I wish I could remember what enchanted me about sewing, but I must love it to be doing it this long!
What about you - do you remember what it was about sewing that grabbed you at the beginning? Or what keeps you going now?

I have been sewing by hand and machine for about 45 years..embroidery about 40, and crochet about 35....scary....dang it...50 IS old....sigh
