Then a woman came to help Kari cut out and sew, and they made pillows and a fine white garment that mother was to have on when she lay upon the pillows.
Three years ago she made them all a complete outfit, but the "rheumatiz" has been getting all the spare money since then, so there has been nothing to sew. A peddler sold them a piece of gingham which they made up for Cora Belle. It was broad pink and white stripes, and they wanted some style to "Cory's" clothes, so they cut a gored skirt.
Once however Teresa lost all patience with her, exclaiming, as she saw the strange ragged ends she had left in her sewing, "Drop that work, and go where you please; but remember this, never will you be called a 'Dorcas. Never will you be able to sew and provide garments for the poor.
For as a legacy from dying slavery the servants were still unable or unwilling to provide for their own wants, and the house-mistress had frequently to knit Jack's stockings with her own fair fingers, as well as to "cut out the stuff for Jim's pantaloons," which she will "try to teach Silvy to sew." Did we think that we had reached the last purpose for which the homespun woolen yarn was required?

The Wheezy got money, Mademoiselle used to give it to her from Maman's purse, two dollars every day for sewing why, Babiche, I can sew beautifully much better than the Wheezy!" It was a delightful moment, a self-reliant, decisive moment.
