Deviousness |
I grew up sewing without a sewing machine since my mom did most of the sewing (on the sewing machine) and there was never really time for me to learn, so I learned basic stitching by hand. Sewing always brings back sad memories, for some reason. I can't really remember why.
I was taught how to sew at a VERY young age. by hand at about 7 years, machine by 11. I watched my mom so much I could make costumes without a pattern by age 17. I actually don't like sewing! LOL But I like the results. By grade 10 I was making most of my own clothes.... well except for Jeans LOL Believe it or not, I failed home economics and sewing in school. I hated following instructions and just did things the way I thought they should be made LOL
It's kind of cool seeing how widespread our creative talents can get. There's something about making nice things by hand that is so satisfying!
