MY Mother had a singer treadle machine she used to make us 3 girls school clothes. But she also sewed by hand She made us girls hand sewn skirts and tops. She taught us to sew on the treadle and to imbroidary. Especially when the Weather was bad, kept us occupided and not bickering. The three of us,I am the middle child, Knows how to use a sewing machine and to make clothes. My oldest sister learned how to make Quillows. Talked me into doing one, made 22 altogether. It was a small step to whats next. Piecing and quilting. I haven't look back since. That was 2003.
