Never underestimate the power of a woman and her sewing machine!
I wonder how many women, through the ages provided for their families by sewing for others?
Growing up, my mom’s sewist was Aunt Magda. She made all her clothes and sometimes something for me too. It was more of a friendship than anything else, an escape to call in at Magda’s.

If you are supporting your family with your sewing machine, I commend you!

Hi Jenn, thanks for sharing! I agree with you, we have a lot to be thankful for!
I Amanda Nel 🙂 I really love this. Pinned it and tweeted 🙂 It’s easy to come up with excuses but it’s a discipline to choose grace.
Hi Nikki, I totally agree. When I first read this, I thought wow!! It speaks straight to the heart! Thanks for sharing it too.
I absolutely love this. I’ve pinned it to come back to again and again.
Grace is something I’ve seen a lot of lately, and I’m grateful for that. It’s also made me more aware when I am NOT granting grace. I need to be more open minded, we all make mistakes, we are human and we don’t know everything. That doesn’t stop us from making decisions, sadly at times. But we aren’t infallible and I need to grant grace. Thanks for the reminder!
