It kind of cracks me up how many of these articles I see on sewing blogs now! When I was a teenager I used to do this for my brothers and sisters, my mom was divorced with very little money and six of us kids! (In the 60’s) I was a good seamstress and kept us mended and the girls and I in clothes, mostly. When I was married in the late 70’s and early 80’s I used my mother-in-law’s old slacks to make pants and overalls for my two oldest kids who were still at the toddler stage then.
