37 years ago I took home ec in Jr. High school and made a horrible shirt. Had no interest in sewing until the birth of my first child when I found I could buy cheap remnants and make clothes for her. I got much better after that. Whe she was 7 I made a dress with matching bonnet and fabric basket that won a blue ribbon at the county fair. I did mostly mending after that until I joined a local quilt club. Now I am making quilts and taking a correspondence course for Dressmaking and Design and plan to start taking in mending to support my fabric addiction!

Fabulous!
