My first sewing was an embrodier I did sitting in a rocking chair as a grandmother is a school play. I was 6 yrs old. I don't think I ever stopped sewing. My mother made all my clothes out of feed sacks and my underwear out of flour sacks. The sacks were so tightly woven that they would hold water. Once when trying to cross some high water on the way to school, my feet would not touch the ground because of my panties. Of course the had tight elastic in the legs and waist.
