My mom was of the generation where more or less all girls learned how to
sew. She was, I would say, competent, and she helped me to get going. My
father’s mother was a really creative seamstress. I didn’t spend much
time around her, as she lived far away, but I must have inherited some of my
creativity from her. She made me some lovely things when I was a child, but
since she was so far away, sometimes they just barely fit when I got them—
a grave disappointment, as they were so nice! I still have a satin wedding
dress she made for a doll she gave me--I probably should get it out and
put it in a shadow box frame.
