[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a sewer too and concentrate on home dec stuff. Over the years, I can make custom drapes, pillows and slip covers. A few years ago, I took an upholstery class and have taken on a few big projects during the pandemic. Sewing is truly my happy place and I have infinite patience for difficult projects. My DH laughs at me because I have zero patience for technology type things. [/quote]

This is very cool. My mom is an expert seamstress and can make anything. She is fearless working with very expensive fabrics. She can make tight slipcovers with no elastic, using thick heavy duty upholstery fabric. She changes the look of her chairs and sofas when she feels like it. [/quote]

My mom is just like your mom! She was raised in Europe where she learned her skill - was taught by nuns.  She turned that skill into a very successful business when she moved to the US (late 1960's).  Me on the other hand, I can thread a needle and sew on a button.  It's shameful that I don't know how to do more.  That said she's also a skilled cook, and I learned a lot from her which I've carried into my adult life! [/quote]
