My family’s primary source of income in Philippines way back was farming. But since it’s only seasonal, sewing clothes by my mother was really the big help for our daily needs specially during our school days. I remember, she was the one sewing nurses school uniforms and our house were filled of blue and white colored textiles. That’s the only colors I knew before when it comes to nurses uniforms. Not like nowadays, there are already different styles and colored scrub tops on any medical uniforms. More lively and casual.
Well, my mother is getting older now and we anyway have our own stable jobs now so she no longer sew for income. She just sew dresses for her grandchildren and if there are special events!
