Learning How to Sew

I was thinking as I was sewing, about my Home-ec class in middle school. My Mom had already taught me how to sew with a pattern on her Featherweight, but I was excited to buy the supplies. We had to purchase basic sewing stuff,a set of needles,measuring tape, seam ripper, pins. We had to buy a dress pattern to make and fabric for class. Mine was this crazy green and yellow print a-line dress with a yellow collar. C'mon- it was the late 60's going into the 70's! Anyway we made the dresses and had a little fashion show for our Moms. It was really fun and we acted silly and pretended we were models. I still have my same seam ripper and some of my little supplies. Did your Mother teach you to sew? Did you learn at school? I used to make all my clothes, and now sew home stuff and crafts. I can't imagine not sewing.
Just in a reminiscing king of mood. I've been busy sorting and still trying to downsize. I'm listing a bunch of stuff on Etsy that I'm parting with this week. Check it out.
I hope everyone enjoyed Easter and family time together. Before we know it summer will be here.
