SEW VINTAGE - My grandmother, Anna Helena “Ann” (L), and her younger sister, Teresa Francesca “Frances” (R), modeling their homemade dresses in the early 1900’s. They made all their clothing on an old, foot-powered treadle sewing machine. Many of their dresses were made from cotton, flour sack material.

your grandmother and her sister left you a rich heritage with their sewing and ability to make their own clothing, this is a wonderful LO!
