I was just talking about this with my husband the other day. I honestly can't remember when I learned to sew or from whom.... I don't remember my mother ever making clothes for us, but she must have known how to sew as I think she did help me a little. I was very young and used her sewing machine, but probably learned to sew more "properly" from Home Economics courses in high school. Of course, I thought I knew it all then!!
But the reason I was talking about it with my husband is that someone asked me to teach them how to sew and I can't think where to begin!!
