In the modern world someone having a room dedicated to sewing is unheard of. My Grandmother had a "spare bedroom" that was technically that because there was a bed but she made clothes for us. It wasn't unusual for her to spend 6-8 hours a day in there just making shit. "Hey Nana, my pants ripped" WHAM. 10 minutes they're good as new and the part she repaired will outlast the rest of the pants

I've heard of the stories from my mom when grandma lived through the depression. They got a ration box every week with supplies, she would trade the carton of cigs with the neighbors for the baking supplies. Would share some of the cookies with them. Her husband had work in construction and make a dollar a day, that was considered good money for the time. Lucked out and avoided getting drafted in world zog war 2 he was about 40 at that time. Real passion was farming and had a lot of veggies growing, chickens, rabbits.. people cant take care of themselves anymore
