She has helpers, the old fashioned ones, her kids.

My Mother used to sew all sorts of things, including these little stuffed bunnies and I remember as a little kid I would sit on the floor with tons of little bunny arms and legs and packing the stuffing in with the eraser side of a pencil for what seemed like forever. She cut all of those by hand. I wish I had pictures! Those were fun times. Lol

My main memory is all the ironing. Ironing fabric before cutting and pressing endless amounts of seams “open” before they were sewn together. Then I’d be pressing more seams again

NO
I was hoping you'd say you had a cricut or some other kind of helper

Not yet but since things are picking up so dramatically, that's going to be something I'm going to have to look in to lol. My wrist is starting to complain when I cut!

HAHA! My "old fashioned helpers" are getting older... the youngest has to be bribed to help and the oldest, he'll flip them right side in for me but that's about it. Here's a rare picture of my youngest, helping... for pay of course lol

I know how she felt! Cutting a lot by hand can be so tough! It is a good time though when the kids actually do want to be a part of it and help... when that happens lol.

Ironing is such a pain! Though, I have to admit, I just got a new iron that I'm dying to try lol. I need to get these to the point where they're ready to ironed again though before I get to play with it. That's my motivation at the moment lol
