Nope I learned in 4-H at 7 years. By the time I was in Home Ec classes, I was the student aid. Made all clothes, alterations for teachers. Did a Frostline snowsuit for a teacher when I was 16.
I made all my DK their clothes, my clothes, and Western shirts for "Cowboys" from the states of Montana, SD, WY and NE. Still make western shirts for my DH. My first quilt was for the school secretary for her son when I also 16years. Now I sew clothes for my DGC, myself and DH, and still manage to quilt too.
My Home Ec Degree has a emphasis in Fabrics and Textiles. I was President, Secretary for FHA. Then became Chair, Chair Elect and Programs Coordinator for NE Association for FCS at local, state and national levels when in college. Miss those years.
