I learned how to sew in high school and then from watching my mother. She used to be a wardrobe mistress (costume maker) so there was always a sewing project at our place.
I have sewn a few things including bathers for the twins, my marriage proposal banner (yes that's right, I asked him to marry me) and my wedding dress, pijamas for the kids and an activity blanket for a friend who's a nanny.
I want to make each of my kids a quilt or blanket that will last forever, so my next mission is to learn how to patchwork or make quilts. And, I want to teach my 8 yo daughter how to sew...will probably start with a cushion cover. Does anyone know of any good websites that teaches you how to patchwork? |
