Jeannine, 87 years old, a life of sewing
"At the time, we were just coming out of the war, there were four of us girls, and my parents couldn't afford to buy us clothes. We made do; as soon as I had a scrap of fabric, I had to do something." Jeannine started sewing at 16. She's 87 today, and she'll continue to sew until the end of her life.
