A stitch in time

Our Happy House seamstress, Auntie Constance, has a new sewing machine.
It replaces the old workhorse of a machine that Mama Sue's mum had bought for her in 1968! After 52 years of use, heavy daily use in its last 11 years at Happy House, is had finally given up. Evans, who made the video, says: "Auntie Constance is very happy to have the machine because it is going to make her work easier. "She is a hard working woman who makes school uniforms and all repairs for the kids living at home, soft furnishings, and any other sewing needed. "She really loves her work and hopes she will be able to do more in a day because as we know "a new broom sweeps best".
