James,
my Grandfather told me that it was common practice to sew kids into their long johns for the winter.  Don't think that he was ever sewn in his, but he knew several kids that were.

Now I could see maybe havin' a dog on yer lap to keep yer hands warm, but sewing kids into yer underwear seems barbaric.  :o  I'm pretty sure there's a law against it here in Nebraska.  I'd assume even in Kentucky they'd have to be your own kids or at least close relation.

Humm, sewing kids into their undies does seem a little cruel. Could this be an advantage in that one then can wash both kid and undies at same time? That is, if either were washed.

This would have been in the 1800's.  As I recall, he said that some people did not bath very frequently, and they sewed their children into the long johns, along with a asafatidia bag around their neck to keep them healthy.  He said they would not let them sit close to the stove at school, they had to sit in the back row in the corner.  I used to think he was kidding me, but I have heard the same from several old timers that are now long gone.  I suppose in the days before indoor plumbing, with no central heat, frequent baths were a rarity in the winter. It was probably much the same all over the country I would suspect.   ?????      ??????

Lone Gunman, I haven't changed mine since last Fall so as to be easy to "discern" at the convention.  :o ;D

Well,

Hopefully I will get the finishing touches for my new Major Lewis suit.  But I am getting excited about coming up too!  Look forward to seeing everybody.

Well it's dpwn tp the wire, and I am in high gear as to finishing items for myself and Kelley.
GUESS what color Kelley's new banquet outfit is. First one right gets a free meal at The Widow next summer.
  This past 2 weeks, I have done around 150 buttonholes and gone through 10 spools of white thread. I lost count of yards of fabric & Lace long ago.

Just finished a new mint green and black velvet - 3 spools of thread and about 16 yards of material - lots of ruffles....8 button holes and that was enough!  New bustle petticoat is also done. Work keeps getting in the way so that will probably be it for me.  :(

150 buttonholes....eeeeegaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddssssss Kayleen!!!   All that white thread...would her dress be white?

If I recall correctly, she likes Peach as it is a color that highlights her contagious smile and it looks really great on her, that is my guess, Mark thinks Purple with cream highlights. Ah, heck, who cares, you'll both look super!
Best regards and good stitching!
