My point was that most people who sew don't do it because they _have_
to. Even some who are unusual sizes. (I'm 4'9" tall, and I don't have to
sew modern clothes, except for hemming a lot of them, if I don't want
to.) People sew because they enjoy it. Yes, we've certainly passed the
days when almost every woman who wasn't working in a factory 16 hours a
day did home sewing. But then, some of them found it a pretty dreary
duty. It's much nicer for people to be sewing for fun, enjoying their
fancy sewing machines, their emboidery machines, their 4-color sewing
magazines, and their huge fabric stashes.
