Could this be the original Quilt Police? Lol. I'm sure they'd be shocked to see us sewing in our PJ's or whatever. Thank you for sharing your photo.

They might also be shocked by rotary cutters.

Because of the way that photos were taken back then..Everyone had to hold still for a long(ish) time. It was a little hard to hold a smile for that long. Also, in pics where someone was seated, they had their head in a 'brace' from behind to hold them still and after a while it hurt.

Thanks for sharing. Agreed, it's amazing how we dress in public today compared to only a few years ago. Who would have thought people would wear pajamas (or worse) in Walmart?!?
