Sewing Room 4 - Plus OTHER THINGS

There are about 5 women in the sewing room this week on a regular basis.  These ladies are GOOD WORKERS and about the craziest bunch of women I've EVER had in there.

 We have giggled (is that contagious?), repaired over 100 School Bags that were made wrong and giggled some more.

One lady just came in to sew this morning and was very quiet at first.   Then she shared that one time when she was very young she was in charge of costumes for a company in Dallas.   The owners wife would come in when she wasn't in her department and use the fabric she had for something on a project SHE wanted to do.   One time she took all the fabric they had and made some hats she wanted without asking.

Later the lady in the sewing room was asked to make a corsett for this gal and accidentally left a pin in it.  She said that she didn't care, the gal got just what she deserved.  

Then she went on to tell us after she had worked with this company awhile she decided if she was going to make this her life's work she needed to go to New York and see a REAL broadway play.   So...she took what little money she had and bought a ticket to New York.   She had a friend she could stay with and off she went.

In the airport waiting for her plane an older gentleman sat down beside her and she noticed he had a beautiful, silk, and some other kind of suit.   She said she knew he must have his suits taylor made.   He was surprised a young woman would know that without knowing him and asked how she knew.   After she explained that she worked in a company making costumes for plays they began to talk.  

When they boarded the plane for New York she said he told her just to come up and sit in first class with him and they could talk more.

Then when they arrived in New York he got her a cab and sent her to her friends house and paid the cabbie.
We asked her why she didn't pursue this relationship and she said he was Gay and really not interested in her.

WOW!!!!  What a great way to get to New York on your first trip.
