I once saw a little gipsy girl her mother had made her a coat out of an animal food sack.

Re: Re: Goldiec, my mom talked to me about this being a part of her teen years.
Sassy, I wish I had the talent your Mom has. My aunt was a wonderful seamstress too. She grew up during the depression and she would take old rags and make doll clothes out of them when she was young. She used to get into trouble for taking the rags.

She used to make dresses for school from the flour sacks. Today, she is a master seamstress. She made my clothes during grade school.

Good Afternoon
Sassy, this was amazing for people that really needed some help along the way. It was a hard time but people did survive. It gives me hope for the world we live in today.
