Sunday Pics!


"This photo shows a woman sewing on one of those first Singer sewing machines in about 1860. The sewing machine is sitting on a crate that's labeled 'Singer's patent sewing machine.'"

I love it.  What a blessing sewing machines were to those who did so much sewing for their families. In addition, the sewing machine trade expanded amazingly during the Civil War.  Uniforms made by machine were incredibly helpful to the army.
