My mother taught me indirectly. But in reality I've taught myself.
See my mother sews very well. I was always the "design" half of our team. I found the patterns & materials & I'd do the jobs my mother hates (hems & cutting out mostly). This was how we worked until about 5 years ago.
Several years earlier SO had purchased me an inexpensive sewing machine for little things like curtains for the house and minor repairs. I had a small collection of fabric, a few notions and a couple of patterns for simple things but had never done anything more than fix a missing button without my mother. One day I was surfing & found Amity's sewing mama's. That did it! The next day I pulled out the sewing machine, fabric & a pattern for a tote bag. 3 hours later I did a SnS of my bag & was already started on making a smaller version for DD.
The rest, as they say, is history. Welcome to the board!
