The dress she made for her daughter cost a whole $1 and is very cute. She used one of the fancy stitches on the machine to sew around the neck, armholes and hem so she did not have to do anything else. I thought she had a very good idea. I doubt if I would have thought about doing that plus she made a little pocket at the top for the pacifier.
I learned to sew from my mom who could look at a dress, skirt or whatever and go cut it out and it would fit perfectly. I can not do that. When my other daughter was on the dance team, she needed a costume but no one had one to sell. She brought home one of the other girl's and I used it as a pattern and made daughter one. It looked just like the other girls.
Another idea I saw in a pattern book was very cute. They had bought pillowcases and cut the seam at the end and made a seam to run ribbon through. Nothing to it. It would be perfect in this AL summer weather. I did not see if it had little panties to match but that could be done with the other case.

When that happens here in Michigan, usually in late July, I simply remind myself of what I was doing back in February...........shoveling snow and sliding on the highway.
Give me heat and lots of it.........I love it!
I always consider our summers as reverse winters aka penance for the rest of the year. While those in other states are stuck indoors and hibernate in the winter, we do this during the summer.
Know how to siphon gas from someone else’s car or pickup. Carry one of those do all tools to break door glass and threaten the owner of the vehicle when he objects...
Will we have electricity and natural gas or propane?
Does being able to take down a building with a leaf blower, a motorcycle carburetor, and a can of gas count?
Where did you invade?
Know how to cook at least a few simple dishes.
My Grandmother knew how to make superior doughnuts (not a simple dish), but her skill and willingness to sell them on streetcorners helped my family get through the Depression.
Basic gardening skills and knowledge of a few easy-to-grow vegetables. Canning, drying, or pickling skills are useful too.
ROFLMAO
I can do all of them well, except the button.
Read a Map (I love maps!)
Drive stick shift. (I have a stick shift)
Change a flat (done it a few times)
Load and fire a hand gun (shotgun have done many times, but handgun, maybe once).
Sew a button (done it before, but I’m terrible at it.
Learn the power of being silent.
Everybody should be able to take apart their computers, replace any (or all components) with suitable alternatives, reassemble components in such fashion that when the on button is pressed none of the smoke gets out of any one of the arbitrary components. Furthermore, component EEPROM should be re-programmed with suitable versions as may be available by vendor and/or manufacturer. Extra-credit for being able to hex-edit said firmware to accomplish specifc needs. Master journeyman’s card awarded for writing C code and compiling such code into device drivers as required.
Moreover, knowlege of existing version, availability of any and all updates, installation and / or updating of device drivers (either OEM or custom personally written) for pheriphersals is considered “goes without saying”.
Furthermore, the foregoing must be accomplished in such manner that functional state will never be lost regardless of degree or magnitude of changes to existing systrm. This obviously entails understanding the need for, planning and implementing disaster recovery objectives, policies and methodologies for all realistic scenarious, including obviously failed EEPROM flash, HDD failure.
A systematic checklist should be established for diagnostic purposes in order to appear competent and have a rationally intelligent conversation with tech support using the phrase: “yep done that” often and frequently.

Time for us all, Vets or not, to brush up on:

We are in the most ‘unconventional’ war, being waged against us by our government right on our own front lawns!
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” Robert Heinlein
BUMP! I love that quote. :)
and you learned to dance all over the place, right?
