I remember my mom sewing when I was young. Do not remember at what age, but she did do some at home. That is on top of the job she had to sew clothes. My Aunt (her sister) also sewed clothes all the time and worked for the same company but at different locations. I would say that I got into sewing because of my mom. Stopped sewing in my late teens, but picked it back up in my early 30's and have not stopped since. Do not like making clothes, but love making Quilts and crafty items
