He who loves an old house never loves in vain. How can an old house used to sun and rain, to lilac and to larkspur and an elm above-ever fail to answer the heart that gives it love?

Sew what?

 I like dresses. Every day, nice, flattering, but not ornate dresses. These are next to impossible to find. So I am going to try and sew a few. I got the fabric, the thread and the pattern...now I just gotta figure out what to do next!

I found these sites to help me:

All these "lost arts"...I think it's a shame. Everyone looks like cookie cutter repeats of everybody else. Time for some more originality and creativity!  I'll let you know how it works out.
