My mom use to sew once upon a time. I have barbie clothes that she sewed for me, more from necessity than desire I think. However when I was old enough to have interest in sewing she no longer did. My grandma on my mom's side quilted, my grandma on my dad's side embroidered and sewed some I think. However they both passed away before I was again old enough to have interest. I learned some in home ec, some from a friend, and my older sister and I are interested in the domestic arts. The sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, cooking, gardening, preserving. It's just who we are, however it happened
