Well, I did make an apron in Home Ec class (it has a really cool cross-stitched patch on the chest which I am very proud of
) but I knew how to sew before that. My mom taught me, and at such an early age that I honestly don't remember what my official first project was.

The apron is now in a shadow box frame that my MIL made for me, along with my athletic letters, girl scout patches, and all the other awards I won as a child.
That apron now makes me chuckle. I'm pretty sure my mom gave me that fabric because it was either really, really cheap, or it was one of those "what was I thinking" purchases. I thought it was hideous at the time but decided to embrace the colors by adding the flag in my cross-stitch.
