Interesting facts about the Amish (Next Fact)

A prevailing mindset of the Amish is to live simply and practically. This is fleshed out in so many different ways.

Amish use only gloss paint for their walls because it is easy to wash down.
Amish women and little girls wear aprons to keep their dresses cleaner so they don't have as many clothes to wash.
The Amish men wear suspenders to help hold their pants up so that the women don't have to sew zippers. They sew only with hook and eye closures.
A wooden bench is used at the kitchen table along the one side so that more children can sit on it and less chairs are needed.
Amish women decorate with green plants rather than cut flowers. They believe flowers are meant to be planted outside and enjoyed outside. They last longer and cost less.
Beautiful calendars of farm scenes are also used for decoration in their homes. Again, low cost, plus they update monthly.
Only a couple sewing patterns are used to make clothing so that it goes faster when a new article is needed.
