You could find what you want, sometime...Go on eBay. You could find what you want, sometimes in superb condition. I have hoarded since the War, and kept things (having lots of space) (my early experiences are of being in somewhat deprived situations). I used a sewing machine from 10, and knitted from 7. Have utterly failed in getting grandchildren to make ANYTHING. Money too available now. I sell a lot online nowadays - all my own -hoarded stuff and deceased relatives' things. England started buying the cheaper cotton from the Far East in the 80s and it has been downhill in actual quality from then. There is no point now in making things that last. I have sewed all my long life and made just about everything. You would probably be surprised how collectable some things like fabric are today.Cassandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001867295510218749.post-54823926889862785022012-08-08T00:16:38.769+01:002012-08-08T00:16:38.769+01:00So take up knitting.
