My mom used to sew before her eyes started getting bad, she can't see the little stuff very well so doesn't sew anymore.... I guess that's where my sister got her talent. I sure didn't inherit it! She used to make a lot of our clothes when we were kids. And then my grandma crocheted us all hats, mittens, scarves, and ponchos. I don't have any of those items that she'd made, I wish I did. Although I do have 3 of the afghans that she made many many years ago before she passed and I treasure them.
