I have no idea how old I was, but very young. Assisted my mom with making Barbie clothes. Then sewed with her and when I was in 7th grade took Home Ec. (boy, that's dating me now). :lol: :lol: Not called that anymore. Sewed clothes for years, then home decor for first apartment and so on. Been sewing for 40-45 yrs. OH MY!!! I can't believe it!! :shock:
