Memories we hold dear, yes our families were not financially well off, but made life exceptionally special in every which way they could.
Most unusual both your uncle and brother sewed, I take it your brother was taught by your uncle. My poor mom tried every trick in the book to teach me, sadly I never did. All my outfits were homemade, including wedding dress, brides maid and flower girl dresses (material bought at Fietas, we lived on the Westrand).
A lovely walk down memory lane through working career, friends made, current friends still held dear.
Keeping active and busy most definitely helps going through the years, no time to waste it is short enough already!

I think when things come too easy, one doesn't appreciate it as much! Very precious memories indeed.
No they were both my uncles who sewed, the younger one was like a brother to me.
Oh yes, I believe keeping busy is the secret!
Thanks for the visit Joan😉
Unusual to have two uncles who enjoyed craft of sewing, can only imagine when it came to readying a wedding both would wish to dress the bride.
Never enough hours in a day this side, hope Mom is keeping well with cold weather arriving.
Take care!
