In June of 1950 we moved in with my Grandma because I Dad was sent to Korea. I was 4 and bored because my Mom had to work a double shift as a nurse. Grandma started by teaching me to knit, crochet, but then a neighbor in the garment industry brought me some scraps. My Aunt taught me to cut out doll clothes and Grandma taught me to hand sew them. As soon as I was tall enough to see over the top of her White tredal, she taught me how to use it (she also bought me a "toy" iron that got really hot and an ironing board). I made my first skirt for me out of some of the scraps.
