My great-grandmother was called "old mo-mo". She was a gifted seamstress. Women would find a dress in the local department store window and would hire her to make it for them.
My mother (as a small child) recalls from her youth that her grandmother would pay children pennies to reach under the treadle sewing machine to pump it by hand.
She would make patterns out of butcher paper and would lay them out over the fabric using forks and knives to hold them down and cut out the fabric.
