This was my first week of teaching adult sewing classes at Hancock Fabrics. What an eclectic and enthusiastic group! They were all so focused and intent on learning!
I find it hard to believe there are those who never learned to sew. It’s such a useful craft! I was blessed to have a competent Home Economics teacher, a loving, talented, patient and encouraging mother, and a skilled and “critical” grandmother whose voice I still hear telling me to “press open those seams.” I guess I just figured all women are raised in this manner, just as I assumed all men were taught how to use tools and build things. But I was wrong on both genders, and now I have found a niche: teaching sewing to those who have not yet learned.
It’s never too late . . . watch out, Project Runway!
