Mum's Sewing Machine

I'm a quite fasionable person.During my younger days I love to wear the latest fashion in town.
Dresses,mini skirts,midis,ect.with matching accesories.What more,I made my own dress.No such thing as buying readymade clothes from the stores,what more from boutiques.My father's
monthly income could not afford such luxuries.I started sewing my own clothes when I was 12
years old.Before that I used to watch my Mum at the sewing machine making clothes either
for herself and her 4 daughters or for friends and relatives.I was rather fascinated by her skills.
Not only making clothes but she made beautiful embroideries too.She knew I was very much
interested in sewing.I could still remember when I was 7 she let me used her machine to
make a dress for my little doll.I was so excited the first time I dressed up my doll that I made
myself.Since then I made pretty dresses for my doll using my Mum's sewing machine.My Mum
treasured her sewing machine.She bought the machine before I was born.The machine is still
with the family at my Mum's house for more than 60 years now and we still used it ocassionally.Everytime I look at the machine I remember those fond memories.Mum's sewing
machine will forever be in my heart.
