Sewing and Clothing Repair

As a rule we take things for granted. We wear clothes everyday (a good thing for some of us), when we need new ones we go and buy them. But if you were in a situation where there where no stores, what would you do? I always claim little fairies come while the family sleeps and takes care of us. Well, that is not the case, so we have to think of the things we will need in an emergency. Life is full of uncertainties, so let’s get with the program.
Have you thought of sewing items and material to make or repair clothes? I have been sewing since high school. Not well, but the clothes stay sewn and don’t look to bad. I am making a list of some things you would need. With no electricity what would you use? I have two peddle sewing machines that will be handy to use, but make sure you have extra belts for the machine to operate and needles that fit, plus 3 in one oil (Or any machine oil).
