My mom taught me to embroider, her mother tatted, her sister knitted.
Mom's grandmother, aunt and cousin quilted. another aunt that crocheted. Her great uncle was a tailor.
My dad's aunt was a seamstress. She did beautiful beading on cloths. I don't know about the rest of his family.
Her cousin was the one who taught me to sew.
I can also knit, crochet (husband's grandmother taught me), weave. I still make cloths for myself and daughters.
My husband's step mom was in charge of a clothing factory. She started on the sewing floor.
