 Did you sew by hand or machine? You said that you made the nightie
by hand... Ah, yes, that was all done by hand
at school, yes, but when I was older I used to make clothes of course by
machine. Yes, I did make my trousseau every stitch by hand. Spun silk in very
delicate colours, pale pink and peach and pale greens, and those sort of...then
net edging, you know.
How long did it take you?
Oh, months and months, of course, while you were
courting, you know. I mean you couldn't get married straight away in those
days, like they do now. Very delicate stitches, and pure silk, you sewed with
too, yes.
