She even matched the plaid stripes together all around the item! Alas, my sister and I are not sewers. When Mom rattles off something about sewing it is like she is speaking a foreign language to me, my eyes rollback in my head, I get dizzy, and I see her lips moving but all I hear is blah, blah, blah. Then she asks me if she is right in her assumptions and calculations. What are you kidding me--I have no idea :) I would love to sew. For some reason I love fabric, I'll buy it and have it in beautiful stacks around my room, thats it beautiful stacks nothing more. So when I say "You go girl" I mean it. Good luck and good for you!!<br />JeanetteAnnie Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301758542656241814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010672985752306761.post-37081390699046157752010-09-14T18:26:39.557-04:002010-09-14T18:26:39.557-04:00If anyone can learn something now, it's you!

I don't sew. I have stories just like yours from junior high home ec...but I don't want to learn. I did however learn to knit a couple of years ago (sort of) just for the fun of it. You should never stop learning new things!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010672985752306761.post-91820062418550143502010-09-14T11:55:21.222-04:002010-09-14T11:55:21.222-04:00I detested Home economics at school, where we spen...I detested Home economics at school, where we spent a whole school year making a gingham apron (very Doris Day). I think it's because the teacher was horrible and the projects dull.<br />Little did I realise that it would become a passion in adulthood.

Just think of what you can make if you get good at it - curtains, table runners, pillows, clothes.Pam Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830005036551331029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010672985752306761.post-15935573740158334712010-09-14T08:12:00.469-04:002010-09-14T08:12:00.469-04:00Good Luck La!

I learned to sew in the 7th grade..not because I wanted to but because I had to and ended up taking 5 years total all through junior and senior high school. I did it for easy credits but now I am so glad that I did! Now I am trying to learn how to knit....not as easy as sewing to me.~Hugs, PattiCrystal Rose Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427893770103768637noreply@blogger.com
