Mrs. Barnett was an awesome lady! She raised four wonderful kids. She could cook, bake, and decorate just about everything! With regard to sewing, she evidently did not need to take time to "pin the pattern to the fabric" every couple of inches, as we were taught! She would just lay the paper pattern down on the fabric, then place her hand down on the pattern, and would always cut out the numerous pieces of material, with precision!
