A man using a sewing machine?


A man using a sewing machine?! Yes in Tunisia and other nations, Singer Corporation found that men used their sewing machines often. What they wore was viewed as exotic, but it influenced American designs.

  1. Leonard Smith I wonder what Dennis and friends learned, if anything, from the experience. Do any of them have the skills to use one today? Probably not. I find sewing machines very intimidating, as nobody bothered to teach me how to use one. (I remind myself of Charlie Brown with his kite when attempting to use one! It isn't long before I get myself all wove up.)

  2. Leonard Smith When I was a Boy Scout (60 years ago) I learned many skills, but sewing was not one of them. I was interested to read this contemporary discussion of the possibility of a sewing Merit Badge. Americans have tied this skill to gender stereotypes far too long!

Hat at the ready at her feet, somebody wanted to be sure to show off this outfit and the very full hairdo. This card is a mystery. There were no markings on it to indicate its sponsor or maker. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards #19thCenturyTradeCards
