I learnt to knit at a very early age -used to knit my own dolls clothes.
I went on to learn crochet and tatting.
As a teenager I sometimes bought 3yds of cotton print on a Saturday morning, made a dress in the afternoon and wore it to go bopping on Saturday night.
I did some tailoring (a coat and several suits) - which I learnt from those expensive/detailed Vogue patterns.
I gave up making clothing when it became cheaper to buy garments than to buy the materials.
