She never encouraged me to sew and turns out I hate it to. My only experience is a dress disaster in home class where I had to make a jumper. My Mom and I agonized over that stupid project and laughed a lot over how it looked like a disaster. We did not care and felt sewing was never for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120532555341624132.post-48070910891848938322013-08-18T13:59:17.957-04:002013-08-18T13:59:17.957-04:00I'm not the crafter or stitcher in my family. ...I'm not the crafter or stitcher in my family.

It was so good that the teacher couldn't even see the thread inside or out, but she still gave me a bad grade because it wasn't done by machine.<br /><br />wfnren(at)aol(dot)comWendy Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155923100367204852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120532555341624132.post-23810455217192701852013-08-14T19:03:02.578-04:002013-08-14T19:03:02.578-04:00When my daughter was young I sewed a lot of her do...When my daughter was young I sewed a lot of her doll clothes.
