Re: homemade clothes

My mom made most of my clothes in grade school. But starting in JrHi it just was not cool to wearing moms homemade stuff. That many years ago we were brainwashed consumers

My parents didn’t have that much money but we got a very good financial deal at two stores on three lines: Janzten, Bobbie Brooks and Darlene as I was a weekend model at their stores in Cleveland That continued through first year in college as I attended in Cleveland at CCC my freshman year.

How I now treasure homemade things ! So stupid as a child

Well you got to Jr.Hi! That’s better than my kids. After about 7 years of age, no way lol. It was ok with me, because my patterns were mostly for younger kids.

One time we had a wedding to attend and I got very ambitious. I made myself a very pretty floral skirt with a matching vest, a nice beige blouse and a pretty ceramic pin that matched the floral colors perfectly. I made Natalie a dress in the same material, with a large beige square collar that laid on top of the dress, beige stockings and beige shoes. I made Mike some darker beige shorts with straps (he was only 2 or 3), a white shirt, and a bow-tie in the floral material so he matched us. He had beige knee-socks with his shorts and tan shoes. Lol how corny was I???!!!!! Lol it’s amazing they’re not in therapy!
