The first thing I ever sewed was a fabric sample "quilt" for my Barbie doll. I was about 5. Then when I was 10 my mom and granny let me use the treadle machine to sew my first dress. I made my own clothes for years until I was in high school. I made a quilt top. Shortly after high school I had my daughter and made many of her clothes (party dresses mostly) and some quilts...not very good quality. Now quilting this summer has gotten me back into making clothing. I guess for me they go together.
