[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sounds like a book I would enjoy. I am very interesting in what is sometimes known as "distaff history". How ordinary people actually lived.

You could even rent time on a sewing machine in many fabric stores to make things if you could not afford one at home.

There were also civic women's clubs where you could find other women to sew with and teach you how to do things.

Mostly gone now. Can't get people out of their houses with a crowbar.

Not only that, but it is getting VERY hard for my wife to find nice fabric in person, and a lot of the on-line stuff is of poor quality.

She misses Hancock fabric. Jo-Ann is kind of sad, and largely for quilters (who makes quilts in Phoenix?!)

The local stores are largely for quilting or upholstery materials.

She is tall (5’ 10”), and getting the right proportions off of the rack is tricky.
