My aunt started me sewing about 55 years ago. I used scraps to make underclothes for my poor naked dolls. Hand stitching everything took a lot of time for bras and undies. Sooooo glad she got me started......and I've loved it ever since. Even made dress pants and sports jackets for my husband, and winter coats for my young daughters. Now quilting is my passion and hope I'll be sewing right before they put me in "the box".
