Well, I started sewing in Jr High. I made my first outfit to wear in a beauty pagnent. Then, I started making all my clothes and I have twin sisters and made a lot of their clothes as well. After marrying in my Senior year, I worked on my wedding dress! Then when my son came along, I made a lot of his clothes and some for my DH as well. My grandmother and aunts quilted and I remember wanting to learn how to do that. An aunt, brave as she was (still living at 92y/o) took me under her wing and taught me a few things. Recently at my church another lady and myself have started a sewing club two Saturdays a month to teach other ladies in the church how to quilt. I have sewn ever since and the rest is history. Since I stumbled onto this site and love the board, I have learned a wealth of knowledge on it, which I greatly appreciate! Everyone is so knowledgeable and when I read something, and I have a question and before I can get to where I can ask my question, someone else has ask it for me! So, I just love this board! Thanks for asking for our stories. I look forward to reading others to come.
