My mom's mom sewed and made most of the clothes for the girls in the family. They would look in a magazine and pick out a dress they liked and my grandmother would make it. My mom made quilts and I sewed alot of clothes for the kids when they were little and took up quilting about 10 years ago. I have 2 daughters and 2 daughter-in-laws but none of them sew. So guess who gets to do all the mending.
