This was such an interesting post. You have a wealth of experience!! Thank you for sharing it with us and those photographs are wonderful!
I myself am basically self taught in sewing and knitting; our school made us make pillows one time so I knew the basics, but the rest I’ve taught myself. I can only hope to one day learn as much as you.

Thanks for visiting and commenting. We all have our skills with some having more than others. But I try to remember that it takes every skill to make the world go round….extra skill I WOULD like is to understand computer things more for my blog. Unfortunately our geek computer loving son lives in Texas
I love your blog, you’re a clever lady and am glad that I spent some time again browsing through. Be back again soon.

I envy your sewing skills. I pretty much had to outsource my sewing attempts at school or I would have failed and it was only a simple mini skirt.

My first job was just at Coles but I’d never had much chance to deal with money so it was a great way to learn to deal with it. My mother was my sewing teacher too. I really wish I took more in instead of letting her do it because she was better at it.

Thanks for visiting. Doesn’t matter what skills we learn during life, they are all stepping stones and of some value at some time or another…..even though we may not quite realize it just then
Love your website/blog. Lots of everyday common sense there.

I never learned how to sew or really do anything with clothing or fabric. My mother didn’t do any of that when I was growing up, so I guess I just never did learn as a result. My first job was at a fast food restaurant, so I didn’t learn any practical skills, but a lot of soft skills!

I think that’s an awesome first job to have. Much better than mine which really did not much to set me up for life.
Sometimes I wish it was more like that now. Instead of studying everything for a life time, you could just walk into a job and learn it as you go.
