No. I began sewing in 4-H when I was 9 years old. My first project was a "tea towel" with the hem sewn in by hand.
Then I made an apron with three pockets in the front. Helped my mom do mending, etc. By the time I got to Jr High and Home Ec, I picked out a tailored jacket and skirt to make.
Love to sit at my sewing machine and make stuff, just don't have enough hours in the day.
