She who dies with the most fabric wins.....

I also have a couple treadle sewing machines. One I’ve used before. I think the other one needs repair.

Two treadles! I have one I haven’t used, my two main machines are an ancient black Singer that does forwards and backwards only, and a 50’s tan Singer than does fancy stitching by turning buttons. Hug collects sewing machines because he can fix them, they’re for resale and he has some info on turning electric machines into treadles.

There are no jobs here so we have many alternative methods of making money here and there. Low overhead is the key...

It’s very feasible to make underwear - like short bloomer things - but bras??? If you have any ideas let me know. I already can’t stand most out there - itchy, polyester, tiny straps, etc.
