Mom and both Grandma's sewed. One grandma's sister had a fabric store. Both Great Grandma's sewed too. I had a stash of my own at around 4 to 5 years old. Dad was in the Army and we moved around a lot. Mom quit sewing as much when we got older and she went back to work. I wasn't around people sewing a lot during my teenage years but it stuck with me I guess from my much younger years. If only I could find the pink fabric with the small white dots, swiss print I think it was called, that I had during my early years...
