have just heard on the radio that sales of sewing machines and sewing patterns are up, as people are becoming more aware of the poor conditions that workers endure to provide us with the mass produced clothing that we are so used to buying cheaply...plus of course the cost of transporting these goods to the UK. Can you use a sewing machine competently? can you sew in general? I am someone who is hopeless with needle and thread, and much as I would like to produce clothing myself. I never ever finished anything i started in school ...we were meant to make a skirt and a nightie but my efforts were not successful..as someone else useless at sewing has just said on the radio, I never even finished making my cookery apron! My friend said she would go to bed on a saturday night and get up Sunday to find a new dress that her Mum had made for her overnight - how I would love to be that nimble with a needle!
