Sorry there, Richard!
My mom's mother would be taking-up and letting down donated jeans for an old aunt who had taken on her siblings 8 kids for free and would be altering a fancy dress for the doctor's wife the same day.
Outfits for the twirlers at the high-school, curtains for the restaurant. I saw my first couch being reupholstered, first wedding dress being fitted and altered. My first view of a smile on a new bride. Country folks, black and white. Good people.
She never left the house. The best came to her.

I spent many hours watching her. Learning things. Great gal.
I especially loved making the fabric-covered buttons with the cool old press apparatus.

Your affinity for the fabric is not lost upon me. Not to mention the wisdom!
