Good for you on the sewing thing. I...Hi Jackijo...<br /><br />Good for you on the sewing thing. It is frightening just how reliant we have become on third world labor for our basic necessities.<br /><br />As for farm work? Gosh it is hard to get these girls to do their chores. Befuddles me at times. Hopefully they will look back on this experience and (like many awful things) they will miss the outdoorseyness of it all...<br /><br />Cheers!Allan Stellarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664417640753179655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559482056018458626.post-23605886435132757402010-07-08T14:38:52.254-07:002010-07-08T14:38:52.254-07:00Hi Jackijo...

So far I haven't found any place to buy fabric woven here in the USA. I have found a place that gets it's cotton from the USA, ships it internationally to be woven, then sells it back in the USA.<br /><br />Even if we buy used (which I find myself doing more and more because it is a great way to recycle) sewing is a skill that can be useful in taking anything to make over.<br /><br />I grew up on the a farm where we worked all day long in the summer, and had chores after school. It is hard work. It is not always fun. But you get to be outside and you sleep well at night.Jackijohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811235250150517857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559482056018458626.post-45474174092339112712010-07-07T10:58:39.726-07:002010-07-07T10:58:39.726-07:00Probably will start the new schedule in August.
