I've been sewing for over 25 years, all my kids were the best dressed French Machine Sewn Party dresses to Smocked Bishops down to Prom Dresses. Not one had an interest....until one of my daughters was in her late 20's, and my youngest not 26 decided she wanted to learn to sew.

They couldn't wait to hang out with me after school, bring me shopping and eating, hang out in my office to talk and even wish to be invited to my apartment to hang out. They would extend invitations for me to join them to the beach on holidays, visit their families, etc... They were great students and I miss them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-12177107625252618192009-07-31T12:00:24.425+09:002009-07-31T12:00:24.425+09:00Why do you take all the trouble?
