My mother was a seamstress/tailor. She taught me to sew but I have no desire to take a men's suit apart and tailor it. lol! Made my first Barbie clothes when I was in 5th grade. Then took Home Ec in high school. Remember sewing a A-line skirt, a pleated skirt, and making peach crepes. Loved that class. I kept those Barbie clothes after all these years and there is lots of those years. lol!
