Pregnancy is a time when people run everywhere looking for all the new accessories and important items required for the coming of their new child. One needs to stock up on blankets, diapers, medicine, build a new room, create space for the child to sleep, buy it’s clothes, find a good paediatrician, read the necessary literature about having a child and also buy toys and baby food.

Unless a family was particularly wealthy, clothes worn by the members of the family were stitched at home with the aid of manual sewing machines. Maternity clothes, knitted woollen wear and especially the clothes for the children were all tailored at home. Items of clothing such as sarees, dhotis and shawls which required special weaving apparatuses were bought, for a sewing machine would not help in such cases. Read the rest of this entry »
