I don't think there's anything else that I hate more than sewing!
My idiot, non-thinking parents-in-law bought 3 sewing machines, cheap deal, of course, one each for their daughter, & two daughters'-in-law.
Never bothered checking with their son, my husband, let alone me, if I'd like one.
I promptly sold it, & bought a M/W oven, which I would've much preferred, in the first place!
LOVE, just love, cooking! Have done so all my life.
My son's now a Head Chef, & wanted to learn how to cook, by my side, since he was 10!
One of my most enjoyable hobbies', once I married, was attending various Cooking Classes, especially M/W, when they became popular!
More useful by far, than sewing!
Oh! Rice Paper......didn't think there was one more idiotic than mine!
My response would've been so overwhelming, she would realise she was lucky to survive the 'verbal blast'!
I do believe that generation of women born 1914-1934, were absolute twits! No brains to think for themselves, having not been taught to do so by THEIR parents!
