On Saturday I was discussing sewing with a number of women engaged in a hand appliqué class. We all agreed that today's creative sewing world is vastly different from the time we spent at school, making peasant skirts by hand, smocking babies dresses, making babies matinee jackets with wobbly blanket stitch edges, all under the baleful and watchful eye of an extremely serious sewing teacher. These activities were, for 12-15 year old girls, boring in the extreme!!!! How things have changed.
