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!

Nature studied here!

Nature studied here! He is carefully explaining. As a proper young Victorian woman, she is being diplomatic, allowing him to show her the world while she sees things from a different angle. Her generation will be the first where women have the right to vote in America. #VictorianFashions #19thCenturyTradeCards
