My grandmother, she had an old tredle Singer sewing machine. She would let me sew on it and make my doll clothes. I guess by that, that I was around 7 or 8. I lived most of my life with my grandmother. She taught me how to Crochet, sew, and cook. There were so many kids in our family, and dad was a farmer, so grandma took me in. I was the special one. I was so lucky.
