VINTAGRAPH • WPA • WWII • YOU MEAN A WOMAN CAN OPEN IT?

Arlene in 1989

My mother poses in a dress she designed and made, next to an end table that I made for her in high school shop class, with an arrangement of pussy willows on it. As usual, she is documenting her sewing. Until I started selecting photos from my family albums, I never realized just how much of our family photos were not the usual events, holidays, and vacations in most family albums, but a portfolio of clothes she designed and made.
