“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!
