My grandmother was an excellent seamstress and took in sewing in her early marriage, before 7 kids came along! ha! She could make dresses and most anything without a pattern! I can sew enough to get by, did more when my daughter was younger. But I didn't have the patience she had! ha! Good luck! :)<br /><br />And I'm getting caught up, so I went back to your previous post, too! The tile looks great on your hearth!!! So glad it worked out beautifully!

My grandmother in law taught me how to make a dress by standing over me..sew here...now here...but it wasn't until I went at it all alone with sheer determination that I understood what I was really doing.
