We never know what might strike a chord and resurface at a later date. Like many of your other commenters, I learned to sew and do handwork at an early age, but it wasn't something I did regularly until many years later.

I am deeply appreciative the my schooling included embroidery and sewing, wish I had understood that I could make it a career. I learned to embroider in kindergarten and first grade, we made felt egg cosies embroidered with daisies. My grandmother taught me to crochet and knit and somehow I taught myself to sew Barbie doll clothes and borrowed my Aunt's hand crank sewing machine to start making my own clothes when I was about nine years old. Then in high school (which I started at 11 in England) I had an amazing and very demanding sewing teacher who taught couture sewing. I have sewn all kinds of things, from baby and childrens clothing, bridesmaids dresses, drapery, boat reupholstery and quilting and now am enjoying making some fibre art. I find I sleep better when I have a chance to sew each day.<br />Love your work and your blog.<br />Vivien LevermoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
