I did. In 1949. I learned to sew and from there made all my husbands,son , and 3 girls clothes. Mine too. Dont do clothes anymore tho. I quilt,both hand and machine pieced,both hand and machine quilted. I love making landscapes and needle turn applique. Am on the last block of a quilt called Fiesta. Black with bright primary colors. Will post pics when I get it set together. I am so fortunate that I learned to sew.
