I love this card! Yes, it is nostaglic, and reminds me of growing up with my mom too. She used to work at Bobbie Brooks garment factory and taught us all to sew. You did a great job watercoloring and I love the crosshatch background with this card.

Thanks for the inspiration. I always am at a loss as to which set to use for Mom' s birthday. This is perfect. She also taught me to sew, I bought this set because it was nostalgic! TFS. Your card is fabulous, especailly the twill.

This is such a great card!! My mom sewed slipcovers for Sears and made all of our clothes, too - even our prom dresses! I'm going to make a card like this for her. TFS

OH, I am in LOVE with these pattern ladies!! You did a bang up job w/ the coloring, layout, and I totally adore that twill, I just can't make a card w/ this set withOUT that twill!! My mom sewed everything for me too, even my underware!! When I was away at college, I actually didn't even know what size to buy!!!! HAHAHAH!!! Thanks for the memories!!
