Retired bridal seamstress here. Also the mom of 6 so something always needed sewing or mending. I made my first outfit for me over Christmas vacation in 5th grade. I made most of my school clothes and my sisters too. Made my kids clothes when they were little. I quilted too. I made a quilt that showed in 3 AQS shows. Now that I am retired, I get to make what I want to make. Grandma is my name and quilting is my game.
