I learned to sew as a young girl and was how I was able to get new clothes instead of hand-me-downs. With 5 daughters in the family and me being the only one who sewed, I did lots of prom dresses, wedding dresses (some more than one each!), and bridesmaid dresses. But before I could sew clothes for me, I had to complete all the family mending. Now I mend only for my husband and sons.
