decided which one to work on, she says, “It takes
discipline.” She explains that she must make herself stop
at a certain point on each garment and move on to the
next, so that each one is at the proper stage to demon
strate the principles she is teaching.
She also has prepared samples of different techniques,
and these she has neatly packed in suitcases for easy
transporting. A suitcase is assigned to each sewing class,
and there she keeps all the things she needs for that
course. Five suitcases are in evidence, plus a large “flat”
in which she carries her tailoring project. Anyone who has

In a tailoring course she teaches, Virginia is sewing
a coat right along with her students.
taken her classes knows that she also carries along
assorted other “goodies” in shopping bags. She laughs
and says she couldn’t make it to her classes without the
help of her husband who helps carry the suitcases, bags
and sewing machine.
Virginia is meticulous in keeping her threads and
bobbins together and marked. She has boxes filled with
patterns, and a separate one for Carol, her lucky
daughter-in-law who benefits from her sewing expertise,
as does her son, Tom. On her bulletin board she has pinned
notes of appreciation from students, and newspaper
clippings of styles from the New York Times which she
will translate into lovely clothes for her daughter-in-law.
Virginia says that sewing now, instead of getting easier,
is “a little more difficult. There are five different kinds of
threads and regular, ballpoint and all purpose needles.
There are also more stitches available.” It is evident that
she finds fascinating the wide range of fabrics, but adds
that this variety contributes to the difficulty. As an
example, she explains that since knits will dull a needle
rapidly, the needle should be changed after each garment.
“Every new pattern and every new fabric brings a new
challenge,” she says with relish.
Virginia says there is a bigger response to sewing
classes these days “because of the state of the economy.
Basically women sew to save money - it is a saving hobby.
Many women are also now sewing for sons and husband
s.”
One of the reasons she teaches sewing is for “self
satisfaction,” Virginia says, and adds, “I have had the
most pleasant reactions from the groups.”
Virginia Kloss makes it clear as she talks that sharing
her vast knowledge of the world of sewing is a sheer
delight. It’s a love which she would like other women to
discover - for the savings, for the relaxation and for the
fun of it.

Potato Facts
Once upon a time eating
potatoes was considered a
social error. In 1754, as
quoted in the Journal of
Agriculture, potatoes were
“despised by the rich and
deemed only proper food for
the meaner sorts of per
sons.” It’s come a long way
from the 1700’s.

Today’s potatoes are bred
with an the care given to
developing the finest race
horses. Pure breeding has
resulted in smoother-skinned
potatoes of better flavor,
texture, and productivity.
Potatoes are now in
especially heavy supply,
