I landed a job in an insurance company and needed to have some nice things to wear. No pants or jeans then-just nice dresses.
I had never sewed before but began to teach myself. My Dad wanted to make something special for me and sent me this sewing chest.
A constant reminder of a Father's love for his daughter.
On our Second Wedding Anniversary I was able to make this dress and jacket.
Sewing has been a joy for me and still is.

Hello from Idaho and stop in from Sue's.
Isn't making thing nifty. Sound like you like to sew and I bet your glad you learned.
I find your rug interesting.
If you fine the time stop by and have a cup of coffee.
Sewing was not my thing. Our mother made all our cloths mostly from flour sacks. I liked to cook better than sew. Now, do not do either one.
You have SKILLS!
ROG, ABCW
to bad you live so far away... or else I would have been on your doorstep to ask you to make something wonderful for me ;-)

What a Treasure. Love the picture of your 2nd Anniversary...I can soooo relate to the outfit and the hairdo. As you know I have a lifetime of sewing, too. Enjoyed this post.
