a lot of them still do

I think you meant "sew" not "see"?

Thank you@SWisGoingWoke
Well, yes. My great-grandmother became a seamstress after she was freed. She’d been known for her skill at quilting and embroidery, which she used for embellishing the clothing she made.

@bijouxbroussard how awesome to know your history! I know very little about mine. I think history is undervalued. I only know my grandfather left Spain because of the Civil war. Why and or details— I don’t know. He found my grandmother in Cuba. That’s all I really know.
I hope you inherited some of her work!!!
@Mindful My middle sister has a quilted vest that she made. Pop gave it to her, and she has it on display in her home.

Drudgery. I would have died of boredom. I'd rather be a cook or a housekeeper.
@Mindful Before the construction and sewing there was also spinning fabrics too.... Lots of people do that again these days...growing the flax and raising the alpaca and sheep some people still do that too...

That’s a good thing. Some day we will have a situation when there is no technology due to power outages or war, or some unbeknown natural disaster. It good to keep some old fashioned skills alive@Elevatorpitches
@Mindful I used to read Mother Earth News
lol

Actually I prefer my own homemade quilts to China-made
