My mum did sew, but I don't remember her teaching me. Mum doing crafty things made her agro, so really was not pleasant, also she must have done most of it at night.

School taught us in home ec for year 7 & 8. For some reason I did not continue, but I did some sewing at home, just learning from following the pattern instructions. I learnt a lot more about sewing when we started the medieval reenactment, as others would show me how to make historical outfits, I would get tips about sewing from them.
