I first sew @ 8yrs w/Grandma then made Barbie doll cloths (no pattern) just made mostly fabric tubes with fabric belts. I using Grandma's scraps. Got really hooked in Jr. High and received a Home Ec. award. I had a teacher tell me she had never seen anyone use so many pins (I hate to ripout). I sewed very little when having my family and there wasn't alot you could sew for boys compare to girls.Now I have 4 G-kids the youngest is a girl 3yrs.
Been quilting on and off for a few yrs.
