Pins that held nappies and trouser zips,
Bobbins and thimbles for that special stitch,
Buttons and silk from yesteryear,
Everything ref her life right here.
The little things that pleased her so
Matched and patched, you’d never know
Such was her craft to make a repair
Sewn with love and intricate care.

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! We have an elderly dog called Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
Pins that held nappies and trouser zips,

Sounds like a little rhyme to sing while sewing away 🙂
Hubby is the needlesmith in our house. I hate sewing.
A beautiful poem there. 🙂 ❤
Thanks Bear
I always really like poetry entries for Friday Fictioneers, and I like this one. I hope she taught her children to sew. All my mum taught me was to just go over it again and again and hope for the best.
Thank you. I;m glad you liked this one.
This was lovely and did have a nursery rhyme beat to it!
Thanks Dale!
Something that’s sadly less common in our throw-away society. Right, I’m off to Primark!
We do most of our clothes shopping there!
Lovely poem!
Thanks!
A lovely tribute to all who are talented with needles, thread, and fabrics 🙂
My great gran was a seamstress and her embroidery was beautiful.
I’m afraid such fancy hand sewing is becoming a thing of the past. I have some lovely things that were made by my husband’s grandmother, as well as my own grand-and great-grandmother. Priceless.
It is a dying art, but one which might make a comeback perhaps.
I hope so. I love doing all sorts of textile crafts.
I use papers for my cards, but I’ve seen some fabric packs, so could experiment…………..
Poem! Nice, and it rhymes too, wish I could do poetry>
Thank you kindly!
Yes, there is something therapeutical above the craft of sewing. Nice poetry.
Thanks James
I like this, it reminds me of “lions and tigers and bears oh my” with its rhythm.
