I love to sew. Growing up in the 50s/60s my mother and Aunt Marie were always sewing clothes, pillows, curtains etc., My first recollection of me joining in was finding a needle and thread and a scrap of fabric and pulling the thread through it. I remember spelling out my name with the thread. Quickly I began sewing clothes for my dolls and of course making curtains and blankets for them.
My mother didn't pay too much attention to what I was doing, it was all trial and error on my part. I was resourceful and would figure out how to make things work the way I wanted - to this day I love this same challenge.
I believe I can do anything I want to - I just have to want to do it (and I think I can do a pretty good job at it).
