First generation, yes and no. When I was growing up, we didn't have a sewing machine, though my mom did make a few Barbie outfits for me by hand. She didn't teach me to sew, and I never thought to ask, though I wanted to learn.
But here's the thing: she did know how to sew. When she was a teen, she wanted to be a fashion designer and made many of her own clothes, and they were very nice!
I assume she learned from her mother, though by the time I was born, my grandmother was in a home for the aged. If she ever sewed, she'd stopped by then.
I don't actually sew - yet. It's one of my top goals this summer to finally get a good machine and lessons. More quilting lessons, too.
