Sewing is one of those skills everyone should know. Master these stitches and start practicing on different fabrics. Make sure your thread tension is just right!

Sewing machines are a must-have. Like my Brother sewing machine straight out of 1950, they last a lifetime. Anyway, once you master this machine you can start making anything from clothing, to kit and packs.

During the first world war in Australia there was a restriction of styles of clothing available to both men and women because of shortages in fabrics. Everyday dress became more sombre due to a lack of good quality dyes – and in any case, bright colours were seen to be too gay and frivolous.
The manufacture of ready-made clothing might have decreased during wartime, but there was an explosion in hand knitting for soldiers.
Thousands of women and schoolchildren knitted throughout the war. Over 1.3 million pairs of socks were sent overseas – often with a small personal note inside the sock informing the digger who had knitted the garment along with a brief message.
Knitting provided comfort not only to the men who received the garments but also for the women who knitted. It was a meditative way to pass the time and feel they were contributing to the war effort.

“He that looks at a woman lustfully, has already committed adultery in his heart.”
-Mathew 5:28
The powers of resistance desert the gambler in the gaming house, the drunkard in the bar, and the lustful at the sight of immodesty. How wickedly wise the devil is. When he tempted Christ he did not show on a map all the kingdoms of the world that he promised Him, but took Him up into a high mountain and showed them to Him, hoping that an actual view of the kingdoms and their glory would cause the Savior to fall down and worship him. How rash, then presumptuous it is for you who have fled from sin to knowingly tread again in the dark and crooked alleyways of vice, where every doorway hides, the occasional temptation of the devil will restore you to sin.
It is unhappily true that in an instant one can pass from virtue to vice, but we do not pass from vice to virtue instantly. When God forbids a thing, he also forbids its near occasions.
