Yes! Not only people history, but history about sewing machine develpment, methods, fads, etc. I would love it. My grandmother sewed on a treadle machine, my mother made dance costumes with a pattern she cut from newspaper after seeing a picture somewhere. I love to read this sort of thing.

Judy the type of articles you mention would be really interesting to read. Hopefully Threds will listen to some of this e-mail under various topic headings, that focus on what you are saying.
Judy,
Try these 2 sites:
http://www.vintagesewing.info/index.html
http://www.fashion-era.com
Vintage sewing has some actual instruction sheets, etc., from Butterick - many decades, early 20th century to mid-century.
FashionEra is just a delight! History, related articles, fashion trends, etc., but sometimes it doesn't load correctly, just keep trying. Their server is not very reliable.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much. Those are great websites...Judy
