Guest guest Report post Posted January 30, 2007 I learned to sew just this past summer and am amazed at how much money I've saved repairing our clothes rather than replacing them.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 31, 2007 Yes, i sincerely beleive it is extremely convient for any woman (or man) to know how to do at least repair, learnign to sew to make decent clothign is a bit harder and takes a tiny bit more work and effort on your part.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 31, 2007 I think we were more pondering the perhaps rethorical because unanswerable question of what is veganism. Difficult. No individual was visualized by me per se, but rather I (and you and others) were laying general concepts on the table to which I obviously wavered, but partook enrichfully. It resembled more a dilema of what do we make of this tarot card dealt to us. your friend, -anouk , peter VV <swpgh01 wrote: > > Sorry Anouk, > I know it aint perfect ideal vegan, but I couldnt care less, sorry to shock you, and no offence meant, but at least I`m honest. > I didnt pay for it, and I dont honestly think in my mind that I am promoting the wearing of leather with this one item, so maybe I will buy another vegan one to replace it, maybe I wont....... > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
