Important Rules from Singer – circa 1949

The following rules for sewing were recently found on the Internet, and posted in the New Pieces bathroom, by Sharona Fishrup:

I apologize for the poor quality of the photo,  taken with a “smart” phone. While it’s true that an organized workspace helps one be creative and work more efficiently — few of us could ever sew if all these requirement were prerequisite.  And no, New Pieces does not carry bags of French chalk for your fingertips.

Imagine how life has changed over the last 62 years — and what future quilters will say about us in another 62 years!

    I love these rules everytime I read them…Happy sewing folks!
    and men, what about MEN…they sew LOTS AND LOTS…
    no notes about dirty dishes and powder and lipstick for them!

    If I never sew with some dishes in the sink or an unmade bed, I might never sew. Not to mention having to find a clean dress to wear while doing so. We’ve come a wonderfully long way, baby!

    I don’t even own powder and lipstick…and for that matter, a husband either. Am I still allowed to sew?

    I pretty much do the opposite–I let the dishes and laundry pile up and forget to take a shower and definitely do not put on lipstick or powder.
