Happy to say our daughter (27) wants me to teach her to sew. My mother and her sisters had to sew their clothes for school and special occasions. After my grandfather died, my grandmother supported herself and her 7 children with a small grocery store and by "sewing for out" - meaning clothing and alterations.
My mom passed a few years ago and my daughter will learn in her sewing machine. Mine is computerized and I figure it's easier to teach on an old fashioned machine.
