I used to make all my own clothes but now a zipper costs as much as a ready made dress.Same with knitting wool instead of saving money it's become an expensive hobby.

Yes that's so true

If you look around you can still get bargains in clothes. I make a lot of woollen blankets. They used to cost me next to nothing but now quite expensive. I cant just sit and watch TV though I have to have something to do with my hands so I usually crochet. Not in the summertime though its too hot here

J F C is C w T E H b T Y B the W in 1814

Daphne Report 25 Feb 2009 15:09

Yes Jackie

I love crochet but it's the one thing I didn't get around to learning.I have a couple of lovely shawls I got in China where tiny children learn to do it in kindergarden,sewing and knitting is not as popular.

Daphne

I taught myself to Crochet. Did go to Night school to learn years ago but the teacher told me I was holding the hook wrong. I didnlt feel comfortable the way she was showing me. So I bought a book and taught myself.
Have been doing it for about 35 years now lol.
I made a lot of Shawls, Doylees et.. But I only use wool now as the cotton is too straining for my eyes.
