Thanks for posting this! Can't you just picture the prim little lady in a shirtwaist dress as she cheerfully sits down to make a ruffled apron?

We had a baby book from when my brother was born in 1949, and it was loaded with advice like this for the new mom.

How the world has changed!

If I did all that they suggest(i.e. dress, lipstick,dishes, etc), my DH would wonder where the REAL ME is!

rofl ummm i sew to escape these conditions i i had to wait til there was nothing to do to sew id still be waiting lol.
my favorite mode of dress to sew in is my pajamas although when i sew with my mil i cant do that as its a 10 mi drive to sew and lord knows i dont want to take a chance of being on the next issue of cops for speeding in my pajamas lol.

First thing to do- your dishes!

Never knew you had to start every sewing project with housecleaning!

I guess I failed.
