“Nothing like Making a Telephone Blouse”
One thing that I really did a lot of – – was to buy patterns of different things that, with the right material, would like to wear and just found this “Telephone” material – and figured – that when working for the “Telephone Co.,” – one should let people know, that I like working there so much – I advertise that fact by wearing a blouse that I made – and it is just full of nice little “telephones!” Way back and then, that dresser with that really nice mirror had been in the Family for so long – guess that, when it came to moving we sold it and with a few other pieces of furniture – and they all had a nice heavy sheet of “marble” – that if we had kept them – they would be still in style – and so much better than the light weight stuff that is made today. But that is what happens – – when moving it is better to just get rid of the good stuff – and buy cheaper stuff down the road. That was well made, as I sitting on the edge of the dresser – just low enough for someone – and what a terrific mirror. It is really hard to get a real good mirror, today!
The PHOTO on the right was taken – just for a full length PHOTO of my newly made blouse with a favorite skirt of mine – a PHOTO just for effect – – do I like it this way, or would it look better another way? Always had to take a PHOTO with something that I had made – sometimes just looking in the mirror – you do not see what others would be seeing – and PHOTOS will give a better idea – is this a “keeper” or will I be giving it to someone, that just may like it a bit more than I do?
Back then, working for the “Telephone Co.,” there was a young girl that started working the same week as I did, and she did like some of the items I would wear and wanted the same thing but, in the material that she would provide me with. So, I would sew different things for her and for my “TIME” she would also give me a few yards of different materials – – some I liked and made things for myself – and there were some that I just never used – but it was FUN – and we did have FUN working together!
It is amazing how much, I was able to do back then – evidently, the days were longer than they are today – or maybe as we get older – we start to slow down – where is the rush – and why “RUSH” when you do not have too!
