As a sewist, I really appreciated this story!

Good for her, just what a good wife does for her family ❤

Thank you for an interesting story. A new slant  on an old theme. Strong women  really make the world a better place

$312 in quarters - wouldn't want to carry that

I'm 73...volunteered at a retirement home doing free mend ing once a month.  Did it 9 years.  I was blessed by all the happy smiles.  Still do mending for my neighbors.

Good story and a compact ending. Keep doing this 😊

I got a hole on my waist or pocket and lost some things falling through it. I am 72 and have arthritis but decided to try a sew it closed, only about 4-5 inches. I eventually managed to get the thread in the needle, and started on the seam, a patch pocket. Navy blue on navy blue! Took ages. To my surprise when I got to see it in daylight, the seam was straight and strong! I was really Impressed. Learned sewing at school.

I enjoyed this story.  I grew up sewing & my mom taught me how to wax my thread to strengthen it & help it last longer.  Excellent story!

I’ve been listening to pioneer survival stories for a few months, while I sew. This story was THE BEST of them all. It was realistic and plausible and NOT full of the inconsistencies and
discrepancies that 75% of the other stories were full of. Thank you for an enjoyable story.

Good story with a strong woman at those not easy times!

From Michigan. I sewed my own clothes in school and made my children's clothes when i had them. Very enjoyable. Couldn't continue because of my divorce and had to get a regular job to raise 3 children. ❤

I loved the historical detail, the unexpected business partnership and triumph against tyranny. However, I wanted to know when or if the marriage became a one of the heart instead of being merely contractual.

I was taught how to sew when I was eight. Now I'm 75 and have taught my daughter and granddaughter to sew, knit, and tat lace. And more. Much more 😊.

Excellent story - told without embellishment or theatrics.  But I also would've liked a final outcome on their relationship.

78, still sewing, by hand and machine. Crochet, knit, embroidery, quilting. Plus a good many other things. I was blessed with 2 grandmothers and a wonderful mom in law who taught me what I didn't know.

Great story, I can’t sew a button on, I am a great landscaper, can handle domestic animal, but a huge disappointment to my mom who could sew, tat, crochet , and knit.    Oh well…we all have our strengths

You have another story about a new wife who sold HOT MEALS to the RR workers …. the exact same plot changing meals for canvas repairs 🤷🏼‍♀️

Interesting story. Hard work and great workmanship pays.❤

I loved this story

Good story ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
