You know Marcie, you have something that Peppermint Patty doesn’t have and that’s a mother who can sew a skating outfit. So why don’t you go ask your mother to do one for her?
I don’t have a machine, but I’m not too bad sewing by hand. My daughter in college was sad because her favorite Taylor Swift shirt didn’t fit any more. She said that maybe she’d have it made into a pillow. Unbeknownst to her, I did it. It was tricky as it was a V-neck; I filled in the neck with a piece from an old, unloved white t-shirt. I’m giving it to her today for her birthday.
Are Singer sewing machines still made? I remember their late 1970’s jingle in Singer TV commercials that featured Debbie Reynolds and Polly Bergen as spokesladies: “One hundred million people sew easier with Singer.”
Schulz’s wife must have had the same sewing machine that I have, if he copied hers for the strip today. I was given a Kenmore (SEARS), lavender colored, heavy cast iron machine for HS graduation in 1965. I still use it. It looks just like it’s pictured here, with the machine size and shape, and the dials and such in the same place : )
My first thought was, Marcie you have a sewing machine? I haven’t seen one of those in ages, although Pattie isn’t that old. Who sews anymore? Everyone buys off the rack and throws torn clothes away.

She’s not much for thinking, either.

Patty is like a two way radio with a broken receiver; all she can do is a one sided broadcast

Can Marcie do anything?

Marcie’s not much for listening, either. She’s been told repeatedly not to call Peppermint Patty “Sir”, yet continues to do so.

PP, you’re assuming that Marcie is even allowed near sewing machines!

That’s because Charles Schulz never drew her ears.

If she were, she’d have let Chuck explain that he and his family were going to his grandma’s condo for Thanksgiving dinner.

Patty has one of the shortest attention spans ever! You can’t explain anything to her.

Just now realizing that, hey Marcie? Maybe you can make her a tree skirt for a dress. Or get your mother to do it.
