|
| requisite is that you have a passion for
| |
| | is that you have access to a sewing

| |
| | a used one at garage sales, a flea market
|
| where I grew up. The fabric selection
| |
| | or a newspaper ad. The sewing machine is
|
| was minimal really because the emphasis
| |
| | your friend, the most important tool
|
| was on home decorator fabrics like
