I started sewing at my mom's knee, making doll clothes from her scraps. Then in Jr. High, I took home ec. Loved the sewing part but hated the cooking (still do). Started making my own clothes at 14 and made my clothes plus 3 daughters. Never really did "fun" sewing until I started quilting classes. I don't sew clothes now, just "piddle" with quilting. Maybe I'll do more than that when I retire.
