With a Home Ec teacher as a mom, I learned to sew at age 6. My first sewing project was a pair of pajamas I made in Kindergarten. Made clothes and crafts until about 20 years ago and now only quilt. Too expensive to make your own clothing these days, and much more fun and adventureous to quilt! Glad I learned the basics at a young age so now can move forward. My mom laughs now when I tell her that the only time the iron gets used in my house is when I'm quilting. Actually, I'm quite sure she cringes...!
