That is so good, bakermom. My mother and grandmother (on my father's side) were both great sewers but neither of them had good patience to teach. They would rather do up something for me than to teach. Five years ago I asked a woman in our church who sewed if she could teach me. She admitted that teaching wasn't her strong point, either, but she set up a day for me to sew with her friend who was a teacher and a sewer. I had one lesson with her and learned the rest from books.
