My first memory of my mom sewing was when I was about 7 years old, watching The Wizard of Oz for the first time. I got scared by the wicked witch, so I went to my mom for comfort, and she was at her sewing machine. My mom and my sister were both very talented seamstresses, but I could never get the hang of cutting the pattern. I tried once or twice in high school, hated it, and didn't try again until this past year. I'm 42 now. I have discovered that I love piecing together a quilt, but I still have no interest in making clothes.
