I sewed 6 years in school and hated it. First we sewing with no thread in the needle following the strait lines on paper. That was 1962. Never thought I would sew. I made my own diapers for my kids and Barbie clothes and my own clothes while I was still thin. Five years ago I got a new Pfaff sewing machine and started paper piecing. Right back where I started sewing lines on paper.
