[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2051556, member: 487111"] [USER=71953]@bluetit[/USER] I took Home Economics one semester in high school. Sewing. We had to make a pillow cover, a jumper (dress), and something else -- I don't even remember what the third thing was. I did the pillow cover fairly well but Mama ended up doing the piping trim, and the entire jumper so that it would be wearable. The only time I ever used any of Mama's specialty sewing needles was when our horse pulled one of the straps on his turnout blanket loose and I had to sew it back on. That was a very thick webbing strap on a very thick waterproof turnout blanket and I think I used this HUGE U-curved needle I found in the sewing machine drawer. Maybe it was an upholstery needle, I don't know. It worked well enough on the strap and the blanket but it made my hands very sore! -- I think I needed one of those leather hand-protector things I've seen maybe sailmakers or leather-workers use? But Prince had his blanket back with straps intact. Good grief -- that was 10 years ago. Sigh. The jumper looked sort of like this [IMG]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/283041640491-0-1/s-l1000.jpg[/IMG] Prince and his blanket looked sort of like this [IMG]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0835/4001/products/L-ComFiTec-Plus-Dynamic-Strandard-Medium-Navy-Lime-Plaid.jpg?v=1536172901[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
