Started sewing when I was about 10. Sewed for myself, sisters and friends; did draperies and sofa slip covers; my wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses. Then it was clothes for my eight kids, boys and girls clothes. On to square dance dresses, curtains and costumes. Then I got into quilting, and don't need much new clothes anymore.
Now if I'm not quilting, I'm patching and mending. Love doing that. Today I replaced a zipper in my granddaughters jacket. I've never seen a zipper installed like that one was. Luckily I didn't rip the old one all the way out before I started on the new one. I never would have figured it out. But we got 'er done!
