Sewing or needlework
Not IV drug needles; not "the needle and the damage done" needles. Sewing. Embroidery. Thread in and out. Topic, not exact words.

Mama sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
Dolly Parton
My mother was a taylor;
Sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans.

Seamstress for the band
Tiny Dancer
Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Without a seam or needlework
Traditional
Paul Simon lifted a version
So - a needle pulling thread
La - a note to follow So
Ti - a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi
from The Sound of Music
Stitch, stitch, stitch
Ply the needle, pull the thread
Stitch, stitch, stitch
Sew I must to earn our daily bread
(I remember this from an LP record I had as a child, called "The Brownies")
Silver threads and golden needles
cannot mend this heart of mine
and I dare not drown my sorrow
in the warm glow of your wine...
---Linda Ronstadt
I'll cut it with the scissors
And I can do the sewing
Leave the sewing to the women
You go get some trimming
And we'll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly
from the Disney "Cinderella"
This is the way we mend our clothes...
Early in the morning
(And we'd act out hand-sewing with big long pulls of thread, when I was little.)
Here we go round the Mulberry Bush
use the needle of your compass
to sew up your broken heart
Rodney Atkins
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes;
POP! goes the weasel.
--Children's song
And who does Mama teach
to mend and tend and fix
Preparing me to marry
Whoever Papa picks
"Tradition" from "Fiddler on the Roof"
