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.)
