Carol's Learn To Sew

Garol

I began at an early age watching my mother sew. She would coach me how everything worked until I was old enough to try for myself. I began taking my first sewing class in the ninth grade. At fourteen, I entered my first garment in the Texas State Fair and received an Honorable Mention Award. The chocolate brown gathered skirt and a blouse with raglan sleeves and as I think back on it, I wonder if I ever wore it.

After I married and had a daughter, I loved sewing her garments and continually taught myself new techniques. I always wanted to expand by learning new things. Just like any skill practice is the best way to begin learning how to sew. You can't give up on a project that did not turn out the way you expected; use it as a learning tool not to repeat.
