I can't bear to throw some of them out. I even have her old sewing machine which weighs a ton and I really should pass it on to someone who might actually use it but I am having difficulty letting go of it.

Similar background and skills to my Mum - you have inspired me to talk to her about it more. So much of our talk has been of her parents and grandparents, not of mum - I must correct that soon.<br />I (and my brothers) can sew and do many other crafts, but not to the level of my Mum's skills.Jackie van Bergenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108390437411946657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-28960795805856961472013-08-15T15:30:11.628+01:002013-08-15T15:30:11.628+01:00Your Mum was really talented and a true craftswoma...Your Mum was really talented and a true craftswoman, who liked more than one craft. She reminds me of my own Mum a lot. Did you inherit her love of sewing? I don't know if you've seen my crafty blog (accessible from my main one) but there are some vintage stories on there that you might enjoy.
