I COULD SURE USE SOME PIN MONEY

Today, we do not give pins a second thought. This was not always the case. In the 1800's, every woman cherished her thimble, her set of scissors, and her set of pins. Pins were such a luxury it became a custom to give brides money for pins; hence, the term pin money.

    Now they give new brides extra cash for Wonder Hangers, Deluxe Rechargeable Clothes Shavers and Ceiling Fan Dusters.

    I think that I saw a version of Sue's 8th grade dress on television last night. Oo-la-la! ;o)

    So did it have a big gaping hole in it? Sue wore dresses in highschool that were so short it didn't look like she had anything on but her coat.

    When I cut the interfacing shape out of the side of the dress it was while I was constructing it so the whole thing went in the trash along with the sewing machine.
