I started sewing at 13 and quickly became the "teacher's pet" in Home Ec. class. I'm fifty now and have sewn pretty much since. I do not consider myself at expert at anything but have had many successes in sewing clothes, quilts, crafts etc.

With those triumphs also came many, many curse words, abandoning projects and lots of trial and errors. Now I'm the clearance section Queen.

I love shopping the bi-annual clearance sales and making clothes for myself for sometimes less than $5.00. My collegues are sometimes impressed and my grandchildren think I'm amazing.

Sewing is no longer offered in the cirriculum at school so I coach my teenage nieces once a week and they are now learning the love of fabric and what can be created.

Sewing has been a real healer for me when life brings it's challenges.
