I learned to sew as a child sitting under my mother's sewing machine area working with the scraps of fabric from whatever clothing project she was making for one of us 4 kids. As I got older I learned to sew clothing and learned from a very favorite teacher the difference between "home made clothing and Handmade clothing"My quilting skills match up with my sewing skills but alas I have no photos of any thing except one outfit my daughter wore to school one day and the pictures were being taken that day. The photographer did a double exposure shot of her . She is wearing a dark blue dress with a white Peter Pan collar and over the dress is a pinafore that has a smocked bodice done in a dark blue thread. The dress and pinafore were machine stitched and the bodice of the pinafore was hand smocked. My daughter now has conceded that my sewing skills are of the Hand Made distinction and offers them to her friends when they need something sewed.
