Ok, THIS is funny...

from a Singer Sewing Machine Manual, 1948:
Prepare yourself mentally for sewing. Think about what you are going to do... never approach sewing with a sigh or lackadaisically. Good results are difficult when indifference predominates.
Never try to sew with a sink full of dirty dishes or beds unmade. When there are urgent housekeeping chores, do these first so your mind is free to enjoy your sewing...
When you sew, make yourself as attractive as possible. Put on a clean dress. Keep a little bag full of French chalk near your sewing machine to dust your fingers at intervals. Have your hair in order, powder and lipstick put on... (If) you are constantly fearful that a visitor will drop in or your husband will come home and you will not look neatly put together, you will not enjoy your sewing as you should...
Um, yeah to that last one
Re: Ok, THIS is funny...
Thanks for the great laugh.
If I waited until my house was clean, I had on clean dress, and lipstick, I would never get to sew. I think the only dresses that I own are much too dressy for sewing. Clean pj's is more my speed.
Well, I hope you are, at least, wearing your pearls!

I didn't start sewing until noon today, but I'd been awake since 4:45. Before I sat at my machine I'd put on makeup, made the bed, cleaned my kitchen, cleaned the dining room, vacuumed...
I was wearing athletic shorts and a tank top, though. I was, however, wearing a bra. Does that count for anything?
I love it - this is exactly how I do al my sewing - yeah, right.
I am totally reposting this!

Who knew that all this time of making sure my finger waves looked right and my red lipstick was perfect while sewing is in the rules!
If they made a sewing with a hot water foot bath in front of it for while I'm sewing (like they do for my oven!) I'd be heaven.

LMFAO!!!
DH and I always joke that it's a good thing I want a career, because I would be the WORSE housewife EVER!!! My kitchen is still a disaster from our cookout Monday!
This is great!
This one is my favorite: "have your hair in order, powder and lipstick put on..." Especially since I only put make-up on when I have to!
