I used to hate to sew when I was a teen in high school home ec was not my favourite and the teacher used to say your a girl use your own instincts in sewing so I took it home and my had my mother sew it for me she is a seamstress I was in my mid twenties when I taught myself how to quilt but as a teen I did crochet,knitting ,tapestry,crosstitch and embroidery I love hand stitching
