My Mom was a home economics teacher. So I learned to sew early. Once when I was little, I cut a chunk of fabric out of one of my Mom's dresses to make clothes for my troll. Well, the trolls should have some clothes too!

Good morning, OF. Is today a true day of rest?

I had an aunt that did a lot of knitting. I think I might have been the only boy that entered a pair of hand knit socks in the county fair and got a blue ribbon on them. 10th grade. That was the only thing I ever made but I was determined to do it. Wool knee highs with Rayon toes and heels for better wear.

Impressive! I'm left-handed in a righty world and Mom only had the patience to teach me how to purl. I made a 4-square sweater that looked like someone stitched together oversized pot holders. No prizes, for sure...

Now, sewing was a different matter. During the 2nd grade Mom decided that some fun summertime activities would be to turn me into a Stepford daughter and so I was enrolled in summer school sewing, cooking and typing classes. Ridiculous, now that I look back on it. I had to sit on books to reach the typewriter and sewing machine. However, later in high school I whizzed through the Home Economics class and eventually the typing had me in good stead for my court reporting career.

Pretty ticked off I'm sure! And I highly doubt she ever wore them.

Gosh you sound a lot like me! I set my headphones on my office chair when I get up to leave, like 100 times I'll come back and sit on them. Well doh!
