Interests and Passions

Mrs. Khan, like most Asian women, used to make clothes. She had a sewing machine, which she would use to make clothes for herself and her family, because at the time Asian clothes were not widely available in the shops. She was very skilled in needlework, crochet and knitting, which she learned before she got married. There were none of the light fabrics she was used to in Pakistan, so often she would use material that were usually used to make curtains. This meant that the clothes were very heavy and thick, which turned out to be a good thing during the cold British winters.
