This reminds me of when I was a little girl working on the old sewing machine you used to work with your feet, think it was called a *tredle*. I know someone out there knows what I am talking about. Anyway, I really like the card.....tfs

whitepuppymammaw, I know exactly what you're talking about. It is called a tredle sewing machine. I have my grandmother's here in my living room.
Great sewing cards here. Love all the little details. It does remind me of Home Ec though when we had to make an apron or a skirt..........I hated putting in zippers.....as part of your grade, you had to wear your skirt to school..thanks for the memories.
