My Mom and Grandmother taught me and my 2 sisters. My Mother sewed on her hands until she got a treadle machine. I learned how to sew on that machine. Mom made lot of our clothes by hand. Her talent with the needle was inherited by all 3 of Her daughters. I made my daughters play clothes out of feed sacks. Wish I had them now. That was in the 60's. I made myself work cullots or split skirts. To be able to get and sit on the floor with First Graders ETC. Boat Neck Shirts are the first thing I have ever made to wear when I was a teen. You know Get 2 pieces of material make sure they are squared,exactly the same front and back. Hem all four sides,sew up sides leaving enough room for your arms same on the neck. You have to have enough room to put your head in. The opening looks like a boat. :lol: Made a lot of those in my time.
I didn't quilt until 2003. Have always loved it had a great interest in it but didn't do anything until then. LOVE IT.
