While I was 6 years,! You know I am the youngest in the family...!? sometimes fun, some times its pain....
My eldest sister- she learnt tailoring, it was the start of our academic year..We all fancy wearing new uniform to school. I too had the same dream dutring that year..!. At home we were all so proud that my sister has learnt to stitch dress... ( I was the first victim) she ventured into stitching my school uniform. As you know, we all helped her by getting the paper cutting for pattern, getting the right coloured thread, uniform fabric... It was getting late as I had to go to school the next day after my vaccation and as a kid I kicked off to bed early . Next day with all dreams and aspirations , i was asked to wear the uniform and to my shock the short's pocket were to the reverse .. can you imagine for a kid going to school that to with habits of pocketting things for the promenade to school... and at the school, whilst I tried to show something to my friends trying to fiddle in the pocket in the wrong direction for others, as I was wearing the new uniform shorts stitched by my beloved sister.... though embrassed then.. came home crying and refusing to wear it anymore... I had no option but to wear it until it worn out..
After 35 years... for my kids I am getting them uniform ready made.. I only regrett that my kids miss those kind of experience... with fun and laughter....
