-90992134270877498832019-07-15T01:16:20.428+01:002019-07-15T01:16:20.428+01:00Fascinating!

I inherited her love of sewing. <br />I'm wondering what your master's program is in, and if you know what the focus of your thesis will be?<br />I'm a new subscriber and loving your posts!Lodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777295136016723298noreply@blogger.com
