I had no idea they were out of fashion , so many people i know used them at least for repairs if not for sewing /embroidering etc... But reccessions usually see a returning of many who left the craft ... mirjam

The last time I was in a Joann Fabrics, the line for the cutting table was longer than I've ever seen. I think a lot are back to making their clothes, or at least for kids.

Money is tight for a lot of folks. They may be making clothing for the family, just making holiday outfits, or they might be making gifts. I was in line for fabric to be cut behind some people that thought zig-zagging the edge of plush would make good blankets for Christmas gifts. I did not have the heart to tell them how much the plush will stretch if you are not very careful. I stretch the plush on dress hem lines to have the lettuce leaf finish. Yes, the plush makes nice warm dresses or overdresses. Great for people who chill easily.

I wish they would have done that before Gail & I closed or Singer-Elna store.

It is great to see people trying to recycle clothing Mirjam.

Having a Mom & Pop sewing machine shop at one time, it is pleasing to hear.
