“We as a whole culture, have become too dependent on the supply chains and live as if that’s never going to change. This virus is a wake up call for those paying attention, that NOTHING in this life is a given and what we’ve taken for granted for far too long, can evaporate in a heartbeat.”

Truer words have never been spoken. I wish I knew how to sew. My mom was a master seamstress.

She used to take me to Clothworld when I was a kid. I hated Clothworld, so boring! She would look through pattern books for hours, then buy what she needed to go home and make from scratch her own professional clothes, because she could not afford to buy them in the department store at the time.

The clothes that she made were amazing. She could have made a career at that.

My mom is an old and wise soul. She is my greatest treasure.

Go forward, every corporation will be required to list the risk in their supply chain when they file the quarterly reports.

It’s just not the law yet.

But it will be.

Our 5th grader won the grand prize with her quilt at the county fair. Don’t let a little 5th grader beat you. Learn to sew.

I remember Clothworld!

Ahhh....good memories.

LOVED looking at those ‘teen’ patterns, as a little kid :)

Had an aunt and a dear family friend who both sewed. Loved spending time with them, especially when they were sewing.
