I know plenty of people that can't sew on a button as well. But I see people thinking of sewing and quilting as an art instead of thinking only poor people want to sew and quilt. That's an improvement as far as I can tell.
I agree with nanna...when I first started to sew, maybe 20 years ago, sewing wasn't a big thing that I can remember.
With how much interest there is now, I can't help but think it will continue to grow.
