I never took Home Ec in school. Not sure why but it was a Catholic school. And nobody in my family sewed much.My aunts made curtains and my Mom loved to cook and bake. My Gram had a beautiful Singer but I never saw her use it. I learned to sew when my oldest was a baby. I really liked it. I loved making things for my 3 little ones- shorts, pj's, toys etc but not too much in the way of clothing. Not wild about making clothes.
In 1986 my friend asked me if I would go with her to an intro Quilting class and I did. That was her one and only quilt and I went crazy with it! We still laugh about it.
The funny thing about it is her quilt came out much better than mine. But she just didn't click with it the way I did.
We learned by hand and with templates. Glad I learned but never use those methods now!
My Mom was also a good knitter but not a teacher. The lady I babysat for taught me how to knit lol
