I started sewing in 4-H when I was nine years old. I wish I had a picture of my Quick Trick Skirt. It was a tube with a casing at the top and I wore it with a white blouse and a kerchief tied around my neck. I know I sound super cool.
The skirt was made of brown calico like the one above.
My daughter and her family live in Hong Kong and I’m visiting for Thanksgiving. I arrived on Nov. 15 and will be here until Dec. 2. A number of people have asked about the protests and how that situation is affecting us.
Just above is a map to give you an idea of where Hong Kong is in relation to Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam. (I’m not ashamed to admit that I had to consult a world atlas when my kids first decided to move here.)
