My mom taught me and my sister. She made all our clothes growing up. She also was a 4-H advisor and taught many girls. Bless her heart, if she had a girl in our club tha didn't have money for material, off to House of Fabrics she'd go and beg for large remnants or outright donations. Because she bought so much for us, they gladly did it for her and threw in zippers buttons, thread, etc.
I also took Home Ec in school, but every project I did for that was a disaster. Mom was the best teacher. If I wanted something new for school, she'd say "You know where the material and patterns are - make it yourself." She'd help, but we did the major construction.
She started quilting about 3 years before she passed and loved it. When she got quilts made for all her kids and grandkids, she started on each of her nieces and nephews on both sides. She got about 1/2 way done before she passed. Bless her heart, she was one of a kind and I miss her.
