I learned in Home Ec. First project was an apron--BORING! I loved sewing and made a lot of my own clothes. I had to make my girls little dresses--no money and 3 girls. My DGM and DA were very good seamstresses. My Mom, not so much. She did a lot of ripping--tried, but had a hard time. By the time I was 13-14, I was helping my Mom. Lots of good memories.
