Mama's Sewing Skills and Mountain Common Sense
Mama was a prolific sewer, and her talent was truly remarkable. She had a unique ability to decipher complex situations with her mountain people's common sense, which allowed her to create beautiful garments with ease. When I was just four years old, I admired a dress in a local department store's window, and Mama noticed my fascination. She nodded in approval and suggested we visit the cloth store to find similar material. Miraculously, she found the exact same color and type of fabric in the basement of the Belk store. With careful measurements and precise cutting, Mama created an identical replica of the dress, complete with lace details.
Mama taught me many valuable lessons about sewing, and I'm grateful for the time she spent teaching me this art. Even as a toddler, she explained the importance of backstitching at the end of a seam to prevent unraveling.*
